When They Were Your Age


At age 53:

Ludwig van Beethoven completed his Ninth Symphony despite being so
deaf that, at the end of its first performance, he could not hear
whether the audience was applauding.

Best-selling American author Sidney Sheldon began writing his first
novel.

Inventor Walter Hunt patented the safety pin.

Long-time dissident Vaclav Havel became president of Czechoslovakia.

Jimmy Carter facilitated the Camp David accords between Israel and
Egypt.

Robert E. Peary reached the North Pole.

I'm 53 because I was born in 1953.

That must mean everyone is the age of the year they were born.

Yeah...
Math's not my best area.

Yeah, love those facts - makes me feel like I've still got time to find that
'thing' that's waiting to burst forth and be the (career) pinnacle of my
life! LOL

Keep 'em coming.

Cheers
