Transcript:
Mary Dixon became a pilot at the age of 50.
Francis Chichester sailed around the world when he was 52. He did this alone.
Henry Jay Heimlich developed his emergency maneuver at the age of 54.
At the same age Anthony Hopkins received his first Oscar.
George Burns received his when he was 80.
Daniel Defoe wrote "Robinson Crusoe" at the age of 59.
John Glenn went into space again when he was 77 years old.
The Average Nobel prize winner is 63 years old.
Theodor Mommsen received it at the age of 85.
Teiichi Igarashi climbed Mount Fuji and next year turned 100. Then climbed it again.
As for me? I'm 29 years old and I haven't done anything that I'd be proud of... Yet.
And because of these people I know that I still have time.
I guess, I shouldn't waste it...
Life is not divided into episodes. It's whole. Like a film I'm trying to write right now...
Contrary to popular belief... people don't have "best before" dates - my grandmother just started dating again. Her new boyfriend is 89.
No matter how old you are - you live. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Thanks Mr.Vidmantas! This so needed to be said and you said it well. I'm 75 and I am just now starting to write music that I think is good enough to publish.
proud of you Bill !!
Renee Clare-Kovacs was 40 when she finished the degree she started at age 18. Amaze yourself.
This just came at THE MOST PERFECT TIME!!! Thank you so much -- YOU are inspiring and that's an attribute that goes a long way!!! I'm turning 71 next week and I needed this :) Blessings overflowing to you .... keep up the great work!
Great video. Very inspiring!
this is the best remedy to existential crises thank you so much for this
Thank You, that's reassuring really. These things take time, so spend the time and do it well!
This was beautifully inspiring. Thank you.
Dank u voor die ontzagwekkende video onder het en zeeworp van het grote aantal van globale netwerken.
This is fabulous! I plan to share it with my readers for inspiration. Thank you!
I couldn't agree more and I really appreciate the reminder about the achievements of people over the age of 50. At 65, I'm finding the conventional mindset ("it's all downhill now") sneaking into my mind from time to time too! This is a welcome prompt to toss it out 😀 and get on with this new stage of life with enthusiasm and enjoyment.
Very inspiring. Loved the idea.
You haven't done anything great yet you say? Here you are trying to let others know they aren't alone with this video, using your time to inspire others and maybe give the ones who feel like they don't quite stack up some hope in that they still have time yet you feel you've not done anything great. Sometimes, it isn't the one huge, blow you away action or achievement that is truly great but all the small things. The ripple effect that your actions and words can have holds the potential to become massive and you've decided to use your actions and words to try to inspire others, let them know they aren't alone and that there's still hope. By my definition, that's pretty great. It may not seem huge but ripples expand.
I agree too.
Thank you for this video!
This is an inspirational film. Speaking as a 40 something who has struggled with the concept of growing old since leaving 30 something, this was just the tonic and the link will be remaining somewhere close by for days when I start to feel it's too late to be something more. Well done, what more can I say, to me you have made a difference!
Best video in this competition so far. I hope this video wins:) Good luck Tadas!
I love this!

Fantastic video. Inspiring.
Actually very inspiring video (; well done!
Thanks. Had a rough day, really needed something like this.
Great video, very optimistic and motivating.
I think this is the best video you have done so far, very inspiring, Tadai.
well said. thank you for this video.
Oh thanks, you made me cry, no irony here. Amazing message! Sadly we forget that we have a future, and get stuck in the moment. I know I do that...
such a good and motivational video, good job :)
Who gave this a thumbs down!? Meh! I need to watch this video at least a couple time a year. Thank you for making it :)
Inspiring!
This video deserves a million views.

That's very motivating indeed.
Damn, this is really, really good.
I love this movie. sometimes it seems to me that I can't nothing change in my life, that I wasted too much time . Thank this movie I want constantly live, work and enjoy of this, who I am.
thank you
So good.
That's something a lot of people forget, that it doesnt matter how old you are, you should get the most you can!
Awesome.
Good motivational video. Life doesn't stop at the age of 50 or even 80 or more.
Thank you.
inspiring : )
Just: thank you.

Suzy Doob started singing professionally at age 60!
Puikus klipas!
I'm going to subscribe my friend :)
good thing those are on post-its, i'm getting on in years and couldn't possibly remember all that.
That's totally great..... And true! 😘
Nobel prizewinners are a bit of an incongruous pick here: many or most did the work they were awarded for decades before they were honoured. In particular Mommsen, who is picked out for getting his Prize at 85, did the work he got his prize for (in Literature) early in his career, nearly 50 years before the prize was awarded! Higgs' and Englert's Physics Nobel last year was a similarly long time in the making. Nice inspiring video, but let's not overstate it.
"and because of these people, I know that I have time, I guess, I shouldn't waste it" (quoted from the video)
Don´t want to be old. You look like a smart quy, but you have to trust to yourself (be self confident), because self confident is the most important attribute for life.
No matter how old I am - I'm already tired of living.
I know I'm mean, but I'm completely unaffected by such motivators like your video.
I feel like this video will make people think it's ok to wait for things to happen. I think it's important to have a sense of urgency and not rely on waiting around until your 50 to achieve something, no one is promised to even get to 50. I always have felt for some reason I'll die young, it gives me a great drive to achieve my goals...NOW! Still was a great video though :) just saying, keep up the good work mate!
i'm 24 now and i don't have to try to do anything amazing for next few decades because i'll do some awesome shit when i'm old.
Guess i can keep playing video games till im 50 then.
Very awesome video and perspective... only one thing I do not understand: ¿Por qué no puedo expresar ésta opinión en otro lenguaje de los que hablamos en el mundo?
No matter how old you are - you live.
it's good. really good :)
hope u win ;]
Tres Bien.
It IS his video, and the comments are something he would like to be able to read without resulting to Google Engrish. As far as I can tell, nothing in CZcams's ToS prevent him from limiting comments to English-only, so that is his right.
Besides, there are a lot of different places on the internet where people are requested to write in English only... it makes it easier to moderate discussion for the people who DON'T speak a second language (of which there are quite a few).
he is totally right man live ur way trough with no regrets lol :)
have fun in ya 15 years 20 years 25 years 30 years 35 years 40 years and don't regret all faults allways can be fixed but not the fun :)
yes
would be great to see this in Lithuanian - my dad is worth seeing it.
That "young man" is so gorgeous :O
fainai tadai - tikiuosi tu laimesi :)
Great video! Thank you from the Ukraine!
ill be dead by then
Moral of the story.
There still is lots of time. I'll do it later!
¿Qué dice el cuadro naranja que sale al final?
That doesn't change anything. Those famous persons dedicated their whole life to do what they did. It doesn't mean that what you've started at the age of 30yrs, you will finish on time.
@Mangusted Canon EOS 7D. Written in the tags :)
Sorry to criticise, but "Mommsen's History of Rome: His most famous work appeared as three volumes in 1854, 1855, and 1856" (Wikipedia), nearly 50 years before his Nobel Prize (1902). And Barbara McClintock did her most important work before she was 50. So you need to start working for that prize right now, not wait till you're 80!
Made me want to do something useful. After five seconds this feeling vanished :(
@afig3ns That was the "punchline" in the video. What was the point of writing it out?
Please comment in English only. Thanks.
I'm 29!
Great video, it's never too late and I absolutely believe this! After many setbacks I had to begin again @ 50 and I'm NOT looking back...If you're interested I actually started a little blog about it. Just Google "starting over at 50" and check it out...
Nothing wrong with playing video games when you are old, actually if you aren't playing something like farmville it will keep your brain active and you won't become a boring old man.
Just remember to do something else on the side and not completely devote your life playing video games.
i am not going to live that long :D
Não fique bravo com pessoas que escrevem em outras linguas, é só usar algum serviço de tradução (Google Translator), como prega o vídeo: Não se agarre a futilidades
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Name of the song? Or wot is it?
te va a caver la policia de internet por subersivo XD
Your comment fits your username pretty well.
look guys. i am impressed. i have watched many of your films now. started with a student... :)
i was looking for a company to do an add for our company, and i found you. i will drop you a line.
you dont need to get a nobel prize to be noticed. you are noticed already.
No, there aren't. But on the other hand - in video he speaks english and there are no subtitles. If someone can't write english, probably can't even understand what the video is about. So how could anybody who don't understand (and can't write) english write a meaningful comment?
Achei o vídeo maravilhoso até ler a tarja dizendo "só escreva comentários em inglês". Sério?
Que desnecessário.
Onde você pensa que está?
Isso aqui é a INTERNET e eu escrevo comentários na língua que eu quiser.
***** time to learn a new language. never is too late..
Joao Guimaraes Falo inglês muito bem, querido. Obrigada pelo conselho.
y success follows only when our black hair turns into grey??
So... Nobel Prize seems pretty easy to win
@piotrosb Yeah, but he asked to comment in english only, so everyone could understand. I know what you're saying with google translate, lol.
What, if I don't want to comment in English? :D
@piotrosb Kultura wymaga tego, by w miedzynarodowym miejscu wypowiadac sie w ogolno znanym jezyku.
