Globe and Mail: Pursuing a Dream After Corporate Life

Stories like these inspire me.  From the Globe and Mail:

"Pursuing a dream after corporate life - It's a move many in the corporate trenches fantasize about. Brian Levy took the next step. Now a medical student, he looks back at his 30-year rise to the top of the Source by Circuit City and his decision to move"

The social clock does not exist for a guy like me in this day and age.  Maybe it does for the women biologically (and even hearing that statement from someone, for me, borders on sexism). But the clock does not exist in my mind for me and I must be resilient yet understanding of those who find relief in projecting their insecurities unto me, hoping I fail as well.

If he can do it at 51 (despite the controversy surrounding the subsequent use of taxpayers' dollars and taking up a spot of a younger applicant - oh wait, that would be ageism), then I must make sure everything I do furthers myself along the path to what I feel in my heart.  I don't want to follow another path regretting it all or feeling I settled and look back feeling like this when I'm 50.  He's lucky to even start again at 50.  I may not.
