Well, no - “If you really want to, you can fly into space!” WANT.ua has selected for you 7 famous women who are living proof that after 35, life and career are just beginning!
MARY KAY ASH - FOUNDER OF MARY KAY COSMETICS COMPANY
“Even if a woman does not work hard and hard for money, she is ready to move mountains for recognition!”
Her story is direct proof of what a woman who believes in herself and does not want to see obstacles on the path to her goal can do. She dreamed of becoming a nurse because she was caring for her father, who had tuberculosis, but due to lack of money she went to work in a restaurant as a waitress. After her husband's betrayal, and being left with three children in her arms, Mary could not afford to work as a simple waitress - there was not enough money for anything.
Then she got a job at StanleyHomeProducts, where she began doing commission sales. This went on for 11 years, Mary achieved considerable success in her work, but because of this she was forced to resign from the company.
In 1953, at one of the parties, Mary met a woman who knew the secret of “eternal youth” of skin. In 1963, Kay Ash opened her first small cosmetics store, risking everything and making the right decision.
At that time, Mary was 45 years old, although the woman did not like to talk about her age. Mary died in 2001, but her business is still thriving to this day.
JACQUELINE MURDOCH - SUCCESSFUL MODEL
It's an amazing thing to become a world famous model at 82 years old. Jacqueline dreamed of becoming a dancer and even reached certain heights in this field - she studied with a certain young man who taught her ballroom dancing every day in the living room of her parents' house. But the teacher went to Europe on tour and Jacqueline was left alone - she danced at the New York Apollo Theater, so even in adulthood she was distinguished by her flexibility, elegance and grace.
As a result, Jacqueline's life settled down - she got married, gave birth to two children, got a job as a secretary at New York University and got divorced. Everything is like everyone else! Although no - the woman was passionate about fashion, often walking the streets of New York during the parade.
On one of the ordinary days, Ari Seth Cohen approached Jacqueline and took several photos of the spectacular and fashionable “granny”, which he posted on his Advanced Style blog.
It was a fateful meeting - the 82-year-old woman attracted the attention of fashion and became a celebrity.
VERA WONG - WEDDING DRESS DESIGNER
It cannot be said that before founding her own brand of wedding dresses, which are especially popular among bohemians, Vera’s work was boring and poorly paid - she still held the position of head of the fashion department for 17 years. Apparently, the designer did not receive satisfaction from her work, or stopped receiving it after a nn-number of years and decided to radically.
When Vera was 40 years old, she opened her own design salon at the Carlyle Hotel in New York and completely switched to this work.
MARGARET MITCHELL - AUTHOR OF GONE WITH THE WIND
Margaret's childhood was spent in Atlanta, Georgia, in an atmosphere of historical stories about the events of the recent era. The impressionable girl liked stories, she dreamed of writing a book about something like that. Margaret received her education at the Washington Seminary, then entered the prestigious Smith College for Women, but due to the Spanish flu pandemic and the death of her mother, she was forced to return home. A little time will pass and the girl will begin to work as a journalist, but due to an ankle injury it was not possible to continue working as a reporter and the future writer left the newspaper.
Perhaps, if there had not been an injury, the world would not have seen the novel “Gone with the Wind,” on which Mitchell worked for 10 years, not without the support of her husband. And when Margaret was 36 years old, the novel was finally completed and published.
In 1937, Gone with the Wind received a Pulitzer Prize, and two years later it was made into a film. Despite numerous requests from fans, Margaret did not write another book, and in 1949 she was hit by a car and died.
KATHERINE JUSTEN - ACTRESS
The two-time Emmy Award winner did a lot of things before she became a famous actress. She had to earn a living as a painter, she was a nurse in a psychiatric clinic, but this streak in her life ended.
Katherine's life was turned upside down when her mother confessed on her deathbed that she regretted not being able to realize her dreams.
At that time, the future star of American television series was 42 years old; she enrolled in acting classes with the intention of fulfilling her dream. But not everything was smooth - it took Katherine more than 10 years of unsuccessfully storming castings before, at the age of 60, she auditioned for the series “The West Wing”. In total, the actress starred in about 107 films and TV series, albeit in minor roles.
ANNA MARIA MOSES - TALENTED ARTIST
Anna Maria, now known as Grandma Moses, spent her entire life farming and living an uneventful life on a farm in New York State. She loved to embroider and decorated the house with her crafts, but closer to the age of 70 she developed arthritis, Anna was unable to continue embroidering, and after the death of her husband she began to draw.
When Grandma Moses was 78 years old, her drawings in one of the local pharmacies were noticed by a collector who bought all the old woman’s works. In the 1940s, Anna Maria's work was exhibited in various European cities and Japan, and she received a New York State Award and a National American Women's Press Club Award.
On the artist’s centenary, Life magazine published her photo on the cover of the magazine.
This is how an ordinary village farmer, depicting rural landscapes and everyday scenes that do not have an adult vision, became an incredibly talented and world-famous artist.
SYLVIA WAINSTOCK - SENSATIONAL PASTRY CHECKER-DECORATOR
This woman worked as a kindergarten teacher all her life, but she got tired of this work and at the age of 52 she started making incredible custom cakes. Her cakes are a real work of art, with A-list celebrities queuing up for them - from Kennedy to. At first, the cakes were ordered exclusively by Sylvia’s relatives, acquaintances and friends, but after a while, pastry shops and restaurants around the world paid attention to her works of art.
For more than 30 years, Sylvia has been creating magical cakes that you want to look at but not eat - they are so perfect.
The pastry chef has a special approach to baking - nothing is impossible for her, she is able to realize any client’s wishes. Currently, 87-year-old Sylvia’s confectionery products are created by a team of 16 people.

In this article, we will talk about why it is so necessary for people over 40 to engage in self-development. What is a midlife crisis, why does it happen and how to deal with it. People who change their lives after 40 years gain a second youth and begin to live to the fullest.
Many people who reach the age of 40 or more become depressed. The reason for this is social stereotypes that a person can only be beautiful in his youth. Many companies hire employees under 30-35 years of age. The crisis at this age is intensified by the fact that a person begins to try on old age and worry about how he will look. It is at this age that many of their parents pass away. It reminds me of old age and makes me think that I'm next.

Having carefully reviewed it, we decided to offer it to your attention...
Many people believe that after 40 years it is too late to change anything. They are embarrassed to take courses, learn a new profession, and are afraid of being judged. They come up with stereotypes for themselves, how a person should behave after 40, what they should achieve, how they should look, etc. Many people are afraid of retirement and don’t understand how they will survive if they remain unemployed. Against the backdrop of these worries and worries, human health deteriorates.
The main questions of a midlife crisis are: “What have I achieved? What else can I do? Am I living right? Why did I come into this world? Why am I living? What will I leave behind? What's next for me? What needs and can be changed?
Olga Khukhlaeva
Is it possible to change your life after 40 years and how to get out of the crisis of adulthood?
To get out of the crisis, you need to analyze the past years and realize their value. The value is not personal achievements, but the significance of all life situations and circumstances through which one was destined to go. Thinking about his past, about his experiences, a person thinks about the meaning of life, about the values and priorities that he set. This leads to rethinking and reassessment of values, or vice versa, confirms that everything was done correctly.
Reassessment of values pushes a person to change and make changes in life. It is wonderful. The main thing is that a person does not have the fear of changing his life after 40 years. Not only a person’s internal needs, but also external circumstances can motivate change. For example, it is during this period that adult children leave the family and grandchildren are born. A person should find something positive in this. Children leaving for adulthood is not a reason to become depressed, but an opportunity to devote more time to yourself and your loved one. Go on a trip or change your field of activity. You can find yourself an interesting hobby. Some people dedicate their lives to their grandchildren and feel happy again to see a little version of your child grow up. In many countries, families have their own children after age 40. Why not. There is no need to be afraid of this, you will feel like young parents again.
At this age, you need to look at any changes positively. This is the age when you have enough strength, intelligence and experience to start any new business.
In addition to gratitude and acceptance of your past, you also need to appreciate your present. If it’s difficult for you, you’re depressed and don’t want anything, then write down on a piece of paper everything that brings you joy. Write down everything that makes you proud and happy. This will help you maintain a positive attitude.
At 40 it all just begins
People who have changed their lives radically after 40 usually communicate a lot with young people. They share their experiences, ideas and attitudes to life, and young people remind them by example how to have fun, enjoy life and not be afraid of change. Such multi-age relationships bring enormous benefits to both parties.
It is the midlife crisis that becomes a certain stage in a person’s development, enriches him and is an impetus for self-development after 40. This is a period of maturity when a person has not only accumulated enough life experience, but is also mature enough to realize it and understand the meaning of his existence.
All people are going through this crisis. But it happens differently for everyone. Some pass it quite successfully and painlessly. This happens if a person understands how to live and where to move next.
People who have changed their lives after 40 years are open to change and reveal all their hidden potential and resources. After all, in the first half of life, all energy is spent on starting a family, studying and career, and after 40 years there is time to think about yourself, about your true desires and needs.
During this period, a person must concentrate on his inner world and engage in self-development. Self-development after 40 years will give you the opportunity to become wiser, show your creativity, and not fall into despair and depression.
How to discover new opportunities for yourself?
The soul of a person in the second half of life changes profoundly and amazingly. But, unfortunately, most smart and educated people live unaware of the possibility of these changes. And therefore, they enter the second half of life unprepared
Failure to understand these possibilities leads to the fact that a person begins to resist his age, focuses on shortcomings and lashes out at others. It is during this period that family conflicts most often arise, families fall apart, health deteriorates and professional productivity declines. But everything should be the other way around.
How can you help a person survive a crisis of 40 years? It is necessary to convey to the person that he has emotional problems, which are the cause of discord in the family and at work, and conflicts with friends. These problems can only be solved through self-improvement and active work on oneself.
Since the crisis manifests itself in depression, lack of joy and fear of the future, it is necessary first of all to help a person see the sources of joy in his life and convey that happiness is a state of mind. It cannot be found somewhere from the outside; happiness is a person’s attitude towards life. It is not determined by success, money, or the satisfaction of all desires.
To understand this, a person needs to keep a gratitude journal. In it you need to write down every day everything for which he is grateful today: for wonderful weather, health, housing, food, beauty, peace, etc.
Let's look at some examples of stories of real people who changed their lives after 40.
How did they do this and what exactly did they do?
Julia Child is a woman who first tried French cuisine at the age of 36. She was so impressed that she took a chef's course and studied French food until she was 51. She became world famous when she wrote the book “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” The amazing film “Julie and Julia: A Recipe for Happiness” was made about her.
Heidemarie Schwermer is known all over the world. She decided to experiment to see if it was possible to live a life without money for a whole year. She gave away her property and, in exchange for food, washed people's windows, did cleaning, and walked dogs. She felt so free that she continued her experiment. She lived like this for 17 years, now she conducts consultations and lectures on life without material values, since she is a psychotherapist by profession.
Richelle Jones lived with her son all her life, but when he grew up and moved to another city, she began to look for some meaning in life. As a result, she enrolled in photography and web design courses and began posting photos of her cakes on the website. Now she has opened her own pastry shop.
Saniya Sagitova from Ufa, after retiring at 55, decided that she wanted to travel. At 69 years old, she has already hitchhiked around 40 countries. She herself received a driver’s license to help drivers along the way.
Mark Manson is an American writer who runs his own blog. He turned to his subscribers with a request that they share their experiences of how they changed their lives after 40. During such an experiment, he collected advice from all people. The result was a kind of example of collective wisdom.
- Start taking care of your health, switch to proper nutrition, and exercise. As the famous nutritionist Larisa Butkova said:
“Unfortunately, most people live in full accordance with popular wisdom: a person remembers his health when he gets sick, and begins to value it when he loses it. Therefore, there can only be one piece of advice here: do not put off “right habits” until tomorrow and do not look for excuses for yourself. It depends only on you whether your old age will be active or decrepit, and whether it will come at all.” - Get rid of exhausting relationships. Don't waste your life on people who treat you badly.
- Spend as much time as possible with your family and have children. It gives joy and prolongs youth.
- Don’t be afraid to start over, go learn and change your field of activity. Get rid of the prejudice that studying at 40 is too late. It's never too late to learn. It’s better to do something and regret it than to regret for the rest of your life that you never decided to do something.
- Engage in self-development. A person who is closed to everything new begins to degrade and becomes uninteresting either to himself or to those around him. You need to get to know yourself, reveal your inner potential, and determine your true goals and desires.
- Loving yourself means taking care of yourself, doing something nice for yourself every day. Loving yourself means accepting yourself for who you are, not focusing on the opinions of others and living your full life. Listen to your inner voice and fulfill your wildest desires and dreams.
The fortieth birthday is traditionally considered a difficult age, a crisis milestone. It seems that by celebrating this sad anniversary, you will instantly turn from a girl or young man into a woman and a man. All that lies ahead is old age and decay, lack of prospects and impending retirement.
A couple of centuries ago, such an age was indeed considered advanced. But who today would call Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp, who celebrated their 54th birthday, old men? And 43-year-old Angelina Jolie is an old woman?
Even the World Health Organization has made adjustments to the age classification.
Young people are now considered to be between 18 and 44 years old. And 45–59 years old is the average age.
This means only one thing: 40 years is a wonderful time, very suitable for starting a new life, implementing bold projects, changing jobs and other actions that deviate from standard life patterns. All you need is desire.
Feel all the benefits
There are several important advantages to turning 40. As a rule, they already have education behind them (sometimes more than one), accumulated experience and good connections. They know what they want and have an idea of what it takes to achieve success. They do not expect manna from heaven to fall on them. Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, because anything can happen in life.
They have time-tested friends, loved ones and loved ones nearby. Children, most likely, have already grown out of diapers and are studying at school or university. Communication with them gives 40-year-olds an amazing opportunity to understand how two generations live at once and draw conclusions from it.
Of course, a lot depends on the baggage and attitude with which a person approached this milestone. After all, it also happens that you spent two decades in the office as an assistant or junior manager.
Remember: it's not too late to change something
The most common phobias associated with the upcoming 40th anniversary relate to the thesis “it’s too late to change something”: they won’t get a new job, nothing will work out in their personal life, I won’t understand new technologies, I won’t fit into the team... But is this really true? really?
In analyzing the activities of more than twenty-five thousand people, I discovered that rarely did anyone achieve outstanding success before the age of forty. Most often, they were already under fifty when they gained the necessary speed.
Napoleon Hill, American writer
These words are supported by many examples:
