Older but Wiser, also very quiet! As you get older you gain so much life experience. Your skills increase, your ability to think before you speak and act increases. You build up a network of friends and colleagues. Just as you begin to understand how to play the game of life, the community, business and government all start to ignore you. 

I want to see older, more experienced people, speak out, come together, start businesses, stand for election. To kick start the economy we have to be positive, only mix with positive people, look forward, have an idea and then go for it. 

We need a new networking group that will bring people, businesses and politics together. Think big and then just do it. Do not accept no, the power of a few motivated people moving forward can achieve anything.
