Attention you "too old/welp past my prime" doomers and copers...Be like Mandelbrot. It ain't over til you give up. It ain't over til you give up.
IN 2004, in his eightieth year, Mandelbrot continues making trouble. He works the same full schedule—including weekends—as he always has. He continues publishing new research papers and books, lecturing at Yale, and traveling the world of scientific conferences to advance his views. Why not? After all, as he points out, Racine’s most enduring play, Athalie; Verdi’s greatest opera, Falstaff; Wagner’s Ring Cycle—all were written in the twilight of life, when the artist, after years of experience and experimentation, was at the height of his powers.
