Some of us have natural abilities and are lucky enough to be able to employ them at an early age, like you, William. Others develop these interests over the years and like fine wine, improve with age, like me (hopefully). I still delight in being asked how old I am, but for different reasons than when I was young. In general showing deference to one’s elders rarely does one any harm. Chivalry rocks!

Most of the time, I consider myself lucky. However, there have been times when it has been a problem.
When I was 27, I got a job as a housing finance adviser. Many clients asked to speak to somebody older, so that my employer transferred me to other work. The other work was boring, so I eventually moved to another job.
