Welcome, listeners. Today we’re exploring the timeless phrase: “Better late than never.” Originating from the Latin “potiusque sero quam nunquam” and popularized in English by Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, this idiom reminds us that pursuing a goal is always worthwhile—no matter when we start. Society often amplifies the pressure to achieve success by a certain age, making those who stumble or change paths feel like their time has passed. But history and recent events counter that idea at every turn.

Take Tony Gwynn, a baseball legend, who made over five thousand outs in his career but treated each setback as essential to his ultimate triumphs. His perspective shows that every misstep can be a stepping stone, not a stop sign. Or consider Mary Kay Ash, who faced years of rejection before founding her namesake beauty company at a time when few women led businesses. She started at 45, bet her savings on her dream, and built a billion-dollar empire powering the careers of hundreds of thousands.

Recent news is filled with these late bloomers and comeback stories. Francesca Cabrini, for example, faced relentless rejection before finally succeeding, her persistence echoing the core message of “better late than never.” It’s easy to overlook the fact that Ukraine’s military revival, as discussed recently by Britannica, resulted not from immediate victory but from years of reform and resilience—proof that steady progress, even if delayed, can eventually turn tides.

These stories remind us that there is no expiration date on ambition. Life rarely follows a straight path. Whether you’re changing careers, going back to school, healing relationships, or chasing a dream deferred, remember that the act of starting—or starting again—is what counts. Let go of the myth that you’ve missed your moment. Instead, let perseverance guide you. Listeners, if you feel behind, remember: success is not about early wins; it’s about endurance, adaptation, and the courage to begin, no matter the hour. After all, better late than never.
