The fact that you can't control something doesn't mean you shouldn't think about it. Basketball players can't control their height, but it affects the techniques they can use.

You missed his point. What he is saying is that age should not be a matter of significance.

From the article: "There are many things in life you are or can be responsible for, but the date of your birth is not one of them. When I meet someone who makes too much of their calendar age..."

Doesn't sound to me like I'm missing his point.

40 year olds have different strengths and weaknesses from 20 year olds. Very few people, possibly zero, can transcend that. I can't. And it's stupid not to adjust your game to suit your strengths.
