Potential
Potential is that forever elusive thing that most of us chase. Parents proudly announce that their child is a prodigy (some are, most are hitting average milestones). This post is meant to celebrate the late bloomers.

Darwin's Delay: Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, was considered an ordinary student. 🐢
Picasso's Patience: Pablo Picasso, the iconic artist, didn't gain recognition until his 40s. 🎨
Reagan's Rise: Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. President, found his political footing in his 50s. 🦅

Potential for a pension crisis or government finance crisis due to increased longevity and the strain on public retirement systems.
