This fast-paced grandmother in her 90s will give a head start even to energetic youngsters! I tried to retire five times.
We often say to ourselves, “I’m too old for this, it’s too late to start.” We lament that we didn’t learn something in our time, risk changing jobs, or do something else. It’s never too late to take life into your own hands and start doing what you really want. And Barbara Beskind proved it by her example.
Editorial "Site" He will tell you the story of this wonderful woman and reveal it. Little secrets of happiness.
Barbara knew from childhood that she would become an inventor. When she was 10, she started making toys for herself. When her father lost his job and the family was very short of money, she helped her parents as best she could. Despite her dream, she enrolled in military nurses and then served 44 years in the army as a rehabilitation specialist.
“I became organized, disciplined, independent and learned to solve problems. All these qualities are very helpful when a person starts to age, says Barbara. She believes that this has shaped her character and outlook on life.
After leaving the army, Barbara Beskind opened a private medical practice. The inventor was still alive in her heart. While practicing, she invented and patented six devices that help in the rehabilitation of patients.
All these years, the woman did not give up her dream of invention. I tried to retire five times and each time my career started anew. It is always about creativity.” The next step in her career was working in Silicon Valley. It's an unexpected turn, isn't it?

Barbara was interested in this company, and she sent them her resume - paper, by mail. The staff was very surprised, but they paid attention to the letter and invited the woman to come to them and talk. She has been an IDEO employee ever since.

The woman works in a department that develops devices for the elderly. In two years, she was able to develop several devices that help with walking, as well as special pencils for people with poor eyesight and a new type of walker.
In the company, Barbara is considered indispensable, she is very loved and respected. The main trump cards of a woman are experience, knowledge and age. She, like no one else, understands what her peers need. A woman in her 90s looks great, keeps active and a positive lifestyle. She has one little secret in store...
“Creativity is the youthfulness, says Barbara. Ever since I got here, my mind has been busy developing all sorts of solutions, it’s terribly interesting. The woman has five grandchildren, who are between 9 and 16 years old. They are so excited about what their grandmother does. What can be more inspiring than praising teenagers?
