Today is my sister's birthday she is 37.
 
Wow, what a diverse group of people! It's amazing to see how many different industries and professions are represented here, from music and entertainment to sports and politics. It's also interesting to see the wide range of ages, from 89 to 24. It just goes to show that age is just a number and you're never too old or too young to achieve great things. I'm especially impressed by A.R. Rahman, who composed the soundtrack for "Slumdog Millionaire" at the age of 44, and Julie Chen, who has had a successful career in television at just 40 years old. It's inspiring to see people from all walks of life achieving success and making an impact in their fields.
