Many things are said to improve with age - wine for instance. But people? No, not as much. But the thing is to not rely on age alone to improve one's self. You must endeavor always to improve yourself, in whatever it is that you do. I have long said, that I will not respect someone solely for being my elder - and as such, I would not expect respect merely for having managed to live longer than someone else.
One who wastes away for years is but a waste, whereas one who spends a lifetime struggling to be better - will prove to be the greatest icon of mankind. If you fail at something, try again. If you find yourself lacking some knowledge - then seek it out. Do not allow age to draw you into some sort of complacency.
Worse yet, is the culprit of business. The world spins around us and if we cannot maintain focus - then everything tumbles out of our control. You must gear yourself to move ahead through the storm if you hope to achieve anything. Life has a tendency to become busier and more distracting and so there is no time like the present in order to achieve - for the future will likely be even more distracting.
