validate method in backbone.js is not working

I am learning backbone.js, using a validate method in it. But it is not getting triggered at set following is my code:

JS:

var person = Backbone.Model.extend({
    defaults:{
        name:"Soni",
        age:'40',
        work:'Still searching'
    },
    mainWork: function(mainwork) {
        return this.get('name')+" does "+mainwork+" for living";
    },
    validate: function(attrs) {
            console.log("hi");
        if (attrs.age < 1) {
            return "can't end before it starts";
        }
    }
});

on console:

var x = new person({name:'xyz',age:37});
x.set('age',-34);

please tell me, what am I missing here.

Validate method will be called on model save. If you want to trigger it on attribute set you should call it will validate: true option:

x.set({age: -34}, {validate: true});
