It's Never too Late
Today everyone saying start your journey early, if you don't you would never succeed.At Last two years of A level, you have told that in two years you will be finishing your A level. After this, in three years time, you'll be studying across the world, studying at the University of your choice, In five years times, you'll have started your career. You will be working for the top institution across the world. You will then get married, you then may buy a house. In ten years time, your life will be set for you. In 15 years you'll be 30 and from then on your path, your life will be set.
I will tell you why that approach may fail you.
I know people who graduated at 21 and didn't get a job until they were 26. I know people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately. I know people who never went to University but found what they love at 18. I know people who found a job straight out of college making decent money, but hate what they do. I know people who took gap years and found their purpose. I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, they change their mind at 26. I know people who have children but are single and I know people who are married but had to wait for 8 to 10 years to have children. I know people in relationships who live someone else. I know people who love each other but aren't together. So my point is everythig in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at some of your friends and think that they're ahead of you, maybe some of them you feel are behind but everything happens at their own pace. They have their own time and clock and so do you. Be patient.
At age 25, Mark Cuban was a bartender in Dallas.
It took till 32 for J.K Rowling to be published for Harry Potter after being rejected by 12 publishers.
Ortega launched Zara when he was 39.
Jack Ma started Alibaba when was 35.
Morgan Freeman got his big break at 52.
Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34.
Getting your degree after 25 is still an achievement. Not being married at 30 but still happy is beautiful. Starting a family after 35 is still possible and buying a house after 40 is still great. Don't let anyone rush you with their timelines. Because Einstein said,
"Not everything that counts can be counted
and not everything that's counted truly counts."
And this is the most important thing, I want you to be able to create meaningful,purposeful fullgfilling lives for yourselves and learn how to use that to make an impact and a difference in the lives of others.
That will be true Success

Great post! ”It’s never too late”, works with a lot of other things too. Like getting into better shape or begin eat better. When you think about career, at age 25 for example you are in very begin of it, you don’t have to be instantly in ”dream job”, work yourself through, take opportunities you’re offered and send those god damn job applications. Sometimes grass is greener on the other side.
yes shortcuts never take you to your dream job its experience matters
