Here is a link to an article that's important to read in my opinion:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_bloomer.
To quote from the article:
"Although there is a common perception that intellectual development peaks in a young adult and then slowly declines with increasing age, this may be simplistic. Although the ability to form new memories and concepts may indeed diminish, the older person has the advantage of accumulated knowledge, associations between concepts, and mental techniques that may give them an advantage in some fields."
Puts a question mark on our notions regarding "timelines of success" and the rigidity with which some seem to think of these timelines, doesn't it?
*You*, Yes *you*, If there is something you have been wanting to do, and are getting bogged down with the notion that it might be "too late" to have a go at it, dismiss that notion. Dismiss it. Give yourself a fair shot. You deserve that as much as anyone else.
