Remember This When You Feel The Pressure In Your Life

People who graduated at 21 and don't get a job until they were 27. There are some people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately. There were people who never went to university, but found what they love at 18.

There are people who found a job straight out of college making decent money, but hate what they do, people who took gap years and found their purpose, people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16 they change their mind at 26, people who have children but are single, people who are married but had to wait 8 to 10 years to have children, people who love each other but aren't together.

So the point is, everything 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 he was 35, Morgan Freeman got his big break at 52, Steve Carell only got his break after 40 years old.

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 as 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 fulfilling 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.
