The reality is, youthful achievement or not, we’re all on the same trajectory — birth, growth, peak, decline, death. https://medium.com/westenberg/i-am-not-a-prodigy-472c1f846588

Great write up by the way! I’m a decade older (in my mid-40s), and while I’ve now reached where I wanted to be career-wise, my mind is slowly shifting to “sticking the landing” for the terminal 15 or so years remaining. Ageism is a thing and I don’t want to end up an unemployable washout 500 $degen

I've always liked Earl Nightingale's definition of success: "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal." There's sufficient wriggle room there to succeed at so many things in an "ordinary" life.

As always Joan, a thoughtful, engaging piece that is easy to read and hard to walk away from. Our worship of young innovators reminds me a lot of our country. We don't have a rich history spanning centuries like most of the world does. So, we are in essence, a child prodigy. Let's hope we can mature like you did. 😁

I’m gonna try for a birth, growth, growth, growth, peak, haha you thought that was peak? go do more growth, decline instead, ok fine growth again, growth, growth, decline x 2, growth, surprise peak, growth x 5, hold steady [insert rest of joke here since about to hit char limit] type thing instead!

It truly fucked with my mental health receiving lots of praise, PR etc in my early 20s that led with my age - by the time I was in my mid 20s it felt that anything I achieved was comparatively irrelevant and that I’d missed my chance. Media gives it far too much weight.
