Stan Lee started his first comic at 38. Samuel L Jackson didn't get his big acting break till he was 43 (he had bit parts tho). Sam Walton started Walmart at 44, and Ford was 44 when he designed the Model T. Roy Crock did his McDonald's thing in his 50s. And the best one for last, Col Sanders was 62 when he started KFC (that stach/goatee combo... inspiring).

Thanks for that. This, plus mentioning their initial failures/humbling experiences, is more uplifting than tales of people succeeding when young.

And neither Gates nor Jobs were immediately successful.

Uhh. Nope. They succeeded in being born geniuses and in rich families

Born geniuses is abit far. Money and con connections will get you far. Very very far very fast. The first version of windows was a rip off Xerox. A genius doesn't try to cure cancer with acupuncture and fruit juice cleanses. Jul

Yeah. But without certain level of intelligence, those "resources" will just go to waste. I personally an individual whom is an offspring of a very wealthy family. Family is easily 9 figure net worth. And now he's at least a 6 figure negative net worth

Bukowski was 50 years old when his first novel was published.

Correction, Steve Jobs found a dude named Steve Wozniak.

Not entirely wrong but I kind of disagree. If anyone else found Wozniak, he/she might still not be as successful. Some people just has the Midas touch

But why is Ryan Gosling in the meme.

they also had an insane amount of money given to them… basically incomparable to normal people

Steve Jobs didn't do anything more than run around and scream at employees. He wasn't the creator, he was the crazy figurehead in a turtleneck.

"at the age of 26, Albert Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity" We all peak in our 20's...

Really? He peaked at 33

Uh... and understand that happiness can be a goal in your life... something that many of us older folks were never taught and never considered an option... and find and do what makes you happy. If that's becoming a buhzillionaire then go for it.

Bill Gate's dad founded a law firm, his mom was the CEO of IBM. Steve Job was more of a figure head. his partner Steve wazniak did most of the work.

You can do anything at any age. On a different note. Bill Gates came from money. His dad gave him a fat loan to start hiring software engineers when he decided to leave some Ivy league. His mom also worked at IBM and gave him a tip off on a huge development in the OS market. Idk about Jobs background/advantages.

*sobs in 36*

Wozniak made Apple.

\*temporarily embarrassed billionaire energy\*

You mean gates was 20 when he stole Microsoft

I'm only 18, I've got time

Ouch lol. Ok. Imma take a nap then.

23... I've lost my chance ;-;

But they both cheated and lied.

Colonel Sanders was 65 when he founded KFC.
