is it true that if u haven't accomplished anything great by your 20's, u never will?

No, it's not too late. Heaps of people have achieved their life's greatest achievements later in life (I think there's even a book on it). And I think accomplishments are totally personal. One person's accomplishment may be huge, like curing cancer or something, and another's is not having a drink, one day at a time. Money is only one measure, and not everyone buys into that measure anyway. I know when I had my baby, I felt like I'd achieved my primary purpose in life. (But as I'm not dead yet, who knows what I may yet achieve?!)

I am successful by most standards.\nMy mother had little phrases on the fridge that I live by now, at 52.\n"A little shot is just a big shot that kept shooting"\n"Never ever ever ever give up."\n"Most people avoid opportunity because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work."\n\nTo be successful, you have to be lucky.\nTo increase your chances of luck, work harder.\nEveryone wants to be a successful singer, athlete, artist, etc.\nI am a chemical engineer that has worked very hard all my life.\nNow, I have millions and very successful kids, wife and a great lifestyle.\nThere is no guarantee for success. But almost all successful people work hard.\n\nBest wishes.

30 isn't any different than 20 other than you are 10 years smarter,and age is what you make it. You are as young as you feel so make it count everyday.

Tomorrow just believe you will wake up with an "Age Lift"  It is all what you make out of it.. a lot of people say they didn't really start living until they were in their sixties with newfound wisdom & freedom ... don't compare yourself to people in their teens, twenties, thirties, forties etc.. of course you will feel old if you are 30 comparing yourself to a 10 year old!

No, not at all. I am 39 and I hv changed career thrice and all the time with grand success. It is all on a person's judiciousness about time and money management.

It's all part of life. your 20.. Be yourself, or you will be miserable for the next 60 years.

You will never be rich enough by your standards, and always chasing that dream, but by the opinion of others, you will be doing very well for yourself.

One great way to have success now and in future pursuits is to draw on the past.\n\nWe all know that life is mainly about experience and having gone through and experienced something once means that we are much more likely next time to do the thing better, and of course there is the added advantage that it will be a familiar process.\n\nIf you want to undergo some change or develop a new skill, then whilst you haven't developed that skill before, you have developed other skills and can draw on these.\n\nWhether it was learning to swim or learning to ride a bike, there will be something like this that you have learnt in the past that at the time may have seemed very hard or even impossible.\n\nTherefore draw on your successes on those occasions to give you the confidence that you can achieve success again in achieving your latest goal or target.

I'm afraid I'll be no help, I'm 33 but in my head I'm still 20!\n\nCoping with life and the situations we find ourselves in will never suddenly 'Happen' We are all a product of our upbringing and experiences. As you go through life you will have many different experiences, some good, some bad. From each one you will learn a little, grow a little and be that much more stronger and able to cope with the big wide world. It's a gradual process which never ends, that's the beauty of the world - there will always be something new to do, always someone new to meet and always something to surprise you. Independance is just another word for confidence. This will build as you experience new things and achieve new things.\n\nThe good will balance out the bad - if you let it! Never dwell on negative things or they will be all you can think of. Keep your mind and heart open while keeping your feet firmly on the ground and you can't go wrong.\n\nLife is like any other good journey - It's the ride, not the destination, that holds the magic.

Maybe if you are lucky.  I believe it is the Law of diminishing returns that will not let you do the same and get the same...in business or life.

All that occurs in our life is only for getting the good results at the end in our life. so dont be tensed, its time for you to learn from this small result and get the big result at the next time. Every tides as the ups and downs.Now it seems to be down. That means your going to get ups in your life next time. So dont get dissapointed. work hard."What you think as, as you will be", so always think positive. You think like this, "I will always win .I always be happy and dont get tensed". Then you dont get bad results. I wish you for the further success in your life.

Sure!  I mean, why not?  If you feel that you've been sucessfull enough and 'completed' your other professional career then why not move on and accomplish even more?  \n\nIt's what makes humans humans.\n\nAlso, if you can give back to the younger generations, (IE: teaching) all the better!

If you get your success through hard work, ambition, accomplishments, education, and effort than yes. Otherwise, no.

As a 44 year old, I think that aging has its pros and cons.  You do feel like you want to do the things that you have always done, but the body protests too much.  Age catches up with your body and limits the things you can do.  All the old injuries you have, mistakes made in your youth (sex, drugs, alcohol) can have the consequences in your older years.  I know many who have lived the party life and are now in their mid-40's and have liver problems, cancer and Ere.t.le Difficulties.  On the good side, you have more money to enjoy life more, more opportunities due to your maturity, you can give more thought out answers to questions due to your past experiences as well as all the accumulated knowledge you have gained.  Young people set an age, arbitrarily, to be old and when they reach it, they feel that their life is half over.  Many feel they should be married, have a good job and be starting a family.  I think many get scared at that point and get depressed because they don't want to end up old(er) and alone.  You really have to look at your life and realize that 20 years old is in the past and to make the best of your life as it is now.  You can't go back!  You can accomplish many things in your middle years without many limitations.  They should write out a list of dreams and desires to fulfill and start checking them off their list...it can be a renewal of their lives and make them feel younger.

I used to think it would be nice to be famous, or remembered for something great. BUT, I am hoping my life will never be completed (as in; over) and if all things I do in this life are in my past- no need to dwell or remember them- its the future thats important. I would rather be thought of in the future, than remembered for my past.
