What do you wanna do with your life?
I wanna rock!
Ever feel like you might not be living up to your full potential or did you spend your academic career recieving similar remarks from your teachers? I know I did.
If you want that confirmed check out this gem of a website here, Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age. Here's what people accomplished at my current age:
- Mark Twain published his first short story, "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog."
- Danish novelist Hans Christian Andersen published his book of fairy tales.
- Nat Turner led a slave rebellion.
- U.S. mariner Moses Rogers made the first ocean steamboat voyage.
- Donald Trump persuaded bankers to lend him $80 million so he could buy the Commodore Hotel.
- Samuel Morse's assistant, Alfred Lewis Vail, devised Morse Code.
- Physicist Armand H. L. Fizeau measured the speed of light.
- Dr. Narinder Kapany invented fiber optics and designed a glass gastroscope which can be snaked down the throat for a detailed view of the stomach.
- Hank Williams overdosed on drugs and alcohol.
- Bill Gates was the first person ever to become a billionaire by age 30.
- Earl Vickers started the Dollar Project, in which dollar bills were rubber-stamped as being lost, with a reward offered for their safe return.
So how do you stack up? Could be seen as amazing or one more thing to get you down about your accomplishments to date.
Well that's it for now; I've got a lot of ground to make up to get some things accomplished and for some reason I don't think posting stuff on here will help.
