Its funny that quarter-life means 25 years and mid-life 35 years. Its time to go back to maths
classes
Reply
Lorenzo says
A quarter of a century is 25 years.

General life expentancy is about 70 year, so 35 years mid-life crysis!
You are welcome!
Reply
Sara says
Lorenzo, in this century life expentancy is higher than 70!

And the women? Thanks for throwing two token women into the mix and pretending this article
doesnt have any bias! You couldnt think of ANY others?! Shame on you.

To take something like that as sexist, when you have no idea behind the thought process makes
you seem ridiculous.

Erin Anderson says
Instead of barking about it, take that same energy and use it to inform us
Shame on you

Emma SHAME ON YOU

Mark says
Emma, to add women just because they are women would be sexist. The author took
the best examples for their point, irrespective of sex, in an unbiased way, and created
this article.
You are sexist, and doing an injustice to women, by suggesting sex should play a roll in
who gets included.

What at ignorant idiot. If you want to see girly infographs, google the authors name, Shes got a
few directed to ladies.
Reply

Whats a girly infograph? Why do we need special things directed at us? I understood and
appreciated the graphics above and it didnt occur to me that there were no women there
because I thinking about success not gender.

I thought the articla was about age rather than sex. Not sure how the number of women in the
6/24

examples changes the authors arguments. Should the author also have considered, for instance,
how many of the people were minorities? Should the Indians and Chinese be upset that all the
examples are from the Western world?

XPLSV says
Given the ratio of women vs men in the fields of finance, tech, inventions, etc, the balance is right
in this article. Its not a fifty/fifty world out there you know.

JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter was a single MOM till 31.

Dear all,
Im looking for tech guys (app/web developers/designers) to join my venture, a specific social utility
app that the market could use. There is no get-rich scheme or pyramid selling involved. This is a app
based venture and if youre keen to learn more or be part of something that you can call your own,
send me an email to jennyngyuechin@gmail.com.
Cheers!

Hi there, i am looking fro entrepreneurs to work with, I you are willing to work hard, we have a team
that will back you.
But the catch is you have to work hard with corporates. There is NO get-rich-scheme here or pyramid
selling, But good old honest solutions for brands.
We judge our success by happiness not money. We strongly believe that Money is the by product of
our passion. we already have a existing business working with some global brands and are willing to
work with people who have the drive.
So if you are ready to work your ass off and then send me a email on zhegde at aol (copy & paste my
name)
Cheers
Zach

As Anna put it, You are never too old

A nice idea. I have tried many things that have never succeeded. I am 43 years old, been out of work
almost seven years. I have tried to launch several businesses, anything from the multimillion-dollar
range to a YouTube show that cost me almost nothing to start. I have never been able to secure the
financing to make these businesses work. Even the YouTube show needs marketing money, which I
could never get. Ive written and published a book on Kindle Publishing, Ive tried to start a food truck
business, Ive tried a few careers. Nothing has worked. Everything requires money or connections or
an unbelievable edge that gets you close to someone important to back your idea. I had the idea to
launch an Internet-based record company, selling music online, before Napster, before iTunes, before
anyone was doing it. If I could have gotten the money or the idea to the right person, Id be a billionaire.
It never happened. Ideas and persistence arent everything.
Sam Walton got the money to start his first business, a 5 & 10 cent store, from his father-in-law.
Donald Trump inherited over $40 million in real estate from his father in his late 20s. Ted Turner
inherited $27 million in real estate from his father in his mid 20s. Bill Gates father was a wealthy and
prominent lawyer, so the lifestyle he needed to take the risks he took was there. No one was going to
let Bill be homeless. Most successful people had help. No one talks about this in these motivational
articles. Some people really do start from nothing, but getting past that point requires help. How did
J.K. Rowling get someone to read Harry Potter?
Anyway, if you believe in the idea that an entrepreneur can make it from nothing, then support an
entrepreneur. My show is at http://www.youtube.com/cookwithsnackmaster

Sir Richard Branson and Steve Jobs have highly inspired me. Even after being very successful in their
business both had to face challenges while being at the peak of their business. Branson had to sell
Virgin Records to fund Virgin Atlantica whereas Steve was fired from Apple after which he started Next
and Pixar and was very successful at that itself.
Thanks for the inspiration. Do check my website http:// tejaswikhanna.com

Sure, if youre 1 of the 30 people who think of something as game-changing as FaceBook or Twitter or
something (and much more importantly, if you know how to market it, know how not to get ripped off
etc etc) when youre 50 you will get rich
And some people win the lottery @ 65.
Doesnt mean theres a decent chance its gonna happen to you though.
