Last week, I was feeling a bit worried with how little I seem to have accomplished at 23.
Paul Simon was 23 when he wrote The Sound of Silence.
John Lennon was 27 when he wrote A Day in the Life.
George Harrison, at 25, composed While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and at 26, Something.
Citizen Kane? This classic was directed, written and produced by Orson Welles at 26.
Richard Branson founded Virgin at 20.
I'm not assuming with this list that I'm some sort of a genius, nor that I was born with a natural 'out of this world' talent that must (almost mandatorily) be rewarded, no.
Still, I thought it would be nice to know I have the chance or possibility to achieve some success, in spite of the fact that I'm almost half way through my 20s...
Long story short: In this two-episode essay, I found the little ego boost I was looking for.
