When I was 30, I was making a tenth of what I'm making now and in the middle of destroying my career by exposing faked data in the wonderful world of science. You think Google is bad? Try getting threatened by a prominent member of the National Academy of Science because you caught him red-handed. Needless to say, I was very successful at destroying my career. But much like the guy who got turned into a newt, I got better. You're going to live past 100 assuming you don't get hit by a truck or an asteroid, the game's barely started. Go do something amazing that no one else could have done, by hook or by crook, and whatever happened in the past will be forgotten overnight. But above all, don't be a victim. Even if you are a victim, don't be one.
