This scares me so much. I'm 28 and I'm upset that I haven't done anything notable yet. I just haven't found my magnum opus yet, and I don't know how to.

- blakestein 12y agoI'm 28 and I was relieved to read that things may be at their best at ages 40-60. I haven't done anything notable but I'm still learning every day so maybe it will click eventually. At the same time I'm trying to save like I might be unemployable in my 40s.

Most people do their best work in their 50s. Even though poetry and mathematics are skewed younger than most disciplines; in those, people tend to peak in the 40s.
- idibidiart 12y agodoing notable stuff is not as fulfilling as it may sound ... I have a brother who made tens of millions doing notable (not noble) stuff in business but has otherwise become an empty shell of his former self ... finding inner peace is so much more relevant ...
