Don’t let any one rush you with their time lines

有的人21岁毕业，直到27岁才找到工作。
有的人25岁毕业，但马上就找到了工作。
有的人没有上过大学，却在18岁就找到了热爱的事业。
有的人毕业就找到了好工作，赚了很多钱，却讨厌他们的工作。
有的人选择间隔年，去寻找自我。
有的人在16岁就清楚自己要什么，却在26岁时改变了想法。
有的人有了孩子，却依然单身。
有的人结了婚，却不得不等8到10年才有 孩子。
有的人身处一段感情，爱的却是别人。
有的人明明彼此相爱，却不能在一起。

I’m sorry, Mr.Headmaster, let me tell you why that approach may fail you.

I know people who graduated at 21 and didn’t get a job until the were 27.

I know people who graduated at 25 and they found work immediately.

I know people who never went to university, but found what they love at 18.

I know people who found a job straight out of college making decent money, but they hate what they do.

I know people who took gap years and found their purpose.

I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, the change their mind at 26.

I know people who have children but are single, and I know people who are married but had to wait 8 to 10 years to have children.

I know people in relationships who love someone else.

I know people who love each other but aren’t together.

So my point is everything in life happens according to our time, our clock.

You may look at some of your friends and think that they’re ahead of you ,maybe some of them you feel are behind, but everything happens at their own pace.

They have their own time and clock and so do you.

Be patient.

At age 25, Mark Cuban was a bartender in Dallas.

It took till 32 for j.k.Rowling to be published for Harry Potter after being rejected by 12 publishers.

Ortega launched ZARA when he was 39.

Jack Ma started Alibaba when 35.

Morgan Freeman got his big break at 52.

Steve Carell only got his break after 40 years old.

Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34.

Getting you degree after 25 is still an achievement.

Not being married at 30 but sill happy is beautiful.

Starting a family after 35 is still possible and buying a house after 40 is still great.

Don’t let any one rush you with their time lines.

Because as Einstein Said, “Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that’s counted truly counts.

And this is the most important thing, I want you to be able to create meaningful, purposeful fulfilling lives for yourselves and learn how to use that to make an impact and a difference in the lives of others.

That will be true success.
