“人在什么阶段，什么年龄就该做什么样的事”这句话似乎就贯穿在现实的社会。
你在与同龄人相比做到了哪个阶段？突然想努力了？
任何事情，什么时候开始都不晚，晚的是你从来都不敢开始！世上最浪费时间的两种行为一是思而不学，二是犹豫不决。所以心动不如行动。
推荐一篇很火的扎心演讲：别让任何人打乱你人生的节奏。
或许，看完这篇火爆油管，名为《在你感觉到压力之前》（“Before You Feel Pressure”）的演讲，你也会重新思考自己的人生：

你身边有些朋友或许遥遥领先于你，有些朋友也许落后于你，但凡事都有它自己的节奏。

“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that’s counted truly counts.”
并非所有重要的东西，都能计算得清楚。也并非每一件计算得清楚的东西，就都有意义。
