Race to Success

YOU ARE NOT OBLIGED TO BE COMPLETELY SUCCESSFUL BY THE TIME YOU ARE 25.
Let me say it again in a more detailed matter :
Life is not a race, and your success shouldn't be either. Growing up in fast paced city filled with numerous job opportunities, I've seen people rush to their career. For what? You graduated early, you bought a house at the age of 19 with a baby on the way. That's basically what "successful" is, right? Congradulations, you've won at life for being the biggest success at the youngest age possible. What about the rest of us? Are you telling me that if you don't have a stable job, a family, a dog, a cat, a house, by the time you're 29 or 30 that you're a failure?
I mean, you've got your entire life ahead of you. You cannot tell me we were made just to work a job that's kind of unfufilling and pay taxes for a house to live in for the rest of your life. Is that really living? Or is it just surviving? Sure, you can have the most luxurious house and the most expensive car, but that doesn't mean you NEED to get those right after you graduate college or university. Hell, some people don't even get post-secondary education, but that doesn't mean they're a failure.
"The economy is crashing!"
"Capitalism is taking over, we need to make money now!"
Of course, the economy has been a problem, what's new. I'm not saying that you shouldn't care about your financial problems and stability, but relax. While there are some people out there earning a billion dollars a week at the age of 21 and you're just sitting around eating ramen noodles, that doesn't make you any less than them. For all you know, they're a terrible person.
A lot of people my age (15-20) are so pressured to get into the best college or university get that docorate they've dreamed of getting, and as much as I encourage them to work towards what they want. I hope they know that even if you don't know what you want to major in by your 3rd year in post-secondary education, it's completely alright. There is a bunch of people just like you.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, though people becoming successful seem to be getting younger and younger, it doesn't mean that you don't have time. You have plently. Thinking about what you've already accomplished rather than thinking about what you're (supposedly) going to, will help your mental state and yourself overall. Competiting with other people and "racing" to see who will be successful first, almost has no point.
