Here's a lovely little site that will tell you what other people accomplished at your age. For example, at the age of 35 (my age), Robert Louis Stevenson wrote The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; somebody else invented the contact lens; and Evelyn Ashford won her last Olympic gold medal.
And say, at twenty, Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice, Bill Gates dropped out of college to co-found Microsoft, and Alexander Graham Bell taught a dog to say "How are you, Grandmama?"
Sure puts it all in perspective. I guess.
