Fair enough. Then maybe start a school that works the way you want.

Raising children is the most important work that most of us will ever do. After even the most accomplished lives, children are, with rare exceptions, the only creations which remain. So if the world around you isn't working for your children, then change it.

This is my go-to video when I need inspiration. Really opened up my mind when I first watched it a couple of years ago.

Just watched this video, very inspiring indeed.

That's one hell of a story of hustle. What you've discovered, I think, is (paraphrasing Steve Jobs [1]) that the world around you was built by people just like you. You've seen behind the curtain, and there's no wizard, only some dude who's no smarter than you are figuring it out as he goes along. Kudos to you for discovering this at such a young age, I didn't get it 'till my twenties.

My advice to you: put the last section of your article out of your mind. You've achieved some pretty amazing things, focus on that, and keep shipping. Comparing yourself to others is a path to insanity, there will always be someone who has accomplished more, done it faster, made it look easier, etc. And one more thing-- you're never too young to do anything, but keep in mind that with age comes experience. There are people out there (like the ones you mentioned), who have been where you are before, have faced similar challenges, and overcome them. No matter how early you start, you'll always have more experience the older you get, so continue to seek out the advice and mentorship of those who have walked the path before you.

I would watch and draw inspiration from Steve Job's 'Vision of the world': http://youtu.be/UvEiSa6_EPA

'Everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own thing that other people can use'

and 'What would you do if you weren't afraid'

Life is too short to do what you say. I want just to start. I can't wait anymore. I'm already 25. I'll die soon.

When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you're life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.

That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.
