late bloomer myself. went to university at 35 years for a degree in computer science. i wont forget one man who was supposed to be a friend telling me that programming is only for indians who do it when they r young. and that it was too late for me. I ignored him and went ahead. At university i was the oldest dude in my class competing with kids who just left high school. I worked hard and did well and got a first class degree. After university I went on to rack insane amounts of money from software dev projects. Now am 41 and a web consultant for a big corporation in london. I am also in the midst of opening a company in africa and life is good. dont despair

@silentlessons4221 3 года назад

@@jackmate4943 Its never late I tell you. I am living proof. Its only late if you give up and do nothing. But once u begin and start rolling its never late. Of cause u will always be conscious that u r probably the oldest in class etc but if u remain focused u will make it. With enough discipline u can even overtake most people who started way before u. I hv noticed that most people everywhere I go seem to lack self-discipline and without it its impossible to achieve much. Thats my strength and that got me through university. I had to make painful decisions like cutting night parties, women, etc & all those crazy habits. I knew I had had it all during the time I made poor decisions so when I started uni I had to ensure to cultivate new habits. Go for it brother and dont look back. Start now and u wont regret it. I went to university in wales, very beautiful place. Now I am also writing papers as I prepare to do my Phd in computer science. I am hoping to start maybe next year.

I am one of these "late bloomers" that Rich is talking about. I had a 2.1 GPA in HS. Was constantly told that college wasn't for me. I came back to school at 28, earned a 4.0 in community college, got into a Top 10 finance program, and will be starting work as an investment banking analyst at a major bulge bracket bank this summer.

I'm a late bloomer in life in general, but my most recent example is about cooking. Before the pandemic, despite being over thirty years old, and living alone for over a decade, my cooking skills were quite poor. Suddenly, i don't know how to explain it, but i had like a "click" in my mind, and recipes that usually ended in disaster started to get better and better, and know i find myself cooking things i never dreamed off. My friends and family completely freak out because they cannot understand how you can be so "bad" at something for a long time and suddenly become good (or even very good), but for me its normal because it happened in many aspects of my life.

To punish people for their entire lives because of their performance or decisions made when they were children is completely farcical, absurd, and tragic. I remember the amount of stress on me at that age to choose some hallway to die in, so hopeless, and on top of that trying to get through school as my family fell apart due to divorce. Obviously much clearer now, but still have trouble sometimes when I explore the What Ifs, because the way all this is setup is you pick your specialization ASAP, start the pressure on kids when they're 5 years old, what do you wanna be what do you wanna be // what college do you want to go to .... Not "do you want to go to college?" + "you realize we aren't rich so this will mean debt for you, and debt means limited choices" etc... if we can somehow fight against this tyrannical treatment of our youth, you got bad grades in high school so you belong in jail kinda situation ... and let people actually have time and support to experiment and learn and really just DEVELOP THEMSELVES.... we truly would be a great nation Thanks for your message.

I'm a late bloomer myself, inside and out. I was rarely suitable for sports due to not being tall and/or athletic enough. I didn't get into top colleges because I didn't excel in honors courses like my overachieving peers did. I bounced between different part-time jobs because I didn't pick any particular career path in my early 20's. I'm sometimes surprised that I'm still living despite coming up short many times in life, yet I have to grow up sometime. To all late bloomers and underdogs, stay alive and alert. Opportunities will come. Also, train and work out on occasion to make up for lost time that wasn't spent on athletics.

Imagine if this particular construct of time - as much of a colonial construct as race and gender - was abolished. Imagine if we aligned our framework of time not along Newtonian physics, as it currently is. But along quantum physics which debunks the linear time and the notion that we are linear beings. The quantum more world is more in alignment and with indigenous and ancient African cultures. Cultures whose time practices were non-linear, multidimensional and incorporated the science of timelessness. The western notion of time - now globalized - is the whip on the colonial clock designed to usher human beings towards death and not discovery.

I really don't appreciate the misrepresentation of ADHD. He makes it sound as though it is manufactured or exaggerated. Medical science has demonstrated there is a physical, neurological difference in the way the brain developed and functions in a person who has ADHD. Just like someone who is naturally shorter than average. Not every 'short' person is short enough for it to be problematic in the 'regular' world. But as they get further from the 'norm', the more disabling their height becomes in daily life. They are not defective. They are challenged by a world that is not built for them. They may need additional tools or assistance to accomplish tasks that are effortless for someone who is taller. Conversely, they might also be far better at some other tasks than people who are taller, but that often goes overlooked or is overshadowed by their challenges. Not everyone who has executive function issues faces enough challenges for it to be seriously problematic throughout their life. Those who have ADHD do. A disability is still real even if you can't see it.

I think the speaker was getting at how ADHD is over-diagnosed. Kids are naturally going to want to not focus and run around and be "hyperactive." The first method of determining ADHD people will do is to take a questionnaire. It's affordable and non-intrusive, but it's a really bad way of determining ADHD. Children are going to fit the framework of the questionnaire because, well, they're children (and the parents are likely the ones filling it out). The best and most accurate way of determining ADHD is through a brain scan. As it turns out, ADHD is closely linked to differently sized sections of the brain. 100% agree with you that ADHD =/= defective.

@@noahberndt5317 The science on the brain scans is iffy. It is not like getting an x-ray to see if a bone is broken. There are some indicators that can suggest ADHD, but it isn't robust enough for a clear diagnosis absent other metrics. An accurate diagnosis definitely requires more than a simple questionnaire though. It requires a comprehensive interview and testing by a specialist who actually knows how to differentiate between a whole host of neurological and psychological disorders and conditions. As for the "overdiagnosing" comment, what is that statement based on? That sounds like more of the same unfounded misinformation that gets bandied about regarding ADHD and a number of other neuro-developmental conditions. Significant numbers of people who have it don't get diagnosed until well into adulthood (if ever). I spent 4 decades believing I was lazy and a screw-up because it never occurred to anyone that I might have a neurological disorder. I was "too smart" for it to even be considered. Knowing now why my brain functions the way it does has had a massive impact on my quality of life and mental health. (edit to correct typo)

@@dragonabsurda when it comes to "overdiagnosing", i think he meant that a lot of people get diagnosed of ADHD when they actually were just a late bloomer. because, as with everything, its a spectrum, and they might have been placed in the lower end of this spectrum, but still enough for it to count as ADHD.

@dragonabsurda Год назад

@@allodet7087 Again, where is this assertion coming from? What actual data is it based on? Simply saying it doesn't make it so, which is the issue I have with his original comment. It discredits and undermines people with diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders. It delegitimizes them. It makes people feel justified in dismissing people's disabilities.

Same with writers, artists, entrepreneurs, etc etc. That’s why the best thing to do is don’t worry about it. Easier said than done, I know. There are people that have “made it” by society’s standards and are miserable, and there are people that nobody knows and they’re happy af. Arguably, anonymity has a greater deal of freedom and happiness attached to it. It’s just that our society would have us believe otherwise.

@Theosis78 4 года назад

Also a late bloomer here. I am now doing professionally what my greatest passion in my youth was. Unfortunately I left it after school to do something "serious"... . But now I feel like a teenager again, can't think of anything else and can hardly do anything else but work in this my favourite field. What´s YOUR "first love"?

@cabalenproductions6480 Год назад

True and also there are more late bloomers are more common in some industries like Biotech. The problem here is that Venture Capitalist only care about Early Bloomers like Mark Zuckerberg and the Meta Crew, Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey type people.

He was like speaking specifically for the American people. He start his talk with that and continues the same. I didn’t like that, as a writer it is better that he talk internationally, not just for a specific group of people.

@Patricia-vd9xh Год назад

Such a biased perspective while cherry picking data. His story of a woman pilot leaves out the fact that the best pilots have ADHD-type brains. So do emergency room personnel. Further, many famous late bloomers like Einstein are ADHD or have other learning disabilities. Thomas Edison was a late bloomer because public schools told his mother he would never be able to learn. The reason more ADHD diagnoses happen in America is because we are ahead of other nations in researching and addressing ADHD and other neuro-diversities. If the speaker wants to present on this topic, he should get his facts straight and avoid relying on personal biases.
