Innovating at 20s or by 30 happens, but rarely. I believe, we should at least start working at innovating something at this age.


Agree! In my opinion your 20's should be for studying and exploring things on a higher level (university, etc.), your 30's for starting building your "systems" and master something so that in your 40's you should be well equipped to do real innovation.

Of course, some people may be faster and some slower..


Jeff Bezos agrees with you.

Bill Gates, Larry Page, and Mark Zuckerberg do not.

Interestingly, of those, Bezos was the MBA manager, the rest were all programmers.


And of those who was a real inventor or innovator? I'm not talking about business innovation, but real and durable innovations.. After 100+ years of being invented, I still ride my bike every week, but I highly doubt that Amazon as shop, MSDOS, Google as search engine or Facebook will be used in 2200!


Great point, perhaps Elon Musk should chime in on this? #iwish
