Get Inspired By History

Jane_Austen_1870.jpgThis world is filled with incredible people and incredible actions. A website, called "Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age," allows you to input your age and out pops a list of people and the incredible achievements they had accomplished by that age.

Here is a sampling for age 20.

  • English novelist Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, which was immediately successful.

  • Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and cofounded Microsoft.

  • Charles Lindbergh learned to fly.

  • Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice, her second and most famous novel (dang that early huh?)

  • The Greek philosopher Plato became a disciple of Socrates.

Check it out. Get inspired. We are all capable of incredible things in our own lives.
