What? Am I a failure…?

Having just clocked in with another birthday, I was amused and just a little frightened at this infographic. I have absolutely no idea about the accuracy of these charts (how would you go about plotting these things out, I wonder…?) however here is what I take away from it, as it applies to me at my current age:

  • could I be a failure?  Well, apparently I’m getting up there…
  • could I be awesome? Not yet, but much hope for me in the next 25 years
  • could I be high? Apparently not.
  • could I be a loser? Good chance.. wait a minute, is that the same as being a failure?
  • could I be important? Diminishing daily… if I can get to be 100 things will turn around!
  • could I be an entrepreneur?  Falling off quickly…
  • could I be depressed?  Every chance of that, it seems.
  • could I be misunderstood? Apparently, not much chance of that.
  • could I be a liar? Yes. No wait, no. What was the question again?
  • could I have all the answers? Come back when I’m 100 and I’ll tell you.

Ok, now that I’ve interpreted these results for myself, you go ahead and give it a try.

"For my part – and most seem to agree – I found the workshop immensely illuminating; your ability to extrapolate examples of scenarios where a PAVF mix in OUR setting was uncanny and crucial really. As it was said ‘all models are wrong – but some are useful’; is a truly sage viewpoint. It makes it possible to dig into the complexities of our professional behaviors and personalities for the real opportunities for growth (and not just company growth). Thanks again!" - P.N.
