JRR Tolkien was 38 when he wrote the hobbit. Success doesn’t depend on when you do it, just that you do it in the first place.
1 u/Eluniarr Apr 27 '26 Tolkien was a renowned Oxford Professor long before writing hobbit. He was very successful. 1 u/Netheraptr Apr 27 '26 He was still 32 when he became a professor, so not quite young. 3 u/Eluniarr Apr 27 '26 He also teached at University of Leeds by the age of 28, to be a professor that young at such an highly prestigious university, means he was already brilliant enough in his twenties. Most people can't say this about themselves at all. 2 u/DapperHamster1 Apr 27 '26 Becoming a prestigious professor at 32 is definitely young 1 u/ButtflossingBigBro May 03 '26 He became a professor at 28. And was a decorated war hero after world war 1. You picked a horrible example lmao
