Still living with your parents at 30, get a life

BEFORE he turned 30, Nelson Mandela had married his first wife Evelyn, had two children, became the first national Secretary of the ANC youth league and was a force to be reckoned with in anti-colonial politics. Celebrated revolutionary Fidel Castro who many regard as one of the few who boldly showed the American government the middle finger and got away with it turned 30 in 1956. By then, he already had a wife, had opened a law firm, led a revolution and unsuccessfully ran for congress among other reasons we will always remember him for. At 30, Steve Jobs, the man who changed how we view gadgets, had made  the world’s  renowned brand Apple, featured on the front page of time magazine and became a global celebrity.  But this is not about men whose pictures we use as screen savers or wallpapers on our phones or tablets; it is about where they were at the age 30.
