“We started off as friends. Then one night we stayed up until 5 AM watching episodes of the Cosby Show spinoff where Denise goes to college. And we started joking about ‘Netflix and chill.’ And I was like, ‘So what kind of Netflix and chill’ are we having tonight?’ And she was like ‘I don’t know.’ Then I was like, ‘Want to make out?’”

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job. At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school. At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter. At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker. At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.

Never tell yourself you missed your chance.

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.

You can do it. Whatever it is.

Tucked away on an island in the Indian Ocean is one of the most alien landscapes on Earth: Socotra Island, one of the four islands that comprise the country of Yemen.

Although it is small, measuring only 132 km in length and 49.7 km in width, Socotra is a treasure trove of unusual things. The island, which is separated from the nearest land mass by 240 km and has been geographically separated from the rest of Africa for over six million years, is legendary for its unique flora and fauna: about one third of the endemic plants on this island are found nowhere else in the world.

Although the island was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and despite the extremely small size of the island, approximately 40,000 people currently live there, in a city built directly into the mountainside.
