For Sports Success: Unfortunately, Yes.

Most people retire by the time they are 33 and had their greatest success around 24 years old.

For Musical Success: Not necessarily.

Most famous musicians do start very young, so if you are not already a famous musician you may find it tough. But there are far more ways to become a musical genius, such as Broadway, being a songwriter, or developing music scores and more, all of which can still lead to a musical success.

For Business Success: Not at all.

While there are the young successful CEOs, most successful CEOs work their way up into the field. They are often not as popular, making their success behind-the-scenes instead, but definitely are still wealthy and successful in their field.

For Celebrity Success: Not at all.

Plenty of movie stars come into the limelight much later in life, fall out of the limelight over and over again, or simply chose a new direction that gets them their initial success.

For Artist Success: Not at all.

Similar to the Musical Success, most artists do start young, but it is more open than music, with many artists not reaching true fame until their later years or until they passed away.
