I’m 29 and here is what I read on today’s paper (The Globe and Mail):

Best age for ideas?

“Researchers investigation the achievements of thousands of innovators have established that 29 is the age at which you are most likely to have your first big, original ideas,” reports the Sunday Times of London. The age represents the optimum combination of education and energy levels required for great ideas to emerge, according to the study [by the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research]. The findings show that for an individual to dream up a new idea, they first have to assimilate far more information than previous generations in order to add to what is already known…. It is not just ideas in science and engineering that peak at 29, either. Artistic achievement also seems to flourish at the same age.”

Thank god, I still have few more months left 😉
