I agree on all points except for your note on higher education. There are definitely successful entrepreneurial types who did not go to college. It is definitely not the ‘norm’, but there are certain types of people to whom the ‘must go to college’ rule does not apply.

I think the key is that these are generalities- what works for some may not work for others. There are cases of people w/out college educations who do well, but it’s not the norm and is certainly not a recipes for success. As far as kids go, I think the emphasis is not age, but where you are at in life that matters.

@poozer – So…does that mean you LIKE The Secret or you DON’T like the Secret. Or are you just being mysterious?

He did say “before you’re ready” in the kids paragraph. I think this is more important than the actual age you have your kids. If at 21, you’ve got a well-established career, enough income to handle the extra costs, and enough security to know that you’ll be able to do so for the next 18 years, then by all means have kids. But if you’re fresh out of college and handing out flyers on the street, having a kid will likely have bad results (both for you and your spouse as well as the kid), regardless of how much you want a little bundle of joy.
