But it's for every writer to decide his own pace, and the pace varies with the writer and the work.
All children have gifts, some open them at different times.
Some kids grasp a subject faster and race ahead to the next level, while others continue to struggle with the first. The great thing we've seen is that if you let a student take his time to master a concept, he will probably race ahead on the next one.
To put it mildly, I was just a very late bloomer.
Always praise your kid even if he/she is unresponsive to learning. By insulting them and putting them down, you will only push them away and make them feel inadequate around other kids. Have faith that your child's brain is an evolving planet that rotates at its own speed. It will naturally be attracted to or repel certain subjects. Be patient. Just as there are ugly ducklings that turn into swans, there are rebellious kids that turn into serious innovators and hardcore intellectuals.
I just want ambitious teenagers to know it is totally fine to be quite, observant kids. Besides being a delight to your parents, you will find you have plenty of time later to catch up.
Run your own race. Who cares what others are doing? The only question that matters is 'Am I progressing?'
All of us have an 'inner clock,' a certain pace at which we function most comfortably and effectively.
Kids don't shuffle along in unison on the road to maturity. They slouch toward adulthood at an uneven, highly individual pace.
This world would be a better place if people just realized that there's no written-in-stone set time to do anything. You could meet the love of your life at 18 or 48. You could become an amazing mom and be in the right head for that incredible journey at 24 or 42.
I have a lot to show as an actor, and I will take my own sweet time for that.
People learn at the rate they are going to learn.
I don't care if you are religious or not and I think the message is that at the end of the day, everybody has to mature and everybody has to heal and mend their own injuries, emotional injuries, on their own pace.
Everybody develops at different rates.
Everyone grows at their own pace, and you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone.
There are people who are uncanny, who are finished products at a young age. I wasn't, thank God.
I read so slow. If I have a script, I'm going to read it five times slower than any other actor, but I'll be able to tell you everything in it. It kills me that there are standardized tests geared towards just one kind of child.
But each country has to advance and move at its own speed.
Everyone's got their own velocity, and there's no real time frame with comedy.
