The attitudes that are starting to come out through some posters is "don't do anything hard unless you know for a fact that you're going to get tonnes of recognition and accolades from everyone around you. Self-satisfaction means eff-all. Everyone has to like you and worship you for anything you do, else its not worth doing."

That's just the point. If you're doing it for yourself, you don't need to be the youngest person to do it. That's just glory-seeking. You should be able to get enough self-satisfaction at doing it at, say 21, rather than doing it early and putting yourself in a situation that you aren't prepared for.
