discuss Is Any Time The Right Time?

[Yama]

There is no bad time for learning if you want to learn you can start learning at any time. There is also no wrong time to start something. Socrates was trying to learn how to play a musical instrument as he waited death sentence. Likewise, Colonel Harland Sanders founded KFC at the age of 62.

Do you think this can be true for an average person?

It is never too late to start learning about something. I have seen so many successful individuals who have achieved their goals later in life and that further proved that age or circumstances don't have to be a barrier.

Take it or leave it. There is a time that you start learning something and it would be very difficult for you to scale through it. If you had learned it earlier or later, it wouldn't have been that difficult. I have two scenarios.

I was paid to teach a child of 6 years old piano. I started the training. The child picked up but the pace was slow because the child's cognitive abilities was no fully developed.

I also was contacted to teach a 32 year old family man piano. This man took four months to learn how to run scale. Something that takes three days for younger people that don't have family responsibilities. And till now, 13 months after, the man is still learning.

In these two scenarios, the two persons learned and are progressing albeit not at an ideal pace. There is a certain age and time they would have learnt piano and by three months, they would be playing as a one man band.

It has never been too late to learn or do anything. But things are just better to be done at the ideal time. Like I always say, they don't make nice shoes for old people, they practically have to wear nice shoes. I believe there is an ideal time for a person to chase and achieve a particular thing easily.

Did the 32-year-old man have other responsibilities, such as being the breadwinner? I feel as if you removed all responsibilities from his life and just let him pursue the piano, that he could've picked it up quicker. Perhaps not as quickly as the aforementioned 6-year-old, but quicker nonetheless.

The 32 year old man is the bread winner for his wife and two kids. My point is that if he had interest in playing piano, he should have learned it in his 20s before he got married. It is not easy starting to learn something when you have responsibilities.

That’s a thoughtful question! When it comes to starting something new, like a project, habit, or change “any time” can be right if you’re mentally ready and committed. Sometimes waiting for the “perfect” moment just delays progress. So, often, the best time is now or as soon as you feel motivated to begin.

Not every time is the right time but the “right” time is rarely perfect either. I’ve learned that waiting endlessly for ideal conditions can lead to missed opportunities. Sometimes, you grow into readiness by starting before you feel ready. The key is being intentional, not impulsive. Whether it's starting a project, healing, or taking a leap, timing matters but so does courage.
