21 and going bald

[Fixed by 35]

Times are changing. What you need to realise is that once upon a time you could be bald and great. Those days are over.

To have the opportunity of greatness, with the exception of sport, you have to pass the image test first. You can't be a world leader until you are elected; you have to pass the image test. You can't be a CEO until you climb the junior ranks; you have to pass the image test. You can't be a mature actor until you've played some minor roles; you need to pass the image test.

We live in an image obsessed culture. In the past things like intelligence and wisdom reigned supreme. Now, you need image as well.

There's no point trying to lead a full life when one third of what you need has been snatched away before you even cross the starting line.
