I am 35 and I have not achieved much in life. Is it too late?

For certain achievements, yes, it is too late.  Your chances of becoming an Olympic basketball player, a popular child actor, and a contortionist are nearly nonexistent.  Your chances of creating a new branch of mathematics, seeing your great-great-great-grandchildren get married, win the World Sudoku Championship, play in the Super Bowl, learn 50 languages, or have a birthday party with 30 friends of the same age at Chuck E. Cheese's is greatly diminished.

But there are plenty of fine achievements you can still do.  You have plenty of time to become a millionaire.  You're still able to win a Nobel Prize.  It's not too late to watch every single James Bond film, or become a world-class painter, or walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.
