- <p>Early success is commonly interpreted as evidence of superior talent, while late bloomers are</p> <p>often regarded as less capable. In this paper, we present a unified phenomenological model of</p> <p>social success that demonstrates the opposite: early success can structurally undermine long-</p> <p>term career stability, whereas late bloomers may succeed precisely because of their initially</p> <p>unfavorable position. Using a dynamical success index, we derive explicit conditions under</p> <p>which early success leads to career collapse and late bloomers eventually dominate. The results</p> <p>provide a mathematical foundation for the Early Success Trap and the Late Bloomer Advantage,</p> <p>with implications for education systems, talent evaluation, and career design.</p>
