Professor Zeng Shiqiang believes that people's lives in this life will be ever-changing. It is possible that the first half of life is toiled, and the second half of life suddenly becomes richer. All this is the result of human power and providence.
Why do we often say "thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi"?
It is possible that he was particularly wealthy in his early years, but declined after middle age. It is possible that he was particularly depressed in his early years, but after he became middle-aged, he gradually returned to the uphill road. All this is difficult to say.
In general, there are only three types of fate. The first fate is the fate of first bitterness and then sweetness; the second fate is the fate of first sweet and then bitter; and the third fate is the fate of always being poor.
In this regard, many people will wonder, why is there no fate of being rich all the time?
For there is no one in the world who has always been rich. Even if he has the ability, he can't be rich for a lifetime. Especially those who start from scratch, they must undergo a lot of hardships in the early years in order to become rich after the middle and late years.
Even if they are the second generation of the rich, they cannot be rich for a lifetime. At least, in this world, there are more rich second generations who can't keep their family business.
For ordinary people, after the age of 50, people who live more and more "rich and noble" are the following 4 types of people.
02
The first type of people: people who keep pace with the times and keep up with the times.
Generally after the age of 50, the vast majority of people will think that these people are old and more and more out of step with the times. At this time, the "middle-aged elimination theory" will appear.
In fact, the more middle-aged people are, the more they need to keep up with the development trend of the times. Years of experience with the vision of development, I believe that the career of middle-aged people will have a great breakthrough.
Some time ago, I met a peer, and to my surprise, he is already in his fifties, still leading young people to start a business and struggle together.
I was particularly puzzled, so I asked him: "There are many people of your age who have long thought about retirement, why do you still spend time, energy, and money to start a business?" ”
He smiled and said, "I want to be a retired person too." However, I have such a feeling, if I am idle, become lazy, and can't keep up with the times, then I feel that my life is particularly meaningless. On the contrary, after being exposed to new knowledge and information, I will feel that my middle-aged life can also be brilliant and brilliant. ”
In fact, people who can have a rich and noble life after the age of 50 must be strivers who can keep up with the times. Even if they may not be able to make a lot of money, their thoughts and spirits have long become particularly rich.
03
The second type of person: the person who is steady and progressive.
In this day and age, no matter who it is, it must be done with such a word, that is, "stability".
If you have money, then you can naturally do something adventurous. Because you can afford to lose. On the other hand, if you don't have any money, it is better for you to choose to live a safe and stable life. Because you can't afford to lose.
The stability and stability here is not to make people not do things, out of touch with the times, but to let people take less risks and don't always do things that seem to be able to "step up to the sky".
In the investment market, there is a saying that as much risk as you can withstand, then you can get as much return as possible. However, the two results of sudden wealth and loss will randomly fall on each investor.
It's better to take too much risk, and we're better off doing less.
You know, it's not easy to accumulate a deposit. Only by being cautious and steady can we have a stable and happy life.

The third category of people: people who live for themselves.
Mr. Yang Dai believes that we have been so looking forward to the recognition of the outside world, until we finally know that the world is our own and has nothing to do with others.
The essence of being a human being is to recognize the truth of "who to live for".
For ordinary people, if we always feel that we have to live for the eyes of others, to live for the ideas of others, I believe that we will live more and more humble.
Especially when we are young, we will pay special attention to other people's ideas, and always feel that pleasing others can win connections. As everyone knows, such a practice is still naïve and naïve after all.
Life is our own, and we live for ourselves. Instead of currying favor with those who have nothing to do with us, we should live well for ourselves.
Mr. Jin Yong believes that there is a big fuss and quietly leaves.
People, after all, need to make a big fuss for themselves. No matter what the final result is, as long as we try our best for life and live with a clear conscience, then we are happy people in life.
05
The fourth category of people: self-aware people.
Some philosophers believe that when human beings lose self-knowledge, then their lives will be absurd and sad.
If ordinary people want to get rich and become billionaires, it is an unrealistic fantasy; if ordinary people want to be in a high position, it is even more exaggerated.
Everything is not as simple as we think. How many connections we have, how many resources we have, and how many backgrounds we have determine how high we can go and what kind of life we have.
However, just to evaluate a person by wealth is still a little biased.
You know, ordinary people can also have a "rich and noble life". However, the rich and noble lives of ordinary people do not mean that they are rich and powerful, but that they will live a tasteful life after all.
What kind of people can live a tasteful life? That is the contented, self-aware person.
As big as the head, as big as the hat. How many resources, then how big things to do. Recognize our own positioning, then the second half of our lives, will be more simple and peaceful.
