Dickens wrote in A Tale of Two Cities: "This is the best of times, this is the worst of times; this is the age of wisdom, this is the age of stupidity." ”
No matter when, happiness and unhappiness will quietly come to us. If we do well and be prepared, happiness will come unexpectedly; if we do not do well, if we are not prepared, I believe that we will be deeply in pain.
Do you feel anything about the situation now and in the future?
Anyone who is in business, or who often travels back and forth in the commercial stock market, understands that crises are inevitable and that opportunities exist.
That is to say, there are many risks today, and there will be more risks in the future. However, how to avoid risks, and even turn "risks" into "opportunities", that is the embodiment of our wisdom.
Especially for the post-60s and post-70s who are about to retire, how to live in the next few years and how to live in the next decade is a question that you and I need to think about after all.
The so-called "rich people think about the coming year, poor people think about the present." ”
The biggest gap between the rich and the poor is that the rich know how to think about the future, while the poor only stick to the present. As a result, it can only be that the poor are getting more and more unlucky.
For the post-60s and post-70s who are about to grow old, we should make these preparations in the next few years.

Preparation 1: Wait and see what happens, and make a fortune in a muffled voice.
Today's world environment is actually not very good, unemployment, bankruptcy, wage reduction... However, none of this is something we can change.
All we can do is to clarify our positioning, see the gap between reality, and then accept this cruel reality. You know, people can't change reality, they can only accept reality.
For rich people, it is normal to find opportunities in the "crisis". Because they have capital, connections, ability, and can afford to lose.
For ordinary people, they simply cannot withstand any blows. Because they have no capital, no resources, no connections, it is difficult to make a comeback.
At this time, the best thing for ordinary people to do is to wait and see how it changes, and then silently develop themselves and make a fortune in a muffled voice.
When we have the opportunity, we have to seize it. When we don't have a chance, we must not take risks. You must know that seeking development in stability is the basic requirement of all sentient beings.

Preparation two: Polish your eyes, not leeks.
I once met a boss who once said to me: "The essence of any business is to cut leeks." ”
Cutting leeks is the habit of businessmen with capital. The person who cut the leeks may have been sold and helped others count the money. Because they don't know they're "leeks" at all.
There is a saying that "only because I am in this mountain." ”
Most people think that they will not be leeks, but in the end they have become a stepping stone for others to ascend to the throne. Don't say what you gained, you may not get anything.
In the case of "doing projects", some people believe in the people around them and relatives, thinking that the projects they advocate are good projects. But in fact, some projects are scaremongering, and making quick money is the truth behind it.
When people are old, they must not be fooled by anyone. You know, the money is in your own hands, that's the key. And the money is not in your own hands, that is the beginning of all tragedies.

Preparation three: do not overdraft, save your life.
There is a post-70s in the unit, who left before the age of 48, leaving only two children and a wife who could not make money, and the whole family fell into poverty and misery.
In this matter, in fact, it is not only the person who left who has left, but also the wife and children who are still alive.
Whether it is a man or a woman, at a certain age, if you don't fight so hard, don't fight so hard. You know, the body is the big problem, and health is the cost of continuous development.
It would be a particularly foolish act to overdraw your life to work. You overdraft your health every day to go to work, and then earn a few thousand yuan a month, and in the end, you may not even be able to afford medical expenses.
Especially in this era when everything is soaring and wages are not rising, the body is much more important than money. To have a good body is to save money. And without a good body, the family will return overnight to the pre-liberation period.
After the 70s of Ben Five, we must gradually pay attention to health. After the 60s of Ben Liu, it is necessary to take good health. Saving one's life is the right way.

Preparation Four: Light a lamp for your "heart."
In the future, the rainstorm plummets, you must know how to give yourself an umbrella; in the future, when winter is coming, you must know how to add clothes to yourself; in the future, when night falls, you must know how to light a "lamp" on your heart.
Everything needs to rely on yourself. And relying on their own premise, you still need to light a lamp for yourself. This lamp, like the light of a long night, is enough to illuminate the entire night sky.
Why do we talk about mentality?
Unfortunately, many people have lost confidence in the future and feel that the cold night will come to us. But no one knows when these crises will occur.
We only know that living well in the present, giving ourselves some hope, and reducing unnecessary self-internal friction is the beginning of living more and more happily.
The future is not as good as imagined, but at least not as bad as imagined. After all, good and unhappy coexist. It's just that people with a good attitude can touch the beautiful infinitely and stay away from the darkness indefinitely.
