When people reach middle age, "stinginess" is right

Life seems to be very long, very long, and we repeat our lives day by day, as if we can't see where the end is.

The Japanese poet Shuntaro Tanigawa said in "Alive":

"The so-called living now is the birds spreading their wings, the waves of the sea, the crawling of snails, the people in love, the warmth of your hands, and the life."

Or alive is good, even if people have reached middle age, they can still eat food and see beautiful scenery, who does not linger on this beautiful world?

But we understand better that life has gone through half the journey, and the rest of the journey must be "stingy" to live.

After all, if you live every day as if it were the most precious day, life will not be disappointed.

Be "stingy" to the body and learn to cherish it

I once read a saying: "Having health is not having everything, losing health will lose everything." ”

A healthy body is the premise of everyone's existence, without the body, no amount of fame, fortune, win or lose is meaningless.

I recently saw a video posted by a cardiovascular doctor.

Dr. Tang said bitterly that a 52-year-old colleague died of a sudden myocardial infarction at home, which made him feel that his life was fragile.

Dr. Tang analyzed the causes of death of his colleagues, one was that the work pressure was high and could not be relieved; the other was long-term smoking, at least two packs a day.

Dr. Tang suggested that when people reach middle age, they should know how to care for their bodies, smoke less, drink less, control their workload, and understand the indicators of their bodies in a timely manner.

Don't think that you are still young, you can still squander your body at will, and when you reach a certain age, you must learn to cherish yourself.

After the age of 35, the most feared thing is the physical examination, especially the physical examination report that is getting thicker and thicker every year.

Breast hyperplasia, thyroid nodules, blood sugar, blood lipids exceed the standard, do not know why, many indicators are not normal.

No longer dare to stay up late to brush the mobile phone, do not dare to eat barbecue in the middle of the night, turn off the lights at 10 o'clock every night to go to bed, get up at 7 o'clock in the morning and run.

Eat three meals a day, always keep a happy mood, the more stingy you are to the body, the more you can protect it.

Someone once suggested: "Sound your body and maintain a reasonable and regular life is the material basis for self-cultivation." ”

In order to slow down the rate of aging, we must put the body first and get more time of our own.

Be "stingy" about time and know how to cherish it

We always think that the longer we live, we will have more time to squander, but wasting time is tantamount to chronic suicide.

As the English novelist Maugham put it:

"Because time is fleeting and irretrievable, it is said to be the most precious treasure in the world, and abusing time is undoubtedly the most meaningless way for people to spend time." 」

Mo Yan was born in 1955, and now he is 67 years old, but he has never stopped working.

In the 2021 video, Mo Yan proudly said: "Over-complete the task." ”

After more than half a hundred years, Mo Yan's creative concept gradually matured, and his creative ideas became more open, especially the publication of the novel "Frog", which made his works more widely known.

A work, from conception to completion, Mo Yan never wastes time, but arranges the time of the day to the fullest.

There was an inspirational motto on the wall of Harvard University:

"Time will not wait for you, only those who cherish time can take the initiative."

Life is only a short period of 30,000 days, after walking through this half of life, no longer cherishing time is to fail life.

Do what you should do, pursue the life you want, and don't wait until time is running out to regret it.

We can't control the length of life, but we can cherish each day's own time.

Be "stingy" about money and know how to save

American writer Mark Twain said:

"If you know how to use it, money is a good slave; if you don't know how to use it, it becomes your master."

Maintaining material foundations such as eating and wearing is inseparable from money, and we are busy making money for a better life.

Hold your palms tighter and don't waste your hard-earned money, this is the awareness that middle-aged people should have.

An ordinary middle-aged couple, in their early forties, with a monthly salary of four or five thousand, and their children are about to enter junior high school.

The cost of living is basically controlled at about 2,000 yuan per month, meat only buys pork and chicken, and fruits only buy apples, bananas, oranges, which are common.

On the one hand, children will use money to go to high school and college in the future, on the other hand, the four elderly people are getting older, and there will be many places to spend money in the future.

In this way, I lived a life of frugality, I was eager to break a penny into two halves, and my life was plain and uneventful.

This is middle age, there are old and young, every day to open their eyes to spend money, have to save every penny.

The English dramatist Shakespeare said: "Money is a good soldier, and with it you can make people a hundred times more courageous." ”

Nowadays, it has become more difficult to make money, and after living for half a lifetime, we should all know this truth.

Every penny we work hard to earn, we must save and use, and have enough money in our hands to not panic or worry about the rest of our lives.

Be stingy about love and look forward to it for a long time

People are emotional animals, and we always want to find a happy love when we are young, and accompany each other until we are old.

However, after middle age, whether we can withstand the test of the outside world mainly depends on whether we are stingy with love.

Zhou Bingkun, the protagonist of the hit drama "The World of Man", after reaching middle age, his life was a little better, but he was looked at by Sun Xiaoning, the sister of the good brother.

But Zhou Bingkun did not become complacent, but directly rejected Sun Xiaoning and did not give the other party a chance to take advantage of it.

Zhou Bingkun said, "If your sister-in-law doesn't want me, I won't even have a place to cry." ”

A sentence shows that the position of his wife Zheng Juan in his heart is unshakable, and it also expresses his loyalty to the feelings of the husband and wife, and what is revealed in the words is the expectation of long-term marriage.

If you want to maintain a love and run a family well, you must be careful.

The Russian poetess Akhmatova wrote:

"You breathe the sun, I breathe the moon, but we grow in the same love."

Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son. This is the strongest commitment to each other, and it is also the incomparable romance of holding hands until old age.

Love is sacred, not only the feeling of life after half a journey of wind and rain, but also the emotion of a lifetime.
