Life is like the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each with its own scenery, each with its own wonderful. And middle age, like an autumn afternoon, the sun is warm, but with a hint of coolness. At this time, we are no longer as enthusiastic as when we were young, no longer easily moved, and no longer easy to give.
Put away the generosity towards everyone.
When we are young, we like to make friends, we like to drink and talk, and we like to solve problems for others. At that time, generosity was enthusiasm and pride, and it was the heroism of the world. But in middle age, we have to understand that not everyone deserves our generosity. Some people are just friends of wine and meat, some people are just friends of interests, and some people just fancy our resources and capabilities.
The existence of these people may make us happy for a while, but in the long run, they will only consume our energy and harm our interests. So, for these people, we need to put away our generosity and generosity, and learn to discern and choose.
Put away the over-generosity of the work.
Work is a part of life, but it's not the whole story. When we are young, we can sacrifice everything for the sake of our careers, including our health, family, and friends. At that time, generosity was hard work and struggle, and the determination to fight for ideals. But in middle age, we need to understand that health is just as important as family.
If we continue to dedicate ourselves to our work as we have in the past, we may end up with nothing to gain or even lose what is most valuable. Therefore, for work, we must be moderately dedicated, not only to pursue career success, but also to take care of our own body and family.
Put away the over-generosity of time.
Time is like flowing water, gone forever. When we are young, we feel that time flies slowly and that there is always not enough. So we spend a lot of time chasing dreams, experiencing life, and trying all kinds of new things. The generosity of that time was a squandering and waste of time. But in middle age, we have to understand that time is running out. We have to cherish every day, every hour, and even every minute. We need to use this time to realize our dreams, to spend time with our families, and to enjoy life. Therefore, for time, we must learn to cherish and make use of it.
When you are middle-aged, please put away your generosity.
It's not about being stingy or selfish, it's about being more sensible and mature about yourself and the world around you. Life is like a marathon, we have been running at an accelerated pace in the first half of the race, and in the second half of the race, we need to slow down, adjust our breathing, and maintain our strength in order to complete the race better. So, when you reach middle age, please put away your generosity, not to stop moving forward, but to move forward better.
Finally, I would like to say that there are no ifs and restarts in life. The past has passed, the future has not yet come, and all we can grasp is the present.
So, from now on, let's put away the unnecessary generosity and waste and spend our energy and time where it's really worth it. Only in this way can we live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
