Taiwanese writer Li Ao once wrote a poem to describe middle age: "There is always middle age in life, and middle age is a kind of embarrassment. Just because you are no longer childlike, you belong to the same category as young people. Don't look back on the old days." The sun shines brightly, and the lingering dreams remain unbroken. ”
This poem is a little sad to read. It tells the mentality of a middle-aged man and accurately describes the mentality of a middle-aged man. When middle-aged people reach the age of 50 and have not achieved career success, many people will think that there may be no hope for them in this life.
In today's society, the pace of life changes rapidly. Many companies require employees to work 996 hours, which means they go to work at 9 a.m., get off work at 9 p.m., and only have one day off a week. Under such intensity of work , people who are fifty years old are obviously unable to adapt.
I have accomplished nothing at the age of 50 and cannot adapt to the fast pace of modern society. So, is there any way to give myself some hope for the rest of my life?

Having your retirement salary ready is the greatest dignity left for you in your later years
The material foundation determines the superstructure. If there is some material foundation, then even if nothing is accomplished, , life after the age of 50 can also be very nourishing.
A 50-year-old person must have a clear position on his or her financial situation. It does not mean that having more money will lead to a good old age, but that money must be used in a planned way.
If you did not have enough savings in the past, you can use part of it to make some savings or sound financial investments. In this way, even if you don't have to work, you can rely on passive income to obtain some basic guarantees in life.
Before retiring, you must plan the use of your retirement salary. If you have not paid in full social security, you should pay it in advance. This way you will have a stable source of income after retirement, and at least your life will be guaranteed. Yes.

Physical health is the most important thing, eat well, sleep well and maintain a happy mood
In today's society, the most expensive place is actually the hospital. Even if you have a lot of money at home, you can't stop a serious illness from coming, so good health is money, and good health is adding value to your wealth.
When a person reaches the age of fifty, he should eat three meals regularly, read more about health care, take care of his body, and have regular physical examinations. In this way, he is saving for his own health. As he gets older, his body will The healthier you are, the most valuable.
Mood also has an important impact on physical health. Maintaining an optimistic attitude is an important criterion for the quality of life.
If you are depressed because you do not have a successful career, then such depression will only be harmful to your health and quality of life.
Stay in a happy mood every day, do things that make you and your family happy, tell more jokes, and cherish the time you spend with your family. Such blessing cannot be measured by money. , maintaining a good mood and maintaining the relationship with your loved ones is the eternal retreat in this life!

Keep exercising to enhance body immunity and welcome the second spring in life
Wang Shi, founder of Vanke Group, wrote in his autobiography: " A person's fiftieth year is a new beginning. "Wang Shi also started the second spring of his life at the age of fifty.
Wang Shi did not miss anything in entrepreneurship, study tours, and sports. When he was fifty, Wang Shi started his second business, learned to kayak, and climbed Mount Everest with young people. ….
Whether it is physical fitness or energy, Wang Shi is not inferior to a young man in his twenties. Whether the body is healthy or not has nothing to do with career success. Whether you are willing to exercise or not is only related to your personal thoughts. Ordinary people can also exercise. As long as you want to start, I'm afraid you won't start.
Proper exercise can maintain the body’s basic metabolism and enhance body functions. You can look energetic even at the age of fifty! There are many ways to exercise, such as walking, square dancing, gymnastics, Tai Chi, etc.
Good health is the capital of revolution. It has nothing to do with whether the career is successful or not. Many people have a successful career, but if their health breaks down, their work is in vain. If they keep the green hills, they will not be afraid of running out of firewood. With strong energy, you can usher in the second bloom of life even at the age of 50. This is the biggest retreat left for yourself!
"What is approaching is the aging sun, what is approaching is the wine everywhere, but it is a pity that I can hardly get drunk." This poem also reveals the sadness of Li Ao in his later years, the more successful he is People, in their old age, become more and more desolate like a hero in his twilight years.
It can be seen that even successful people have obstacles that they cannot overcome at the age of 50. Therefore, it is not terrible to achieve nothing at the age of 50. What is terrible is the aging heart. What is terrible is that when you reach the age of 50, you will be discouraged, give up on yourself, and give up your own behavior.
At the age of 50, maintain a good attitude, be positive and optimistic, be less angry, do more happy things, be pleasant to others, avoid conflicts with others, ensure the most basic material basis of your life, and have With a good body, life is still wonderful.
