Hunan TV's documentary cultural character inheritance program "Our Master" was recently aired, and its fourth installment was hosted by veteran teacher Ni Ping.
Ms. Ni Ping said in the program: I set a goal for myself, a 60-year-old to start over. We have to praise her for her striving spirit.
For many people, the age of 60 is a time of peace and happiness, and most people think that there is no need to continue to struggle. But this is not the case for Ni Ping, at 60 years old, Ni Ping can still be confidently glowing, can still come from the beginning.
Ms. Ni Ping decided to change herself from three aspects, one is to learn to refuse, for do not want to go to the meal to learn to say no, can not fulfill the other people and condescend to their own, to put the time on meaningful things. The second is to learn to love themselves, to the age of old age, also learn to be selfish, love yourself. The third is to look forward to some miracles in the future. She said, people's life is to constantly challenge their own limits, do not try a hand, you never know you will be so strong.
Ms. Ni Ping, at an age when she should be enjoying her life, is still working so hard to challenge herself, and is fearless in her old age.
Only by breaking the status quo in life, only by stepping out of your comfort zone, can you see the best version of yourself.

Last year, I reached the age of retirement, despite previous preparations, but the moment I received the notice of the unit, my heart is still mixed. 36 years of time, the entire youthful years have been dedicated here. From the youthful beauty to the frost stained temples, all the hardships, frustrations, efforts, merits and demerits are at this moment to press the pause button.
People's lives are inertia, when accustomed to the daily trajectory of the early morning work, the evening return to the arena, once the pendulum has stopped to bring people are at a loss, at a loss, no target assessment, no time constraints, do not have to take into account the leadership of the colleagues' attitudes, and consequently a large amount of disposable time, there is no regular work and rest, there is no direction of the anxiety.
More than thirty years in the organization under the supervision of the work life, can leave this constraint in your heart is empty, contradictory, abandoned, the feeling of being left out jumped to the heart, the whole person is depressed, decadent.
In the busy work, often hanging on the lips is "when I retire, backpack, travel the four seas, to see the magnificent beauty of the motherland", so in the company of loved ones, the first time to take the plane to the southern tip of the motherland - Hainan!
This is the first time I've been to Hainan.
Hainan is really beautiful, moist air, swaying coconut groves, soft sandy beaches, sunshine under the colorful sea water, which is all so intoxicating.
But I was born with a home-loving plot, Hainan scenery and then good, no hometown of the yellow earth stood solid; Hainan flavor of the Mandarin, although good to hear, but there is no homeland cordial; delicious food and then more, but can not eat the taste of home. "People say that the sunset is the end of the world, look at the end of the world not see home." It seems I can't be a member of the "migratory bird" crowd after all, and can't leave the home where I was born and raised.
Each stage of life has its own characteristics, we should be good at finding the breakthrough gap from this different, to achieve a new leap, to achieve the desired height of life.

From Hainan back, life is back to the beginning, depression is still the same, upset as usual. I tried to participate in collective activities, playing a little mahjong, dancing, practicing tai chi. But I was born to love quiet, coupled with so many years living in a rigorous, discreet environment, the heart of a variety of discomfort, feeling that this is not the life I want. Although the age of retirement, but the heart is not old, but also want to do some of the things that can be done.
By chance, a friend learned about my situation, and their unit needed a person responsible for logistics. After careful consideration, I retired from the body and "on the job", to realize the "re-employment".
The life after the post is comfortable and happy. Because of this job and my previous work is related to the nature of the work, so the work of fast, can quickly enter the role, coupled with the enthusiasm of colleagues to help, I joined this new team, no sense of incompatibility, happy to become a member of the big family. I keep a small account, run the unit, reception counseling, will not ask, learning, the former "I" and resurrection.
The heart has a running start, the spirit is also good, and the depression is gone. The more anxiety is replaced by the desire for knowledge, the thirst for new skills. But I understand that all of this should be considered in the long run, not overnight, overnight, I will do my best to enrich myself in the case of their own physical allowances, the old comrades also need to enter the new era, synchronized with the community, and the times *** growth, so as not to be abandoned by society, in order to make up for the generation gap with their children, in order to live the second half of the life.
People regardless of age, as long as there is an ageless heart, life will certainly be dark and bright.

Usually I often pay attention to some WeChat public number, from which I saw a lot of love for writing people from the small white growth for the master of the story, for a child interested in writing, and many years engaged in the work of the public document for me, and the writing of a natural sense of intimacy. However, the heart is also timid, because in my impression, writing is a noble enjoyment, is straight to the heart of the conversation. The age disadvantage, the difference of occupation, the perseverance of the contest these are my worries.
I've been wasting my time for so long that I can only strive for the future. So after understanding what I need in my heart, I no longer hesitate to participate in the self-media writing training, and became the oldest member of the collective, after the 60's grandma and after the 90's little girl became classmates, this age difference makes me see a few generations of people **** the same obsession, that is, the love of writing.
Regardless of the outcome, but with my pen to write my heart, adhere to is the winner of life.
In the past, I often saw people practicing yoga on TV, and I was envious of the stretching postures and upright forms. Coincidentally, a good friend who has been practicing yoga for many years opened a new yoga studio, encouraged by family and friends, and once again caught up with the fashion to enroll in a yoga class, get up at 5:30 a.m. every day to go to class, an hour of practice, release the body and mind, the whole body is comfortable, a move of stretching on their own is a limit of the challenge. Soon I fell in love with this kind of exercise that makes my mind calm and reduces stress.
Now I practice yoga in the morning, go to work on weekdays, listen to writing classes after work, and write a few articles to my heart's content. I'm tired and happy, tired and fulfilled.
Retirement is not the end of a lifetime of work, but the beginning of a new job, a new way of life.

My classmate Ping retired last year, and her life is even more exciting. She practiced Tai Chi and learned to sing in the morning, watched her grandchildren at noon, and played table tennis and practiced yoga in the afternoon. Her full and happy life makes her young and energetic. Recently, she was even hired as a yoga instructor.
Therefore, the life after retirement should be lived into their own hearts, we can do the previous want to do no time to do, want to do not dare to do, want to do can not adhere to the things heart to do down, so that is the life of the complete.
But, also to do to the extent that, Zhang Chi have degrees, can not exceed the body's ability to bear, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution.
"Do not say Mulberry evening, for the Xia is still full of sky". These two popular poems of the Tang Dynasty poet Qi Yuxi show an open-minded, optimistic and positive attitude towards life, which is worth learning.
Retired people have experienced the glory and shame of the world, and have a deep understanding of society; witnessed the foolishness of all beings, good and evil, and have a more sober taste of life.
Therefore, we can not be a retirement, out of touch with society, and can not force themselves to engage in excessive labor, but should be retired and not to rest, the ability to do, Zhang Zhiwei degree.
? "A person's life should be spent in this way: when you recall the past, will not be wasted years and regret, but also will not be ashamed of doing nothing; at the time of death, he will be able to say: my whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the world's most magnificent cause - for the liberation of mankind and the struggle for the liberation of mankind." Although we can not do Ostrovsky in "how steel is made" said so noble, holy, but we have been working hard, has been struggling, then we are worthy of this precious life.
Retirement life can still be glorious, can still start from scratch, no matter when you are not afraid of change, and do not forget the beginning, learn to love yourself, learn to constantly try to challenge themselves, breakthroughs, so that life will be wonderful.
