What should I do if I am 38 years old and have accomplished nothing?

First of all, the mentality has changed and everything has changed. I remember reading such a story in a book, saying that in ancient times, there was a scholar who failed in the exam repeatedly, patched up in Beijing to catch the exam, stayed in an inn at night, and tossed and turned, worrying about the exam. Later, he dreamed that his beloved girl was sleeping with her back to herself, that she was holding an umbrella on a sunny day, and that she was planting cabbage on the wall of her room.

Anxious, he found a fortune teller and told him his dream. The fortune teller said, go home quickly. This exam is considered hopeless, because all the girls you love sleep with their backs to you, which means you have no chance to turn over. It is even more unnecessary to open an umbrella on a sunny day. Who have you seen growing vegetables on the wall? It is specified to be behind the list. It is better to go back now than to spend money and wait until then to leave sadly.

Jinshi felt somewhat reasonable and returned to the inn in frustration, ready to pack up and go home. At this time, he was seen by the boss of the inn. The boss asked him why he left, and Jinshi told the boss what had happened to him. The boss smiled and said to him, this is a good dream, you should stay for the exam, because the girl you love in the dream is sleeping with her back to you, which implies that you should turn over. The dream of holding an umbrella on a sunny day shows that you came prepared this time. Planting cabbage on the wall in your dream does not mean that you will be the top student in high school? Why did you give up this great opportunity?

So, Jinshi listened to the innkeeper and stayed. The next day, he happily went to Beijing to take the exam, and sure enough, he won the first prize.

This is a boring story, but it tells us a very interesting truth. Many times, our mentality is really important. If our hearts are dark, then we will look at everything with dim eyes. If we turn our heart to the sun, everything will be beautiful.

Looking at many big entrepreneurs in China, from the mad cow Li Shufu to the most handsome 80-year-old grandfather in Northeast China, from the head of Huawei to the indomitable Chu, from the entrepreneurial mentor Lei Jun to Warren Buffett, many people have accumulated tens of thousands of wealth in their forties. So some people say that a 40-year-old life is the real beginning of a career.
