In the second half of life, the enemy is only himself.

Author | Jiang Feng

Gao said in an interview: In the second half of life, the enemy is only himself.

As the saying goes, "forty is not confusing" and "fifty knows destiny".

Life expectancy is calculated by average life expectancy, and after entering the year of "no doubt", it is regarded as entering the second half of life.

By this time, if I am not too confused, I have basically read all the books about Qian Fan and learned about the world.

Life, only to find out in the end, in fact, we are all fighting ourselves in the end.

For the rest of your life, you are competing with your health.

Schopenhauer said: "The biggest mistake that human beings can make is to exchange health for other things outside."

I'm impressed.

Life is not afraid of failure, but it is impossible.

When it comes to health, people always like to compare the body to "1", while comparing wealth, reputation, status and so on to "0". 0' is meaningful only after' 1'.

Speaking of health, I think of Academician Zhong Nanshan.

In 2003, 66-year-old Academician Zhong led the medical staff to fight against SARS and defeated the epidemic that almost swept the world. 17 years later, in 2020, 83-year-old Zhong Nanshan went into battle again, fighting in the forefront of the fight against COVID-19, becoming the most admired hardcore male god in China.

Zhong Nanshan in front of the camera is full of energy and passion. He speaks clearly and logically, and looks as if he is only in his sixties. His good health benefits from his persistent exercise for decades.

It is precisely because Academician Zhong Nanshan has a healthy body that he can lead us in the war of resistance against COVID-19.

Most people who died in COVID-19 were middle-aged and elderly people with basic diseases. In the face of fierce and cunning virus, in the absence of specific drugs, overcoming the virus depends entirely on self-immunity, and those who can carry it through are people with good physical fitness.

Faced with this disaster, many people realize that health is the best life-saving medicine.

Health can save your life at a critical time!

But how many people really realize the importance of health? "The body is the capital of revolution", which is almost known to all women and children, but most of the time, it is just talk.

As the saying goes, it is easier said than done.

There is a question on the Internet: When can I learn to cherish health?

One answer is very heartfelt: after losing it.

In the second half of life, for ordinary people, if they are healthy, they will not be dragged down by expensive medical expenses, and they can even continue to contribute to their families and accumulate more wealth.

Being healthy for the rest of your life is the greatest responsibility and happiness for yourself and your family!

In the second half of your life, you are competing with your own mentality.

Su Shi has a poem:

"Don't listen to the leaves in the forest, why don't you sing slowly. Bamboo poles and sandals are more dexterous than riding horses. What's to be afraid of? A raincoat and hemp fiber, despite the wind and rain, still live my life. The coolness of spring breeze awakens my wine, and the cold begins to be cold, and the peak of the sun is the sun, but it is satisfied in time. Looking back at the place where I met the wind and rain, go back. For me, there is no wind and rain, but it is still sunny. "

This poem is about a state of mind.

Su Shi, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, was imprisoned for more than 100 days for Wutai poetry case. He survived in prison and was humiliated. After the Wutai Poetry Case, Su Shi began to reflect on himself, thus reaching a higher realm of life.

"Mist and rain are coming, and the wind fills the building" is a portrayal of Su Shi's attitude towards life all his life. He was constantly hit politically and degraded again and again. In his later years, he was banished to the wild land of Hainan Island, and he was able to write such a pure sentence as "Who adorns the sea of clouds, the sea and the sky are the same color".

Su Shi is old and strong. Although he was in adversity and suffered many setbacks, he was never afraid or depressed. Mentally, he is always so calm, calm and philosophical.

Everyone will experience dark moments in his life. The more difficult it is, the more you have to have a good attitude.

In the second half of life, we find that people are young and energetic in the first half of life and live in a good mood. The second half is old-fashioned, and the mentality is alive. From beginning to end, I have been fighting myself.

The older you get, the higher the sinking cost of life, and many things can't be put together. The more you can't afford it, the more you should underestimate the gains and losses, and the more you should let go.

Confucius said in the "Three Commandments of Gentlemen": "Its sex is extremely strong, its sex is full of blood, and its sex is fighting; When you are old, your blood is weak, just quit ",which means: quit fighting in your prime; Abstain from greed in old age.

This sentence also tells us that in the second half of life, we will not compare, show off or be greedy.

A person's life is nothing more than the confrontation between inner desire and personal ability, and the final reconciliation between secular values and self-exploration.

For the rest of your life, you are competing with your habits.

When people reach middle age, many people feel that their lives are over half, their careers have reached the ceiling, and they have no intention of starting a business. I feel that the so-called self-motivation is only aimed at young people.

As a result, many middle-aged and elderly people are addicted to cups or mahjong tables all day, thinking that they can earn a day if they are alive.

In fact, in the second half of life, we should cultivate a good habit.

Persist in reading, exercise and study. If you can, travel and read everything.

Charlie. Munger is Warren Buffett's right-hand man and golden partner.

Munger, who is 96 years old this year, has always maintained good habits. Wherever you go, you should take a book with you. Whenever and wherever, he can quickly enter the reading state at any time.

So some people say Munger is a "two-legged book".

Munger said that in his life, all the wise men he knew kept reading-there was no wise man who didn't read. He said: "There are no smart people I know who don't study."

Buffett also said that over the years, reading has made me rich.

Li Xiaolai said in his speech: Reading is almost the only channel for his information input, publishing is filtered information, and all the people you meet in books are smart people. You can't meet so many smart people anywhere and in any way.

There is an old saying: it is never too old to learn. Life never starts too late.

It's never too late to form a good habit, but the best start is now!

Bacon said: "Thought determines behavior, behavior determines habit, habit determines character, and character determines fate". Good habits make a good life, and bad habits make a bad life.

Persisting in reading can change your temperament and appearance, and make you look more elegant, younger and more charming.

Sticking to exercise can make you refreshed, have a healthy body and a positive attitude.

If you persist in learning, you will not lag behind the times, and you will be able to become one with young people and stay young forever.

In the second half of life, the enemy is only himself.

"Starlight rewards those who are in a hurry, and time rewards those who help themselves."

Those who never live up to their efforts will be rewarded as long as they persist.

Insist on exercise, adjust mentality and cultivate good habits. May we all finally have a healthy, happy and happy life.

—— the end—
