Middle age is a turning point in life. At this stage, you may already have a certain amount of wealth, status, and fame, or you may have become the breadwinner of a family, taking on the responsibilities of both the old and the young. However, you may also face a variety of crises and challenges.
If you have any of the following three behaviors, it is dangerous to account for two.
1. Wealthy consumption
When you reach middle age, you already have a heavy burden, and if you spend money without moderation, once accidents and risks come, it may crush your entire life.
If we overspend, regardless of our economic strength and income level, it will not only shrink our assets, but also inflate our desires, forming a vicious circle. In order to maintain such a high standard of living, they may not hesitate to borrow, speculate, gamble, etc., and eventually fall into the quagmire of debt and lose their credibility and dignity.
The ancients said: "The rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent." "Middle-aged people should have a mature and steady bearing, know how to live within their means, plan their financial situation reasonably, and don't sacrifice their future and happiness for the sake of temporary vanity and satisfaction.
2. Dinner-style socializing
Dinner will not expand your network, boldness cannot be exchanged for righteousness, and face cannot be exchanged for reality. Spending limited energy and financial resources on more worthwhile things is the real maturity of middle-aged people.
Dinner-style socialization refers to those socializing and socializing with eating, drinking, and having fun as the main content, such as inviting guests to eat, drinking, playing cards, karaoke, clubbing, etc. These socializations will not only consume your time and money, but also damage your body and health, affecting your work and family.
What's more, these social interactions are often based on superficial politeness and hypocrisy, without real friendship and trust, just an exchange of interests and mutual exploitation. You may offend some people, or be taken advantage of by some people, or get into some trouble, or even endanger your safety and life because of these social interactions.
The ancients said: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "Middle-aged people should have a wise and prudent attitude, know how to choose and refuse, arrange their social activities reasonably, and don't ignore their duties and responsibilities for the sake of temporary excitement and face.
3. Swing entrepreneurship
If you don't agree with each other, you will quit and start a business, in fact, it is no different from putting it on the. On the contrary, being stable at work and not starting a business easily is the most conscious of middle-aged people.
When we don't have adequate preparation and planning, no clear goals and directions, no enough funds and resources, no suitable team and partners, just relying on momentary impulses and fantasies, we easily give up our stable job to pursue an unrealistic entrepreneurial dream.
These ventures will not only make you lose your income and security, but also make you face countless difficulties and risks, such as market competition, customer demand, product quality, employee management, and so on. You may suffer significant losses because of these ventures, or fall into irreparable failure, or lose your confidence and courage.
The ancients said: "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles." "Middle-aged people should have a spirit of persistence and enterprising, know how to accumulate and innovate, reasonably evaluate their entrepreneurial conditions, and do not give up their existing advantages and opportunities for the sake of temporary dissatisfaction and impulsiveness.
