Life is like a journey, with ups and downs, sorrows, and joys.
When we are young, we are always busy with work, busy with family, busy with various problems in life, and rarely have time to enjoy life.
But when you retire, you have more time and space to pursue your dreams and enjoy life.
At this time of year, you will receive various invitations to birthday parties, full moon receptions, wedding receptions, etc.
However, we cannot easily accept all invitations. The principle of "rudeness, no alcohol, no drinking" must be kept in mind. It's not apathy, it's reality.
1.Failure to observe the three rites.
Etiquette 1: Don't follow everything.
There are always people in our lives who like to throw meaningless banquets just to show off their social skills and appearance.
These banquets are often meaningless and only exhausting and time-consuming.
Therefore, when you receive such an invitation, you should firmly decline it and not follow the etiquette of blindly pandering to others.
If you really can't say no, you can express your congratulations with the right gifts, but don't waste your time and money on this meaningless social interaction.
The second gift: do not follow distant relatives.
Among our relatives, there are always some distant relatives who rarely associate with us, but they think of us every time there is a happy event.
For the invitation of these relatives, you can decide whether to accept it or not based on your usual relationship and feelings.
If the relationship is more distant and there is no friendship, there is no need to be polite.
This does not mean that you should distance yourself from these relatives, but that you should maintain a reasonable, pragmatic attitude on matters of etiquette.
Being too eager to accept this gift will only increase your financial burden, and it will be difficult to maintain a long-term relationship.
Third gift: If you suddenly contact someone you haven't been in touch with in years, this is an appropriate but not casual gift.
You may suddenly receive an invitation to a banquet or wedding from a friend or classmate you haven't been in touch with for years.
This invitation should be carefully considered.
If you have not been in touch with this friend or classmate for many years and we do not have any friendship between us, then there is no need to be polite.
This doesn't mean you have to give up friendships and relationships, but it does mean that you need to be sensible and realistic when it comes to etiquette.
Being too eager to accept this gift will only increase your financial burden, and it will be difficult to maintain a long-term relationship.
2. 2.Don't drink alcohol.
First Alcohol: Do not drink unknown alcohol.
In our lives, there are people who always invite us out for a drink, but they have no real meaning or purpose.
These drinks are usually nameless drinks designed to kill time or show off your social skills.
We should categorically reject such a drink and not drink it for the sake of pleasing others.
If you really can't refuse, you can drink a few glasses to celebrate yourself, but be careful not to drink too much, which is harmful to your body and health.
Second wine: Do not drink the wine you drink.
There are always people in life who use various means to persuade us to drink or force us to drink.
We should categorically reject such a drink and not drink it for the sake of pleasing others.
Not only does drinking alcohol make you feel nauseous and drunk, but it also makes you more susceptible to triggering unnecessary fights.
Therefore, when it comes to drinking, you need to maintain a rational and calm attitude and not be influenced by others.
To sum up, "don't follow the three etiquettes, don't drink" is a reasonable and realistic attitude.
After retirement, we need to manage our time and money more carefully, and we need to avoid being swayed by meaningless socializing and drinking.
Only by maintaining a clear mind and a rational attitude can we better enjoy life and pursue our dreams.
