In the course of life's development, the age of fifty is often considered to be the pinnacle of enjoying the fruits of hard work.
After years of struggle, the financial situation has become rich, and the children have gradually become adults. Married life gradually stabilized.
Even if you are still struggling in the workplace, you may gradually turn to a more relaxed second-tier position, and your life will enter a state of drifting away.
The desire to live to the per capita level of life for the rest of their lives is a dream for many.
However, some people may quickly feel the weight of time after entering their 50s, and even have an abnormal end of life.
Wise people are more inclined to pay more attention to health in the second half of their lives, adopt a "give-and-take" lifestyle, and pursue a freer and broader life.
Give up fame and stick to the belief in a low-key life.
There are always those who like to seek rewards and enjoy the rewards that come with merit.
As the saying goes: "If you become famous, you will forget all the favors and humiliations; He has made great achievements and has a lifetime of glory. ”
At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, more than 30 meritorious courtiers were awarded gold medals for avoiding death.
followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, experienced the test of life and death, and finally ushered in a happy moment. Even if some mistakes are made later, the ratio of merit and demerit is enough to save life. This is the common wish of all heroes.
Zhu Liangzu, originally a general of the Yuan Dynasty, later surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, participated in the early battles of the Ming Dynasty such as Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, etc., pacified the Liangguang region, and was known as the "Founding Auxiliary Movement Tui Cheng Xuanli Military Minister".
When he first entered the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Liangzu happily went to Guangdong to serve as an official with the gold medal for avoiding death.
He thought that he had become a prince, and the local ** should obey his command.
Once, a local tyrant who committed a heinous crime was arrested by the county governor of Panyu. The local tyrant offered a bounty to bribe Zhu Liangzu, hoping that he could use his power to save people.
Zhu Liangzu sent his men to rush into the cell, destroy the torture equipment, beat Daotong, and finally successfully rescued the local tyrant from prison.
Daotong recounted the incident in detail and reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Liangzu was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he took a preemptive approach, which led to Daotong's final beheading.
Paper can't hold the fire", Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he learned the truth, and personally whipped Zhu Liangzu with an iron whip, and everything came to an end.
When he was dying, Zhu Liangzu didn't realize that there was a description hidden behind the gold medal for avoiding death - unless it involves rebellion and unforgivable, other crimes can be commuted to one death, and children and grandchildren can be commuted to two deaths to repay his merits.
A person who is too conceited of his merits is actually "retrograde", which makes his superiors tremble and will inevitably invite trouble.
Others prove your merits only to confirm your "yesterday", not today or tomorrow.
Only by giving up credit and being an ordinary person can we avoid potential disasters. After all, no matter how prominent the credit is, it is only a drop in the ocean compared to the long river of history. By giving up merit, one can retreat from a high place, return to the ordinary, and enjoy the rest of one's life in peace.
Abandon pursuits, no longer indulge in meaningless desires.
Greed hurts"This ancient truth is timeless.
Desire for management, desire for money, impulse to shop, desire to share, physical needs, emotional desires, etc., once they flood into life, can make people impulsive and pursue unrealistic goals.
At the age of fifty, there's nothing wrong with pursuing a late bloomer, but you can't overdo it"Exactly"。After all, time waits for no one, and we must accept reality in order to move forward.
In the last years of the Three Kingdoms, the Western Jin Dynasty gradually expanded its power and showed its intention to annex Eastern Wu.
Lu Kang, the general of Eastern Wu, successfully stopped the expansion of the Western Jin Dynasty with the help of the Yangtze River natural insurance.
Yang Yu, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty, built a city in the Jingzhou area and established friendly relations with the people of Wu. In war, the strategy of saluting first and then soldiering is adopted; After the war, he also took the initiative to return the prisoners.
Once, when his subordinates caught two children, Yang Yu immediately sent someone to send them back to Wu. Wu Guoren is grateful.
Many people of Wu began to be obsessed with the benefits given by Yang Yu, and Lu Kang also lamented that Yang Yu was a person with feelings: "Yang Yu is touching with virtue, and Le Yi and Zhuge Kongming are also beyond reach." ”
Gradually, the people of Wu respected Yang Yu"Sheep male"。
However, history proves that in the end, Yang Yu was victorious, and the state of Wu was annexed by the Western Jin Dynasty.
Alas, the defeat of the state of Wu was only due to greed for some"Small favors", and even forgot - greedy for small and cheap and big losses.
After all, a person's life depends on himself. How much ability and wealth you have, you will have too many high-level lives, and don't pursue things that don't belong to you.
Sushu Yun: "Greed eventually brings disaster. ”
Many people do not live in poverty in the second half of their lives, but on the contrary, because they are rich, but because of their lack of greed, they are barren in their hearts, and they repeatedly toss themselves in exchange for wealth and superfluous emotions. 
In life, giving up is a sign of reason.
When we voluntarily give up wealth, status, feelings, and reputation, does it lead to losses? Actually, the opposite is undoubted.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a ** named Zhang Han, although he had entered the court as an official, he quickly submitted his resignation.
He expressed: "When the autumn wind rises, the leaves flutter; The water of the Wujiang River, the perch is plump. ”
This shows that he misses the sea bass soup in his hometown.
Soon after Zhang Han resigned, the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" broke out, and the Western Jin Dynasty fell into a state of fragmentation, and many ** were implicated and their families were tortured.
However, Zhang Han chose to retire and live a quiet and peaceful life.
There are also many stories in history of "the thoughts of the perch".
Zhang Han conveyed to the world through his actions: "It is better to be famous for future generations than to have a drink immediately." ”
Instead of being on top, it is better to drink in the countryside and write poems to entertain yourself.
Life is like this, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain.
Isn't it the true meaning of struggle that we strive for a peaceful life in the future? 
Saving life is not only about physical health, but also about protecting the soul, making the heart relaxed and happy, and making life more relaxed and comfortable.
Standing in the middle of our 50-year-old life, we should wake up, make wise choices, and no longer rush to the torrent as we did in the first half of our lives. Sometimes a brave retreat from a rapids may be the wisest decision.
The ancients said: "The grass is still green, and the yellow flowers are like scattered gold dust." ”
The weeds have been full of life for a long time, and they will inevitably wither; **If you look down, it's just a withered yellow flower.
Fate has always been firmly in your hands, don't be bound by desire, and don't be confused by fame.
If you let go, you may lose everything, but you may also gain everything. Life is like this, how can you have more if you are not reluctant.
