Mondo Social Updated on 2024-03-02

After the age of sixty, you are old. Leave the workplace, fade out of the circle, return to the family, and spend the rest of your life in peace.

Along the way, the hectic life has finally come to an end. In the days to come, it will be mainly "idle".

Life is only a few decades, it seems to be a long time, but in fact, a handful of sand, after the leakage, there is no more.

Writer Lin Qingxuan said: "Life is just like this, the pursuit of becoming a better, more spiritual and spiritual self." ”

People, if you are idle all the time, you will get sick when you are idle. It will also form a barrier between ** and society, and will eventually be eliminated by society.

If you want to live a decent life, you have to add value to yourself and continue to move to higher places. They seem to be old people of the same age, but they have different mental outlooks and different health conditions. Some people are in good spirits and spit fragrant mouths, and some people sigh and can't see the sun.

Only self-appreciation can continue to improve and not be forgotten by the times.

First, read books to increase wisdom.

Kou Zhun, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was upright and won unanimous praise from everyone.

There is a place ** Zhang Yong, who evaluates Kou Zhun and is a talent, but his academics are not high.

After coming and going, Zhang Yong's words reached Kou Zhun's ears. He didn't get angry, but made a special trip to visit.

Zhang Yong recommended a book - "The Biography of Huo Guang".

Kou Zhun returned home, opened the book, and found a sentence inside——However, the light does not learn the art of death, and it is darker than Dali

Changing the way to remind a person that it is really well-intentioned to learn. Those who accept criticism are also enlightened.

Later, Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou, in addition to dealing with government affairs, he was studying and meeting friends. In the midst of illness, he wrote a poem"The book only reads the medicine record, and the guest only treats the medical monk." ”

I have been studying all my life, and the ups and downs of life seem ordinary. Lost the location, but there is still a valuable family style.

When we are old, what we can leave to future generations is not money and houses, nor can we let future generations inherit their position. Only family style can be passed down from generation to generation.

Reading for the elderly is not only to enhance their own value, but also to drive the learning atmosphere of the whole family, and leave a good family style. At the same time, the old man will always make progress with the times, and he may be ahead of the times in terms of thinking, so as to put forward many valuable suggestions for the development of society.

Second, exercise to increase health.

The poet Yu Guangzhong said: "When I turned around, the wind blew my black hair, and when I looked back, it was snowy and white." ”

The years urge us to grow old, and we don't want to stop for a second. When we rested, the gray hair was still growing; When I woke up, the wrinkles were deep again.

Deep down, all people want to be "forever young". But how to do it? The only way to do this is to strengthen exercise, plan your day reasonably, and be self-disciplined.

Zeng Guofan, a minister in the late Qing Dynasty, was very interested in health preservation, he said"Walking is always diligent, the muscles and bones are always moving, and the words of servant labor are also." ”

When he was old, he also had the habit of washing his feet with warm water before going to bed and walking a thousand steps after eating.

According to your own physical condition, reasonable exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, you can achieve the effect of prolonging life.

The elderly are healthy, the children have less to worry about, and conversely, the elderly can help their children do a lot of things. The life is longer, and the pension is more, so it is comfortable to think about it.

Good habits allow the body to form a virtuous circle, stick to it, and benefit in many ways.

Third, do good deeds and increase the spirit.

Lu Xun famously said: "I just spend other people's coffee time at work." ”

There are only 24 hours a day, but some people can create more value, reflecting the cost and effect of time.

As an elderly person, you can't work around and go around, and you can't always hold your mobile phone to watch and cook at home. The key to adding value to time is to contribute to society.

Lao Zhang, who lives in the same neighborhood as me, often cleans the stairwells and helps repair flowers and plants after retiring. At the end of the school day, he would stand at the door and lead the children across the street.

After a long time, people in the community, when they encounter trouble, will go to Lao Zhang. During the festival, Lao Zhang was also invited to eat at home.

The neighbors who were originally strangers became familiar because of Lao Zhang.

The neighborhood committee specially made a plaque for Lao Zhang's family - a good person in the community, calling on everyone to learn from Lao Zhang.

When we can't walk anymore, we think back on our past, don't regret because we don't do anything, and don't feel ashamed of doing bad things, we really live up to our debts and treat our lives well.

Fourth, love your family and grow your feelings.

There is such a saying: "When people reach old age, the most expensive meal is called 'family happiness'." ”

The family sits around and eats happily, the children say they make money, the elderly talk about their health, and the children talk about reading, which reflects the pattern of several generations in the same house.

Of course, the main credit for a reunion dinner is the diligence and cooking skills of the elderly.

Young people are very busy, and they have to make time to cook for a large family, so they will be even busier. The old man takes the initiative to take on the task of cooking, and the young man will be very happy.

If the elderly can improve their cooking skills, it will be even better.

Many young people like to "go home often", not only about the elderly, but also about the food cooked by their parents. In the meal, there is the taste of mother, the love of father, and the taste of childhood, which is desirable.

Every festival, parents put bacon, bacon fish, and radish strips. It is a merit to give it to its children and bring it to a foreign land. This feeling has become an endless concern, which can be felt across time and space.

For hard-working people, age is a number, and youth is the eternal theme.

Don't think that after the age of sixty, with a pension and savings, and a cottage, you have completed all your mission. Before the day when the coffin is conclusive, the wind will not stop.

Whether it is interpersonal communication, family relationship, or relationship between people and society, there is a "value exchange". You are valuable, so your family loves you, others are willing to stand side by side with you, and society is willing to accept you.

You can retire, but don't fade.

You can be old, but don't sigh old.

May you and I, be idle people, and continue to climb high.
