“45 to retire, are you ready?” 》Old Hei

While eating red bean ice, I read Lao Hei’s new work. Halfway through reading it, I think it is a book that is very suitable for my current state of mind.

Mercury Bear’s response to the title question is: Although I feel that I am not ready on the psychological level, I am already on the road to practice.

Sometimes all it takes is a few seconds of courage to choose our own path in life. Fear of making the wrong choice, but you may also miss the beauty that originally belonged to you. Some forks look scary, but when you step out, you realize that you are scaring yourself.

Life is not a mathematical model, and there is no standard operating manual. Therefore, there is no absolute answer, let alone any unchanging truth. Even if we have heard the truths passed down from previous experience countless times, and have learned many times that the results are not as expected, don’t we still make many mistakes?

Some people keep asking for advice simply because they don’t want to take responsibility for making the decision themselves. Whether the path you choose is correct or not, someone can walk with you for a while, but it is impossible to walk the whole journey for you, only you can deeply understand it. In this life, you must have the courage to choose several times. If you don’t even dare to bear your own life, can you still give happiness to others?

Ten years ago, someone asked Lao Hei if he would regret retiring early? He joked, “That was the wisest decision I have ever made in my life.” If you ask him the same question now, he suffered from glaucoma, depression and other diseases during retirement He will seriously answer “That is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life”, even if I start my life again, I will still make the same choice.

I hope that the Mercury Bear ten years from now will be as free and easy as him
