'fifty'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fifty is like the midday of life.\u003cbr\u003e Confucius said that he understood the \"will of heaven\" at the age of fifty, but in modern society, where the average life expectancy has increased to 100 years, rather than understanding the will of heaven, it is more like a \"second twenty-five-year-old\" who is simply stepping into society anew.\u003cbr\u003e I can't help but ask a question here.\u003cbr\u003e How can we let go of the bad habits, perspectives, and thoughts we had in the morning and welcome the afternoon of our lives with wisdom and freshness?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Professor Lee Seo-won, who has counseled tens of thousands of people from all walks of life for 30 years, has a habit of collecting famous quotes and recording the insights he gains from them from his own perspective. \u003cbr\u003eHe believes that while there is certainly much to learn from the writings of ancient philosophers and saints, there are also life lessons to be found in the casual remarks of everyday people, such as the taxi driver he meets on his way to work or the neighbor he happens to share the elevator with.\u003cbr\u003e Regardless of the era in which we lived, the space in which we lived, or what we did, anyone who has achieved their own enlightenment can become a teacher in our lives.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that these habits of his came to light after he turned fifty.\u003cbr\u003e All of these insights, woven together from time to time, have helped me organize and define clear answers in the midst of the chaos of life, a time when we need to be wiser and more discerning than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn \"Fifty, I Decided to Live a Fun Life,\" he gave readers a lot of courage to face aging, and now, in this book, he goes even further and introduces 70 famous quotes that, if engraved like a motto, will eventually become a compass for the later years of life.\u003cbr\u003e We deeply understand the social and psychological confusion that everyone encounters at various points in life, and carefully selected sentences that fit each category.\u003cbr\u003e As you read and reflect on this book, which contains the author's unique insights that have comforted tens of thousands of clients over the years, you will find that any fear or sense of despair will melt away like snow, and you will be able to greet your fifties with a cheerful and energetic spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

the part that was still alive beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e It is a joyful task of the fifties to make the living part come alive more vividly and greatly than the dead.\u003cbr\u003e The secret to turning your fifties, which are like homework, into a celebration is to connect the fact that you too will die someday with the determination to live a more joyful and vibrant life.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But after hearing those words, my life changed. \u003cbr\u003eI muttered those words to myself before going to bed for ten days, and tears streamed down my face every time.\u003cbr\u003e that's right.\u003cbr\u003e That was all there was to it back then.\u003cbr\u003e It had to be that way back then.\u003cbr\u003e That was the best we could do back then.\u003cbr\u003e The first realization I experienced made something in my heart well up.\u003cbr\u003e The tears I shed then were tears of repentance for the times when I had been so cruel to myself.\u003cbr\u003e Looking back, it was others who were 'a little' harsh to me, but it was me who was 'really' harsh.\u003cbr\u003e I sincerely apologized to myself with tears in my eyes for enduring such a bad thing.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Such happiness was unique and peculiar to that time, and was not the kind that could be postponed.\u003cbr\u003e There must be a reason why the saying, “You should travel when your heart is pounding, but not when your legs are shaking” came to be.\u003cbr\u003e At some point, my brother put down the happiness of being a speaker.\u003cbr\u003e And now, I am enjoying another happiness as a gallery director. \u003cbr\u003eThere is no happiness that is postponed in our lives.\u003cbr\u003e If this happiness will never come again, you must enjoy it now.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wisdom does not come out of my mouth and go into other people's ears, but comes out of my ears and goes out of my mouth.\u003cbr\u003e The world is full of people who teach others with their mouths.\u003cbr\u003e He who teaches himself by ear is as precious as a flood without water to drink.\u003cbr\u003e Fifty is the time to stop teaching others with your mouth and start teaching yourself with your ears.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The woman and I, worried about the rest of our lives, looked at each other in silence.\u003cbr\u003e We concluded that what we need to do as we get older is to practice playing well on our own.\u003cbr\u003e As a bonus, I also shared the story that even when everyone else leaves, I am the one who will not leave.\u003cbr\u003e Turn your eyes from outward to inward and build a strong and friendly relationship with yourself, your lifelong friend.\u003cbr\u003e Find out how to have fun playing alone. \u003cbr\u003eIt is an insurance policy for youth that creates a life in which you want to die less.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As you enter your fifties, your perspective on the world changes.\u003cbr\u003e If you used to try to change the world, at fifty you will realize that the world is not moving at all.\u003cbr\u003e Instead of changing the world, I try to change myself.\u003cbr\u003e Then, strangely, the world that had been unmoving at all changes its appearance slightly to help me.\u003cbr\u003e I conform to the world, and it seems like the world thinks I'm special and gives me gifts.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, what determines a foolish person from a wise one is not innate intelligence or social ability, but rather one's attitude toward oneself. \u003cbr\u003eA fool is someone who thinks, 'I know myself and the people around me best,' and a wise person is someone who thinks, 'I only know a little about myself and the people around me.'\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.238-239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Silence meets silence, and after getting to know each other for a long time, they carefully express their understanding of each other in words.\u003cbr\u003e Silence and expression, in turn, become conduits for deepening understanding of one another.\u003cbr\u003e First, you must remain silent and look and listen carefully to understand what is really there.\u003cbr\u003e Only after you know what is, can you express it.\u003cbr\u003e The words that come out then are deep, clear, and powerful and enter the hearts of the listeners.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---
