The ancients said: "Learning is important to be a professional, and not to be a virtuous person."
It is not difficult for a person to focus on doing one thing, and it is not difficult to focus on a period of time. What is difficult is to do everything in life seriously and carefully.
When people reach middle age, their bodies and energy begin to decline, wandering between work and life, carrying heavy pressure, if they want to "break through", they must make themselves more and more "focus" and concentrate on doing something.
This means that higher requirements are put forward for one's physical strength, intelligence and ability, but as long as you "end up" it, life will be a brand new world.
01
people reach middle age, focus on their careers and settle down.
People who reach middle age are all pillars of the family. The most important meaning of work to a person is to support their family.
But people are not machines. Although they choose to "force to settle down" in order to keep the cold, when the workplace environment is so bad that a person can't breathe, many people start to settle between "staying on" and "breaking through by themselves".
After all, the pursuit of ideals will prompt some middle-aged people to stick to what they love in their hearts and firmly do their own careers.
During the reign of Emperor Ningzong of Song Dynasty, painter Liang Kai was given a gold belt, which was the highest honor as a court painter and also symbolized achievement and status.
But he was tired of being " Attendant ", and according to the emperor's instructions, he drew some designated works. One day, he hung a golden belt on the wall of the painting academy and left, and since then he was called "Liang Madman".
makes such a "normal" move because Liang Kai began to be obsessed with his "reducing pen" painting creation.
Unlike painters who liked to paint with silk paper at that time, he liked the moist nature of raw Xuan . He splashed ink on rice paper with just a few strokes, purely using the thickness, light, dry and wet changes of the ink color to express the characters, giving people a sense of natural interest.
He drew a " Ink Splash Immortal Picture ": The immortal in the painting is a drunk fat monk with a wide forehead and compact facial features, and his eyes are confused by the drunkenness. The picture has no background, and the blank space in the blockbuster gives people more imagination space, becoming the beginning of ink painting .
Thousands of years later, Liang Kai's paintings are still sought after, and his reputation has never faded in the long river of history.
Although you and I, as workers, will never be famous and married all my life, I will focus on doing my own career and dare to make a breakthrough. Even if I start with nothing, as long as the direction is correct, as long as I am willing to work hard, as long as I never give up, I can always break out of my own world.
With this "small career", you will have full confidence to settle down.
02
people reach middle age, focusing on learning and self-cultivation.
In the impetuous world, it is most difficult for people to calm down and do things wholeheartedly.
Once you do this, those you want and desire will meet you unexpectedly and bring you infinitely close to the purity and tranquility of your heart.
In this era called "information explosion", many people have joined the Internet and want to find a way to make a living.
writing copywriting, shooting videos, editing videos, and behind the seemingly simple things, all are the accumulation and preparation of knowledge.
has never had a "fire" copy that can be achieved overnight, but only the accumulated persistence.
When a middle-aged man starts to look like a primary school student, regain books and become a "good student", even though there is noisy outside the window and even if the days are still in a state of turmoil, the light in his heart is ignited again and life has a new future.
Learning technology, even if you just learn to steam buns and make steamed buns with noodles, you will greatly increase your confidence because you master the ratio and have a good appearance and taste of buns.
not to mention other more complex technologies.
Those "one skill" that can make oneself stand out and are irreplaceable are often a skill acquired after immersive learning.
During the long learning process, you not only need to fully master each knowledge point, but also read a lot of books and broaden your horizons; thus, let yourself dialogue with the sages and philosophers and compete with the elites of the industry, just like cultivating a pearl, gradually shining in the painful tempering.
A middle-aged man can still endure the hardships of learning, so he gradually develops a mind and demeanor that is beyond the world, and is invincible.
03
people reach middle age, focus on the present and make appropriate choices.
Yesterday has passed, tomorrow has not arrived yet. Only the present is a down-to-earth existence.
Every day is the most important day when people reach middle age.
Think of what you are going to do, and do it immediately. For example, when exercising, don’t wait for the wind to stop, the rain to stop, and the sun is not so hot. Choose a relatively relaxed time and run first, until you sweat profusely and experience the long-lost relaxation and pleasure. It’s great.
Therefore, focusing on the present means being an absolute "actionist".
What you have at hand, distinguish the priorities and complete it step by step.
In the workplace, even if some jobs are "forced" by young leaders or others, instead of breaking up and fighting for the better, it is better to treat them as an opportunity to learn and exercise, and give the other party a "slap" in the face with beautiful performances again and again.
In life, welcoming and sending off, human feelings, and housework. If you don’t take it with your normal heart, you will inevitably feel dissatisfied and full of contradictions. When a person is accustomed to focusing on the present, he will feel grateful, be grateful for everything he has, cherish what he should cherish, and give up what he has to do and cannot seek.
Maybe, life is still so dull, and worries and troubles still come from time to time, but this is our life.

People reach middle age, learn to be a "focused" person.
Focus on your career and study, focus on living every minute of the moment, the more you calm down, the more you can find a different world in your ordinary life.
Gradually, we live as unique selves and become the quiet but sure person among the crowd.
