The struggling people born in the 1980s are now approaching their forties. Normally, one’s 30s should be the prime of life, a time of strength and vigor, but living a stable life in a state-owned enterprise makes them feel that something is missing from their lives. Physically and mentally, I’m still fine at the moment, but I just don’t know where to channel my energy. After reading so many stories of inspiring success stories, where people worked hard for 3, 5, 8, or 10 years to achieve success, I feel like trying to follow in their footsteps, but I really don’t know what to do. Don’t talk about working hard at the workplace – if working hard there really yielded results, then there would be no need to say anything. Do you seafarers feel the same way? What are you all doing?
Well, let’s give it some support! Hope it succeeds!
At forty in nominal age, passing by this moment – only by daring to think can one have the chance to take action. Great!
Yes, there is. But it’s good to keep learning more in your free time*; after all, learning is endless
If we consider what achievements one should have by a certain age, I wouldn’t meet that standard either. I have some similar thoughts to the original poster; they could be considered ambitions, but due to the circumstances and my location, it’s difficult to make them a reality.
I completely agree. Either due to laziness or too many distractions, it’s always difficult to focus on doing things. I saw a nice quote in my social media feed today: When you’re busy working toward what you want, you have no time to worry about what you don’t want. Life is short; one should do what they love while still having the energy to do so.
Worried about things you don’t want? But sometimes I worry about what I might lose.
During my eight years in a private company, I always felt like I had anger to vent but no place to do so :@
I’ll know what to do once I quit my job. Do whatever you want to do, while you’re still young!
Well, a full stomach doesn’t understand the hunger of those who are hungry. Working in our four-shift system with two shifts per day for a month, one’s energy is probably exhausted by then.
