SELF IMPROVEMENT
Aging Is Not A Bad Thing
Nobody wants to be old, but it have some advantages and good things.
What have you learned with age?
I learned that patience is a virtue.
Age gives us experience and makes us understand that everything takes time, that’s what I call wisdom.
When I was younger, I was impatient, explosive, I wanted everything right now. Because of this, I missed many important things. For example, I didn’t want to continue my studies, I was in a hurry to earn money and be independent. After 30, I came to the conclusion that I should complete my studies, and that’s what I did.
I was also in a hurry to get married. At 20, I was already married. A big mistake. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized that I must first have my own house, which I built myself. Now yes, a stable life with a family.
At work it was the same, I wanted to earn more money right away. I worked really hard for it, but it didn’t always work out, so I changed jobs many times, always where I was paid more. Another mistake. Today I’m at the same job for a long time, and the reward came naturally.
Life has taught me that with calm and patience, everything can be achieved. But youth is just that, being rushed, wanting to have everything right away and being a little crazy. I don’t regret having lived intensely, having done a little bit of everything and having had a lot of fun. Now I’ll take it easy.
