Knowing your destiny means that this is basically your life. Money means money, no money means no money, and life is basically fixed.
If you are under 50 years old and don't admit defeat to your fate, you can make gestures and toss about. Maybe "Proposal" has some luck. If you reach the age of 50, no matter rich or poor, you will basically not eat.
After the age of 50, it is basically "everything is life, and all of them are people." Fully aware of this, if you are rich, you will be happy, if you are poor, you will be calm, accept the reality and let it be. Otherwise, it will only increase troubles and resentment and sadness in vain.
Many people in the world are old and lucky, but it is not common to talk about them. The so-called "good luck" is just that "opportunity" happens to meet "effort"
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I suddenly remembered a sentence: "There will be no light after the fifteenth day of the first month, and people will rest in middle age."
Before discussing this question, what is "fate"? We often ask others, do you believe in fate? Do people have life? The answer is yes. Life is life. It is the part of life that is not transferred by one's own will. Did you come to this world of your own free will? No, then why did you come to this world? This is destiny. Resignation is life. Therefore, life is immutable, and what can be changed is not life. What we usually call life is actually "luck", and the operation of life is fate. Life is innate and luck is acquired. So, luck can be changed. The Book of Changes says that "benefiting adults" is luck. If you are lucky, you will have someone to help you.
We once said, don't believe in fate, it's in your own hands. In fact, we don't accept the existence of fate, nor do we accept that people with different backgrounds and personalities can make a difference, that is to say, people can change their destiny by their own subjective efforts. It's luck to change, not life. So luck is linked with time and space, which is called fortune. A person's temporary misfortune may be that the time has not yet come. It will flourish then, which is called luck. Therefore, fate is an objective existence in life. Not fatalism. Fatalism is a concept that paralyzes people's minds in order to maintain the existing social order. Its purpose is to make people comfortable with the status quo and not to fight and resist for the unfairness and irrationality encountered in life.
China's traditional Confucian attitude towards fate is, don't blame others, don't treat people. Lotte knows life. In other words, people should not complain because their innate conditions are worse than others. Always keep an optimistic attitude and enterprising spirit. If you are lucky, you can use it in the world, use it in time and benefit the people all over the world. If you are unlucky and have no chance to show your ambition, you should be optimistic. Cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature, and achieve the perfection of personality.
Confucius said: You know your destiny at fifty. Express your feelings about life. It also reflects the general law of life. His original words were: Be determined to learn five out of ten, stand at thirty, be puzzled at forty, know your destiny at fifty, be obedient at sixty, and be upright at seventy.
Confucius said that "the tenth five-year plan is learning" is not the current enlightenment education. It is the university way of "being in Mingde". Refers to the beginning of personality cultivation. This passage of Confucius shows that personality cultivation is a lifelong career. Fifteen to seventy, can be perfect. The reality of Confucius is that few people can live to be over 70 years old, and even fewer people can live to be over 70 years old. Because of this, most people can't achieve the perfection of personality all their lives.
Standing means that people can stand on their own feet in society. In cultivation, it is manifested in establishing a correct outlook on life. Confusion is a stage of continuous consolidation on the basis of a correct outlook on life. Knowing destiny is a process from perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge. The external expression of knowing destiny is not complaining about others and not treating others badly. When you reach this state of life, you will be happy in Huoran. In layman's terms, it is to live clearly. This stage is what Tao Yuanming said, that is, we don't care about poverty or wealth. Neither supercilious nor supercilious, neither blaming parents nor enviing others.
There is a higher realm above knowing the destiny. At the age of 60, people reach the state of hearing. Obedience means that you won't feel bad when you hear different opinions. This is an inclusive mentality after reaching the hole of life. Tolerance is great, but no desire is just. This kind of state is the understanding and respect for life experience different from one's own, which is full of anger and tolerance.
After listening, by the time you are 70 years old, you can achieve the best life without exceeding your inner desires. The so-called "moment" is the law, the establishment of the law and the summary of experience, which is more beneficial than harmful to life. Life to this state, no matter how to follow one's inclinations, are within the rules, are beneficial. This is the best life.
The core content of this life cultivation process summarized by Confucius lies in destiny, which shows that to achieve the perfection of life, we must see through all the innate and acquired conditions of everyone, and then we can understand clearly and stop at perfection.
This cultivation process of Confucius is simple to say but not easy to do. In reality, people who are still confused at the age of 50 and don't understand at the age of 70 are everywhere. It can be seen that the words of a saint seem simple, but it is not so easy to do it.
This is a good question. Kong Old Master Q is a "know-it-all", and many of his words are beyond our comprehension. Fortunately, for thousands of years, the great gods have been explaining, and we have understood a thing or two. But it is this "knowing destiny" that his old man didn't make it clear. There are more than 3,000 disciples, and no one dares to stand up. Please answer the teacher. Without a direct answer from the old man, his students and their students learned to pretend to understand from generation to generation. Although I don't know what Confucius said or whose fate it is, I still shake my head and deceive myself. That's fun, since I don't know, just talk nonsense!

The Analects of Confucius
"The Analects of Confucius and Political Chapter": "Confucius said: I am determined to learn five out of ten, stand at thirty, not be confused at forty, know my destiny at fifty, be obedient at sixty, and not be rebellious at seventy.
What do you mean? Confucius said that I began to make a wish and study hard at the age of fifteen.
Interesting, isn't it? What did you do before you were fifteen? You don't know that "it's all my father's fault to raise or not to teach;" The teaching is lax and the teacher is lazy "? Oh, of course, this is all about your future apprentice, not about you. Look at the children now. They know a lot of words without going to kindergarten. Some children know more than 3000 words as soon as they graduate from kindergarten, more than your apprentice. Wouldn't it be better if you worked hard so early? ! On the other hand, do you think it is unnecessary to study so early and so hard, and it is not too late to make up your mind when you are fifteen?
Being able to stand on your own feet at the age of 30 means that you have graduated, learned something, and can stand on your own feet, start a career and get married.
At the age of forty, I understand the society, myself, my responsibilities, many things, considerable experience and my own judgment, so I won't be confused when I meet things.
At the age of fifty, I knew my destiny.
At the age of 60, I have seen through life, life, fame and fortune, and I can listen to different opinions and hear clearly what I hear.
By the age of 70, I can let nature take its course and do what I want, without exceeding all the rules recognized by society. Interesting. I don't want to do whatever I want, but I have to obey the rules no matter what I do. We are always feeling that the bad guys are old and no one dares to help them fall on the road. If Kong Old Master Q falls down today, should we help him?
Most of these things are incomprehensible to us, but we still know something. It is this "knowing destiny" who doesn't know what the old man really wants to say.

Know what disposable manpower is at the age of 50.
There seems to be no objection that knowing destiny means knowing destiny, but what does destiny mean?
For this reason, I also consulted some materials. Some people say that this refers to learning. I'm afraid I can't. I'm thirty, and I didn't learn until I was fifty. If I make some money by publishing books, it's ok. If I look for a job, it will be a little late. I have reached retirement age.
Some people say that it is "knowing the fate track, life orientation, unfinished responsibilities", which seems more reliable. Because at this age, you should know what to do and what not to do, and you can't bump around like a headless fly like before. Today you engage in entity, tomorrow you engage in virtual. In other words, you should stop fooling around, give yourself a clear position, and take the time to deal with those responsibilities and obligations that need to be fulfilled.
It is also said that "knowing destiny" is not resigned to fate and governing by doing nothing, but that man proposes and God disposes. Work hard but don't expect results, just work hard, not reap. This explanation is very good, because after decades of experience, I know that it is not hard work that leads to good results, but it will definitely not lead to good results without hard work. Success requires many factors and conditions. If something goes wrong, all previous efforts may be in vain. But this doesn't mean giving your future to fate, relying on the sky to eat, but understanding that fate is in your own hands and only through your own efforts can you succeed.

Now we are used to saying that 30 is the year of standing, 50 is the year of destiny and so on. If you say so, people will usually know your age, which is no problem.
What is interesting now is that many people use Kong's life track to express their feelings about their own lives.
Who is Confucius? You can't say that there will be saints in two thousand years, at least in five hundred years. It's not that we can't compare with him, but that we can't design our own life according to his life trajectory. We ordinary people should have our own life plans and goals, as ordinary people.
Standing at thirty, how to stand there? With the current academic system, it's time to graduate with a doctorate. In the words of Confucius, it is not terrible that a person is not famous at the age of 30, which shows that this person does not have much drama. How many people are studying for doctoral degrees, and how many people can be famous at this time? (Of course, online celebrities don't count, but they don't include self-media creators. ) it's hard to start a career, but marriage is still necessary. You can't always ask your parents to force you to get married. This is a big problem and should be paid attention to. Since I have read a book, even a disciple of Mr. Kong Lao should learn from him, listen to him and get married early.
50 years old, I know my destiny. Perhaps the reason why the old gentleman didn't explain clearly was because no one listened and no one would believe him. Right? Only at this age can I understand, I can understand without saying anything, but it's too late to understand. It is because I understand it too late that I really understand it. "The old cow knows that the sunset is short, so she doesn't have to whip herself." Maybe this is the truth.
