Confucius said: "I am determined to study at the age of fifteen, and I can achieve something at the age of thirty." Forty years old, no longer confused about things. At the age of fifty, I learned what is beyond human control. Sixty years old, I can listen to different opinions. At the age of seventy, I can do whatever I want without overstepping the bounds. "
