A saying of Confucius which can help us understand the wisdom of ageing.
At 15 I set my heart on learning, at 30 I knew where I stood, at 40 I had no more doubts, at 50 I knew the will of Heaven, at 60 my ears were attuned, and at 70 I followed my heart’s desire without crossing the line.
Confucius observed that new insights and understanding can be achieved at each stage of life. Looking back on his own experience, he reflected that every new chapter brings a unique role to play, and a new chance to grow. So as you age, become attuned to your surroundings and follow your heart's desire. You will be better for it as will your loved ones.
