A person’s life

For most people, their life looks like this:

First 20 years – ignorant, blur, unsure of what they want to do in their life.
Next 20 years – impatient, egoistic, proud.
Next 20 years – tired, frustrated, lost hope, given up their goals or dreams.
Last 20 years – loss of sight, hearing, movement, health, etc…

The happiest and action-oriented people will be guided by their friends, mentor or parents in the first 20 years. They will follow sound advice and work out their plans in the next 20 years by trial or error. The next 20 years they will begin to enjoy the fruits of their labor and the last 20 years will be just relax and enjoy their life.

Two of my friends are reaching the 3rd 20 years period. They are tired, frustrated, and may have given up their goals and dreams.

How many 20 year periods a person can have? Even though we have 4 of them, the first 20 years, we are in a state of blurriness. The last 20 years, we may suffer loss of hearing, movement etc…in actual fact, we only have 40 years of productive life in which we can pursue the things important to us. Thus, treasure and value these 40 years because, it will never come back again.
