description: "The truths gradually realized upon reaching middle age:1. A good marriage is one where each lives their own life; absolute loyalty does not exist.2. Start saving money. When you are old and have money, your children won't treat you too poorly for the sake of that money.3. Women must accept their husbands' limitations, and men must accept their wives' changing figures and fading beauty.4. Unless you are a businessperson, the more friends you have, the more you fail. 90% of interpersonal relationships only waste your energy and time.5. Only care about how to develop yourself better; do not inquire about, ask about, or care about others' affairs.6. Accept the mediocrity of your parents, accept your own mediocrity, and accept the mediocrity of your children.7. Making money is about finding the right thing and doing it to the extreme. It's better to do one thing for ten years than to do ten things in one year.8. Never discuss interests with those you have emotional ties with, and never discuss emotions with those you have interest-based ties with.9. No matter how big the issue, it becomes a small matter after three years. Except for life and death, there is nothing you cannot get past.10. One sign of maturity is not seeing things in black and white, but recognizing and accepting the gray areas. Right and wrong depend on the perspective from which you view the problem."
