People like to define others and be defined by others, but true youth has no boundaries. The age of 30 cannot be defined one-sidedly by stability, compromise, success or failure. The meaning of adulthood should be to constantly test and overthrow the "truths" on which youth relied entirely. Only by constantly breaking the confinement of this world on ourselves can we gain more permissions to unlock the world. This is an enterprising book written by best-selling author Li Shanglong as he approaches the age of 30 for young people who dare to explore and break through themselves. At the age of 30, real life has just begun. There are countless possibilities in this life, as long as you never give up and ride the wind and waves.
Reader comments
Thirty-three years old, I have been raising my children full-time for several years. I look at the people around me, my friends and classmates in my circle of friends, who have achieved their own small achievements, and I feel envious. I also suffered from insomnia, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I accidentally came across this book and read it in four days. I also wanted to find the answers I wanted from the book. In fact, if you think about it, after you are thirty years old, every day you live now will be the youngest day you will be in the future. Next, after the first half of the confusion has passed, I also want to start the next ten years. I hope that these ten years will be brave, perseverance, learning, and a promising future.
It is said that one can stand firm at thirty and not be confused at forty. As a post-90s generation stuck in the middle, life is full of trivial matters and trivial matters, career is stagnant, there are seniors and juniors, and every hair that falls off is murdered by pressure. I was fortunate enough to read this book by Teacher Li Shanglong, which cleansed my soul and gave me an inspiration. It gave me the impulse to think seriously about life. Thirty years old has the advantages of thirty years old. It is calmer than twenty years old and more energetic than forty years old. It is the real beginning of life and an important turning point in life. If you settle down and take life and career seriously, you will definitely have unexpected gains!
At the age of 30, youth should be at the end, ambitions remain the same, life has been understood, and the future is unclear. If you use a poem to describe the beginning of 3 years, it must be Su Shi's. "Try new fires and new teas, and poetry and wine take advantage of the years." After these thirty years of playing, working hard, and reflecting, I still forge ahead despite not knowing my shortcomings, and move forward while looking at the distant mountains. Still traveling thousands of miles alone, there is no need to worry about the rain on the road ahead. When I feel uncomfortable, I drink wine in the middle of the night to soothe my loneliness, and at dawn I go off into the world of mortals. When you are happy, you feel a little awe-inspiring, and you feel like you are flying thousands of miles away. Standing at thirty, only thirty! Life has begun, and the flowers have to be cut off when they bloom, but don't wait until there are no flowers to break off the branches. Come on!
I was already 30 years old when I first read this book. It took me a day to read it. Every sentence written by Teacher Li was on the tip of my heart and deeply touched me. I made a lot of notes and reflections. There were so many things I wanted to say but I didn't know what to say. I think back to the time I wasted for more than ten years in the first half of my life, if I had started reading when I was a teenager. I studied in college, took exams, saved money for investment and management while working, went to the places I wanted to meet, met the people I wanted to meet, and bought a house of my own. But now I am a housewife with two children and no job. I have fallen into anxiety and confusion countless times, and my heart is filled with fear about the uncertainty of the future. There is a sense of security, and there is no one to guide me in life. I am sure this is not the life I want. Although I am very tired, I still insist on listening to books every day, reading hard, learning English, French, and writing. I am very tired. I feel very at ease when I think of the gains and progress every day. I am grateful to the author's words for giving me the strength to move forward.
Don't write books for utility
Just a heart-to-heart communication
Hope you stick to your heart and never forget your original intention
—To the author and himself
I have just turned thirty, I have just started a family, I have just welcomed the arrival of a new life, I have just faced the choice of work and career, I have just clicked on this book... Everything is just right.
Although there are countless truths, practice depends on the individual. But every time when I feel confused, I read some of the philosophies of life in the book, and the words are enlightening. It feels like my own experience corresponds to the stories and truths written by the author. It feels like I am in dialogue with the words in the book, comforting, washing, and reflecting on all my past experiences. Every time I read a book, it seems like I am breaking myself, reshaping myself, and starting again.
I am a loyal fan of Teacher Shang Long. Although I am 4 years older than the teacher, every time I read the teacher's words, I feel like I am reading a letter written by the teacher to me. It warms my heart and makes me feel more at ease. I have new expectations for the future. It doesn't matter that I am 35 years old. As long as I am still on the road and making progress, it doesn't matter if I take it slow. Life will always get better...
I excerpt the teacher's three sentences and send them to myself, as well as to you and him who are reading the comments:
1. "Loneliness is the best period of appreciation."
2. "The best way to defeat anxiety is to quickly do the things that make you feel anxious." I always want to say to you: "Do it, do it, it is better than waiting."
3. Walk slowly, but don't go wrong.
The cost of trial and error in this world is getting higher and higher. Once you make a mistake, you will easily be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame. Therefore, it is important to think clearly before doing it.
The book sums up people who have accomplished nothing at the age of 30 very well. In my opinion, it gives a very real analysis of my current situation. I hope I will not sink but actually change in this new year.
I am about to enter my third year of running. I have also been anxious, confused, and decadent. I have benefited greatly from reading this book by Teacher Shang Long. At the age of thirty, my body and mind are at the most mature stage. This is the beginning of life. Come on, the future is promising.
This is a very inspirational work. People are often affected by the external environment and other people's words, which leads to low self-esteem. Your life should not be defined by others. You should achieve success or accomplish something at your age, because everyone's environment and circumstances are different, and there has never been a shortage of late bloomers since ancient times. When the author of this book, Li Shanglong, was 30 years old, he wrote this book for young people who dare to explore and break through themselves. At the age of 30, real life has just begun. There are countless possibilities in this life, as long as we do not set limits for ourselves and dare to ride the wind and waves.
I wrote when I was thirty, but most of my hard work was in my 20s. I think I belong to the kind of decadent person that Brother Long mentioned.
But I will change. I used to think that hard work was for others, but in fact, hard work is for myself. Even if the reality doesn't change much, it will not be in vain if I get better.
I also understand what Brother Long means, as long as you are on the way to getting better, don't give up, keep at it.
In the past, I always couldn't hold on and put my goals outside. Now that I know better, I will hold on longer.
Come on, my future self
Our lives are easily out of balance and often out of control. Life is not the way you have lived it, but the way you remember it. The ultimate in life lies in breakthroughs and changes. It's just about not admitting defeat or accepting fate. Only if you work hard enough will you not regret your youth.
This is what the author wrote for himself. He once encouraged others, but in fact it was all to encourage himself. From a height, a 30-year-old's life looks like an ant. It is difficult to recognize an ant in a vast sea of people. But we still need to be hopeful and full of expectations for this world. Even if you reach the lowest point in life, you must find a way out and move forward bravely.
The only difference between the hardship of study and the hardship of life is that the hardship of study is active and the hardship of life is passive. I quite agree with this statement. Increasing income starts with improving capabilities, and limiting desires starts with self-control. Now I just limit my desires and control myself for half a year.
I am just thirty this year. After reading this book, I think I should know what to do. At thirty, work hard!
Now that I am 28, I feel like I am always working day in and day out.
I wonder if I will be able to live the life I want when I am 30 years old in two years. I really want to start a business and travel. I don't want to waste my youth! !
I came across this book on the last day of 2022. I spent most of the day reading it from cover to cover. I underlined the parts that touched me, and I took it out from time to time to read it. After reading it, I felt a little more at ease. It paved the way for my upcoming 30th year. Don't be anxious and do the things you do now. At the age of 30, everything has just begun.
It has a great influence on me. Many of the words the author said have a warning effect for us. No matter how old we are now, in the next ten years, I hope we can all live the way we want. The steps are small, but never stop.
Originally, I had been waiting and looking at the future, thinking about buying a car in the future, which city to buy a house in, watching other people's online tutorials on how to make money, and wanting to start a company, but I did nothing. I just imagined that I would have a lot of money in the future without working for others.
Everyone has a dream in their hearts, but at the age of thirty, many people bow their heads to reality due to the pressure of life. I don't know what my future holds, but I think the same as Brother Long. As long as you keep on the road and work hard in the direction you want, that's fine and never forget your original intention.
This book made me realize that age is just a number, and what really matters is our mindset and actions. Just like the book says, "At the age of 30, real life has just begun." We still have countless possibilities to pursue our dreams. The author uses his personal experience to tell us not to be bound by other people's definitions, but to explore and try bravely. I like a sentence in the book: "Only by constantly breaking the confinement of this world on yourself, can you gain more permissions to unlock the world." This sentence inspired me deeply, and I must also work hard to break the confinement and pursue my own infinite possibilities.
I am thirty years old and finally read this book! The author's writing style is very friendly, simple and easy to understand, very good! But what is a bit lacking is that some of the ideas and writing methods feel repetitive... But I did learn a lot. Thank you to the author for his hard work and giving guidance to those of us who are confused. I want to break through too!
This is a book that I have been chasing to read with all my heart. I am more than 30 years old. It can be said that this is the first book I have really read besides the textbook when I was in school. Thank you to the author for your hard work! Thank you 😊 I will watch it again!
I only read "Thirty Has Just Begun" by teacher Shang Long when I was forty years old. Reading this book is a collision of words, soul and time! When people reach middle age, they are still sure that they are always on the road. Time is not wasted and I look forward to the beauty of the next stop.
I will read it over and over again. There are some contents that I haven't comprehended or understood yet. I like it very much because I am at a stage where I am confused about life and career, but this has given me so much encouragement and courage. I am very grateful🙏.
Having read several of his books, I feel that a person can maintain such strong energy and not be knocked down by sudden difficulties and setbacks. Everyone is at a low point. But people always have to look forward and life has to go on, so why can't we work harder and live every moment well? After all, life is the greatest luxury.
I always thought that the age of thirty was a gap that could not be crossed. If I accomplished nothing before the age of thirty, I would be destined to be a loser from now on. I would have self-doubt, self-denial, and self-abasement, and spend one empty day after another. I came across this book by accident. The title attracted me. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. My fragile soul drew nourishment from the author's words. Just think that I have just graduated. I want to change from now on, one year, two years, ten years. I hope that when I am forty years old, I will say to myself that these ten years have been worth it, and I have no regrets...
I spent three days listening to and reading this book intermittently. It was the first time I read Teacher Li Shanglong's book. I was about to turn 30 and wanted to "learn from it". Age is just a number, it's not scary. What's scary is that if you don't grow up along the way, that's the scariest thing. Fortunately, I don't think I'm wasting my time too much, but I haven't made good use of it. Life is short, and I'm almost thirty. Life is very long, and it's hard to stick to something that's good for you. I hope that I can slowly find myself in the book, strengthen my beliefs, improve myself, and not follow the crowd. [Salute]
Brother Long, if I get better and better because of this book, let's be friends😜😜😜
I read a book today called Life at Thirty. I recall that when I was 20 years old, I wanted to write a book. Although I tried hard, I randomly piled up a few paragraphs of words, but the book ended up in vain. Now that I am nearly 40 years old, I must pick up some scattered words and write this down.
The author uses many examples, a lot of comparisons, and his own daily life to explain that the age of 30 should not be a time of decadence, anxiety, and self-abasement. It should be the starting point for us to persist in learning and continue to explore.
Thirty-three years old, I have been raising my children full-time for several years. I look at the people around me, my friends and classmates in my circle of friends, who have achieved their own small achievements, and I feel envious.
