[The collapse of middle-aged people often starts with a physical examination.
Lin Yongnian, 42, is the founder of "Yongnian Technology".
After twenty years of starting from scratch, he turned a small workshop into a well-known enterprise in the industry, but he also turned himself into a machine that was about to be scrapped.
High blood pressure, fatty liver, abnormal heart rate, and long-term insomnia.
The customers are at the wine table, the orders are in the entertainment room, and the competitors are watching behind the scenes.
The company couldn't stop, and he didn't dare to stop.
It wasn't until after a celebration party that he was pushed to the emergency room.
The doctor's words completely destroyed him:
"You are not a successful person now, you are a high-risk patient."
In order to survive, he started running.
But Lin Yongnian soon discovered——
Running in circles is as exciting as shopping malls.
Fight for pace, mileage, equipment, and results;
The circle of friends is full of "self-discipline myths", and the runway is full of "middle-aged anxiety".
He trains like crazy and is obsessed with data,
But before my first half marathon, I injured my knee while running.
The business encountered a vicious price war,
The body is on the verge of collapse,
Family relationships are also gradually becoming unbalanced.
Just when he was at his lowest,
He met the man who was walking "as slowly as a walk" in the park.
"The real master is not the fastest runner."
"It's about people who can continue to run healthy."
From that day on,
Lin Yongnian learned for the first time——
Slow down.
Slow running, slow thinking, slow decision-making, slow life.
And he gradually discovered:
What really determines how far a company can go is
Not explosive power,
But "vitality".

It's really well written. As a runner, I really need to examine myself. I've learned a lot. I'm very moved...
