The Paradox of Age and Experience. - Jan. 10, 2024.

My love advised me to do what I really want to within my last few months as a student, as working life often feels like having less time than when you are a student. It's often said that students may have little money but plenty of time, whereas working people may have money but lack time. As a child, I used to think that getting older would bring more economic and social freedom. It seems I was wrong, haha. Isn't it a mysterious and curious riddle?

Additionally, there's another interesting riddle. People in their 20s often say their teenage years were good times, and then, when they reach their 30s, they reminisce about how great their 20s were. I often see people like that. They don’t realize that the present moment is the most superb and enjoyable. We can live in the now and create our future, but we can't live in the past. All we can do with our past is remember and learn from it. Therefore, we must live in the present honestly, take ownership of our future selves, and create our lives with our own hands.

There are many curious and amusing riddles in the world, but I believe everything depends on how we perceive them.
