The real pleasure comes from continuing to learn because your mind will approach knowledge in a very different way as you get older, contrary to popular belief, which holds that happiness at this age is linked to social and professional stability. Even subjects you've been finding challenging or annoying in school can be used as a space for curiosity and learning motivation when you're 40 years old. I started studying mathematics, which was the most beautiful thing I did in my first year of being 40. And I can't even begin to express how wonderful it felt to be able to understand and solve difficult equations. Of course, the activity of my brain's neural networks is what I am concerned with.
Just be aware that the confluence of opportunities with your readiness for them is the true luck needed to succeed in life in all fields.
..وللحظوظ مراتب ، فلا تعجل على ثمرة لم تدرك ، فإنّما تنالها في أوانها . واعلم أن المدبّر لك أعلم بالوقت الذي يصلح حالك فيه ، فثق بخيرته في جميع أمورك يصلح حالك ، ولا تعجل بحوائجك قبل وقتها...
