Short translation: Confucius felt that one’s 30s will be characterized by his independence in taking on responsibility, and his clear life directions and developmental goals. Being self-aware, independent, systematic, and calm, one in his 30s will be able to settle down, take on noble missions, cultivate high morale, and contribute to society, so that his life will be meaningful.<\/p>\n
I probably learned this when I was 10, and finally it came into being. Literarily speaking, being 30 is huge (as a 10 year old might think). It is the end of recklessness. It is the beginning of steadfast commitment. It is the beginning of sincerity to one’s own body and pursuit. A 30 year old should grow roots. A 30 year old should be firm, with the mind having a crystal clear vision of his future, because he has enough past now to extrapolate into the future. Another to put it (in mum’s word): How any 30 years do we get in our lives?<\/p>\n
No matter which year you use to mark that transition, it’s a good to know when to put your foot down, before you know how. <\/p>\n
2. Science<\/b> (Geography \/ Physics \/ Sociology)<\/p>\n
And there’s no better way to spend one’s thirtieth birthday at home, doing nothing.<\/p>\n
Besides spending most of the last 3 days traveling, and long hours eating and chatting, this was one hell of a long weekend (took leave Friday) that vanished at the blink of the eye. The sleep was good, and so was the leisure shopping.<\/p>\n
Surely the energy level has dropped compared to the 20s, but being 30s means that the temper has also dropped. What is sad is that the emotion level has also dropped slightly. It’s getting harder to cry these days. Occasionally, I get a tear somewhere in the middle of a rehearsal, which is a happy thing because it’s not only my analytical mind that’s working with the music, but the creative mind and the romantic heart too that’s reaching to the music. Being 30s means being in peace with your ego, and start doing the best with what you have instead of lamenting about what you don’t have.<\/p>\n
Apply the above to “sleep” (making the best of life with insufficient sleep instead of lamenting the need to bring work home), and you finally come to terms with why there are zombies at work sometimes.<\/p>\n
3. Rituals<\/b><\/p>\n
What makes this birthday extra special besides being able to spend it with a special person, is still being able to spend it with a special person. Firstly, this birthday ritual that probably started every since we started having calendars, is a generous ritual. Everyone can perform it, and normally no one will stop you from celebrating your birthday, or tell you how you should celebrate your birthday, so I chose to spend it on the road.<\/p>\n
And as the weekend wind down, I also thought it is time to engage in another ritual of life. It has been many moons since I’ve found her (or she’s found me, or we’ve found each other, depending on how you look at it). At first, I didn’t want to get it wrong. Now, I just want to get it right. I want to get it right every day. Maybe that’s the real difference between the 20s and the 30s, the need to directions, affirmations, words of comfort. <\/p>\n
