By the time we've hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons.
When I was about to turn 50, I went into a kind of personal revision and observed my own priorities and what led those priorities in my life. And many things that, in a way, were profound.
We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
When you reach 50, what you care about is being honest, being accurate, and being an example.
One of the most important things that I have learned in my 57 years is that life is all about choices. On every journey you take, you face choices. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. And it is those decisions that shape our lives.

After reaching 50, I began to wonder what the root of life is.
