The Hokkaido Biological Research Group in Japan conducted an experiment.
Carefully staring at the ant colony, I found that most of the ants are diligent, carrying food and looking for food; A few ants are wandering, or are motionless – becoming "lazy ants".
When the ant colony ran out of food, the industrious ants were overwhelmed, but the lazy ants took everyone and calmly found food.
It turns out that the lazy ant is not idle, but observes and analyzes the environment, acting as a scout and a vanguard.
This is the lazy ant effect.
As a post-70s person, I will reach the age of forty or fifty in a flash, and I should know my destiny.
How should I spend the rest of my life? You should think and leave a trail behind.
Many people, born in the countryside, and then go out to work, start a business, buy a house in the city, and come to the peak of their lives step by step. Of course, it has been busy.
According to the law that life is a "parabola", after the age of fifty, it is downhill. Smart people will find ways to seek stability, rather than keeping themselves busy for the rest of their lives. The human heart will be tired, and the body will not be able to eat.
If there is anything to be achieved in life, it is "steady progress", not "rapids and courage".
For age and family, life, career and other aspects, we must use the "lazy ant effect" to cope with changes unchanged and let the rest of our lives be stable. Don't be too diligent and lose the results of your first half of your life's efforts.

First, work "lazy" and let a young man.
Think about it, when we were young, when we went to chop firewood, pick wild fruits, pick rice dumplings and mountain flies, etc., we would often climb to the top of the mountain and even climb over the mountain pass.
Our parents often warned us that as long as we are industrious people, even if they are farming, they can support themselves.
When we walked to the factory, on the assembly line, there was no chance for our hands and feet to stop. Even if you open your own shop, you still want to be busy all the time, so that you can earn more.
Some people, in order to open a shop to make money, get up at three or four o'clock in the morning, and have not finished work at ten o'clock at night.
I finally reached the peak of my career and was really happy. Think about it and be able to stay here for a long time.
Especially people in the workplace, according to the law of "seniority ranking", they also have a better position and more income.
Don't be complacent, know the law of "things must be reversed". When our work and income peak, we will definitely go down. In the future, our position should be given to young people, high-income opportunities, but also to give up.
In response to the phenomenon of "giving way", you should take the initiative and be willing to give young people a chance to show their skills.
The "lazy ant effect" has this view: 20% of lazy ants guide 80% of industrious ants. After competition, ants are qualified to be "lazy".
Making money and dividing labor in the workplace all exist in the law of two and eight. The higher the person, the more relaxed they are, the more comfortable they are at work, and they can teach everyone how to do it.
Mencius said: "Those who work hard rule people, and those who work hard rule over people." ”
Take the initiative to give way, in this way, it will form a transition period in the workplace, you still have a lot of time, within 20% - there will be many young people to follow your learning experience, your work pressure, naturally less. When you are sixty years old, the skills are taught, and you get more praise, which can be called "glorious retirement".

Second, the family side is "lazy", be a good commander, and keep your children busy.
After a lifetime of hard work, it is not for the sake of children to live better. I believe that many post-70s people choose to settle in the city for the sake of their children's study; For the sake of family destiny, I worked hard to keep my savings and create a career.
But when exactly do we have to be busy to enjoy the blessings of "filial piety to our children"? When will we really feel comfortable letting our children be in charge?
There is a saying that goes: "If you want a happy family, you must raise your son as a man." ”
If parents are done with everything, what should children do? Of course, they can only "sit back and enjoy it".
The terrible thing is that some children, when they get married, find that their parents bought the "so-called marriage house" many years ago, and their hearts are very unhappy. Because the children like big cities, their parents arrange for them to live in small counties.
There are also some children who, knowing that their parents have tens of millions of savings, are too lazy to work. Reach out for money every day. If your parents don't give it, they say, "You have so much money, if you don't give me money, who will you leave it to?" ”
If in a family, the parents are too tired to straighten up, and the children become lazy ants, the family is hopeless.
Therefore, we should become lazy ants and keep our children busy. Tell your children about the experience of life and be a good commander.
When our children have the ability and the ability of a commander, we will be six or seven years old, and then we will be even lazier, and we can "raise the heavens and the years.".

Third, the desire in life to be "lazy" and allow oneself to become imperfect.
The "lazy ant effect" tells us that we always have to see the weak links of the organization and let a group of ants survive the most difficult times.
For ant colonies to get better, they need to constantly explore and find new foods.
The above points are similar to our lives - life is destined not to be perfect, but we can always pursue perfection and pay attention to innovation.
Walking on the road of pursuit of perfection, life is successful.
When we were young, we wanted to be astronauts, scientists, etc., but when we became adults, it was not so, we were just workers, little parents. There is a big gap between wishes and reality.
When we make money, we all want to look like a local tycoon, but we are just out of poverty, and there is no possibility of "spending money casually".
When we meet someone who loves and can't help it, we think it's true love, but we have to let go. When I think about it, it seems that my heart is faintly painful. Love has too much helplessness.
Accept the imperfections of life, don't bother to think about those things that are "doomed to not get", and you are relieved.
Seeing the broken places of life and detecting the loopholes in the family is actually a kind of "thinking of danger in peace" attitude to life. Always find a way not to expand loopholes and shortcomings, and can slowly make up for it, so that you have a happy and tireless state of life.
For example, when you were a child, you wanted to be a scientist, and when the second half of your life became very leisurely, you could make some inventions and create, change the same agricultural tools, furniture, and daily necessities, which is also a dream come true.
The "laziness" of life is actually a change of lifestyle, not lying still.

After the 70s, to be a lazy ant, what should we do?
First, according to age, know what you should do, do not blindly toss, and pay more attention to physical and mental rest.
Second, according to the family situation, improve the efficiency of the housekeeper and lock in the goal of family development.
Third, according to the laws of the workplace, let yourself slowly retreat, do not flaunt your might.
Fourth, arrange life according to needs, reduce the allocation of life, and reduce consumption.
After the 70s, the first half of our lives are already busy enough, and the second half of our lives should be idle, although we have less vitality, but more transparent mentality.
Cultivating the body well, there is no internal friction in the spirit, and doing a good job in the handover of life is another wealth.
