Many people are going through a crisis at 30: 很多人也在经历30危机

40不惑

Not to be confused: 不迷惑、不困惑

Not to be tempted: 不被诱惑

Confucius: 孔子

Confucius said, \"At 40, one begins to not be confused or tempted.\" 或 \"At 40, one\'s confusion or temptation melts away.\" 孔子说,40不惑

英语还有个说法

Life begins at 40: 人生40岁才开始

There are a lot of responsibilities and sources of stress at 40: 40岁有很多责任和压力

Jenny说自己其实30岁的时候更加彷徨、迷茫

I was more anxious when I was 30: 我30岁的时候更焦虑

So I can really empathize with those who are feeling the 30 crisis: 所以特别能体会30危机的朋友

(Jenny当时在一家线上教外国人中文的公司工作,以音频课程形式教学,和开言很像)

Felt very uncertain about my future: 对未来很不安、很迷惘

Jenny说找到未来方向的关键是花时间认真思考自己最热爱、最愿意为之付出、最有经验的是什么?答案是中英文语言和文化的交流、教学。所以,在家人的鼓励下开始创业,也就有了开言❤️
