無論是 Erik Erikson 所解釋的 Stagnation vs Generative ，還是 Daniel Levinson’s Seasons of Life 所指的 Midlife Transition: remaining years become more precious …. Inner pressure to find more satisfying life path before it is too late.
我相信重點都是有關珍惜時間，趁還有心有力，找時間做自己喜歡做的事，別過份單一專注事業或照顧家庭或繼續頹廢，到老時不要有太多所謂 'unfinished business'，然後帶著很多未完的心願離開。
有趣的是，風水輪流轉，原來男人和女人踏入中年後：
Many men become more interested in expression of feelings, intimate relationships and nurturing, i.e. traits traditionally labeled as feminine.
Many women become more assertive, self-confident and achievement-oriented, i.e characteristics traditionally labeled as masculine.
變也好，不變也好，始終因人而異，只要別勉強自己便可。
而 Carol Ryff’s Dimensions of Well-Being (self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, personal growth) 就的確值得參考和自我思考。
定下新目標，接受自己，將壓力變為動力，我相信 Midlife Crisis 也非人生必經的歷程。
