Recently, came across a bachelor's degree holder driver who dedicated his life to the best possible education of his two kids. Finally, his son went to LUMS and his daughter went to NCA.
The LUMS graduated son got married to his rich class fellow and eventually left his dad for good as his wife didn't like the poor household of her in-laws.
The middle aged driver was in tears.
Besides this, he was regretting for not been able to build his life despite being very talented and multi-skilled.
He said, he appeared in the admission test in NCA along with great names of the industry today, but the Principal of that time told him that he couldn't get admission in NCA because he was too poor to pay NCA's fee.
Now, at his midlife years, he realized that despite his strong urge to become something or to build his life, he couldn't do much due to lack of resources. He considers himself a failure.
Can someone give him some hope or suggestions that still he can do a lot.
Are there coaches to coach him? Are there generous people who could finance one of his dreams, at least?

Got a query. Please share your views and experiences to help that person

"I'm 36, working woman, and enjoy my independence and freedom. I'm still single and crave for marriage, but when a rishta comes or someone approaches me for marriage, I just feel scared and back off. I'm not sure if I'm capable of sharing my life with someone practically. I really don't want to give up my freedom and independence. Please let me know what to do?"

I haven't discovered anything that I may take up as a hobby. All my life I have been happy with my responsibilities and achievements. Now, when I have enjoyed 4 decades of my life, I realized that I don't know how to have fun. I want to start a hobby but don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

'Raqeeb Se'....What an impressive play on midlife issues!
A must watch!

What would you suggest to a person who is getting married in his 40s first time?

Are there any national & international Ph.D. scholarships for people who are 50 plus?

I have been dreaming to be physically fit but could never control my food obsession. Now, I am touching 50 and still dream the same. Should I let go of this dream for my peace of mind?

Are you that passionate about life?

Sounds Reasonable to me! iamreasonable.com

Do you experience the same?

When does middle-age start for you? What are the signs that say "it's midlife"?

After 23 years of job experience, I realized that your professional goals are always different from your company’s goals. Second, no matter how much you work hard and exceptionally good, you can never be rewarded enough in terms of money and promotion. Third, events like Covid can deprive you of your job. So, now at 45, I want to start my own business. Should I go for it? What would you suggest?

How about having pets, taking online classes to learn something new, reading books or blogs, and exploring new social activities in midlife? Do they make our lives more interesting and more productive? Or, is it just too late to do so?

I always feel like I'm a useless person doing nothing until I have realised how much I have accomplished. Does anyone has the same feelings??

Guys, do you relate yourself to the story of this lady? Is there any solution?

"All my life, I have been pursuing my career aggressively and got exceptional opportunities for growth. This too ambitious attitude didn't give me a moment to love and marry someone. But now, in my middle-age years, I yearn for a companion despite my independence and success. When I look around, I find men of my age are all married. The widowed and divorced have their baggage from their previous marriages. I wonder how to find the right partner of my age who shares a similar level of ambitiousness and like-mindedness."
I tried some dating sites but got disappointed.

Guys, I come across resentful women who complain like this:

"I have been busy becoming a perfect wife, mom, and professional and had been happy with the sense of achievement that I had every single day. But now, after spending 15 years like this, I feel like I have missed out on so many things: I couldn't follow my interests. I didn't have time to read my favorite authors, watch the movies and documentaries I was interested in, travel, develop my technical skills, make more friends to hang out, apply makeup more often to present myself better, and attend to my health. Apparently, these things sound small, but now I feel sad to miss them out because I deserved them."

Please suggest to them something that can make up her losses.

Hello friends how many have you already faced midlife crisis? Pls share your experience.

Guys, what do you say about this message?

"When we got married, we were compatible on all levels. Then, I kept working and professional & social exposure and experience transformed me into a new person, whereas my wife stayed home and got stuck with kids and family. Now, we have nothing in common. Despite valuing each other's role in the family, we have nothing to talk about and enjoy together. Rather, we have two separate lives. It bothers both of us. What can we do now?"

Life is a journey in which we travel many roads. Some are smooth, some are bumpy. Sometimes these bumpy roads reflect midlife crisis. Which road are you on presently??
