This tweet has sparked a great deal of controversy that I did not expect, and the comments have shown two extremes. One side says, why should we please young people? Middle-aged and elderly individuals should just maintain their own circles.

In fact, there are some deeper issues in the article that I find difficult to express, but I want to clarify that the essence of this tweet is not about pleasing young people. The so-called "young people" represent an attitude towards life today. Many habits of middle-aged and elderly individuals include education, a protagonist halo, and flaunting wealth. Compared to those who are wealthy, they tend to be humble, while they look down on those who are less affluent, and they often say "it's for your own good" to children.

This issue isn't just about interacting with young people; it is a problem in any interaction, especially since many middle-aged and elderly individuals like to "rank by seniority." Although I am also older, I do not appreciate such behavior. For instance, my father often likes to educate me, but out of politeness and respect, I can treat his teachings as background noise, yet I must maintain a respectful attitude.

So I thought, when I am talking to other peers, I cannot behave like that. After all, I am older, and many peers are young to me; in my life circle, work circle, and social circle, there is a larger proportion of young people, and I am not integrating to "please" anyone.

For example, in my badminton group, almost everyone is young, and we often meet to play together, and they are all very successful young individuals. This group is very important to me in Singapore. When something happened to one of the members, a large number of peers responded immediately, and it was resolved quickly. This kind of united and supportive circle is extremely important to me.

Another example is in one of my businesses, where my partners are older, but the actual frontline workers are very young ladies and gentlemen. We often discuss the details of business development together, and I can always hear the latest trends and solutions from them, which is a great learning experience for me personally.

Moreover, I often have family gatherings with peers my age, all of whom have children. In the past, I also liked to preach and educate from the perspective of "someone who has been there," even with my chipmunk. But I found that such effects can be counterproductive. My son, can I completely ignore him just because he is young and we have a gap? Absolutely not. When it's time to be a dad, I must play the role of a dad, but when it's time to be a friend, I must not carry too much paternal tone.

In my social circle, there are young people, middle-aged and older individuals; there is no need to please anyone. It is just that in different situations, the details I need to pay attention to are slightly different, but the essence is always respect for friends.
