When people are over a certain age, they may think about a lot of things. One thing is probably about the time. When we get a life-long job and have a stable income, what else can we do then? Most of them may spend their life in this way: we don't need to do anything else. We just depend on the job to live our rest of life until we retire. For me, I think my job is so simple and easy and it doesn't need to take much time. But in my free time, can I do something else? According to some rules, I am not allowed to do anything else and I have to comply with these kinds of rules strictly, not to mention running a business or making money. I once saw a text in primary school books. It is called "running against the time" written by the famous writer Linqingxuan who is from Taiwan and I was very touched after reading it. I was also very moved when I saw my mom at her old age. She really wants to do some things but she lost those abilities. Although I am over fifty, I still can do some things. After having my jobs done, in my free time, can't I do some things? Or just like this, let time flow quietly until I retire, and don't have the ability anymore to do things?

According to some rules, I am not allowed to do anything else and I have to comply with these kinds of rules strictly, not toI want to correct this sentence, but I can't think of a good way in which to do so. This sudden mention of rule without explaining what they are and where they come from is confusing. Same thing with the sudden mention of running a business or making money.
