Retire Young. Retire Rich. That’s what on the mind of most people these days. Retirement has different meanings for most. Some decide to finally do something that they wish to do. Some want to change the world. Be a better person. Some retire to help people. Whatever the case is, we all look forward to retiring. It brings about a sense of security and peace of mind that we’ve achieved something with our life and that its time to stop, take a break and do something good.

Whatever the case, retirement is not the end. It simply means the beginning. To some, they define it as endless vacations and overseas trips etc. And they’ll probably bore themselves to death after a while. To me, retirement is about contribution. Not just about material gains. I’m talking about time, skills and resources. Why do I share what I have in schools, seminars, workshops and even on this blog, is the fact that I’ve realised that one doesn’t have to wait to retire. We may retire right this minute and start loving every minute of life.

“When Do You Want To Retire and Start Living Life?”

“I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife. But the problems are such that for anybody with a conscience who can use whatever influence he may have to try to bring about peace, it’s difficult to say no.” - Nelson Mandela
