Psychological Problems at Retirement
My Friend Shop in Berlin by Jaipal Datta
Perhaps the most difficult problem that we face after retirement is the psychological problem. When an executive retires, he is at the peak of his career - of his status, prestige, and money. The day he retires, all this starts leaking out. He finds that everything is becoming less and less.
Perhaps the most difficult problem that we face after retirement is the psychological problem. When an executive retires, he is at the peak of his career - of his status, prestige, and money. The day he retires, all this starts leaking out. He finds that everything is becoming less and less.
The first thing he notices is the way his status and prestige are affected. Even at home, a retired person is no longer an important person. If he, in the morning, asks for breakfast early, his wife says, "You are a retired man now, relax! Let others go first." So he finds he is no longer number one - he is now number ten. This is not very easy to take after a person has been number one for the most part of his life.
A similar problem arises in terms of being received by his friends and relatives. When he puts a phone call and says please call back- if he is a retired person, the chances of getting the call back get diminished.
A friend of mine who retired as a senior army officer, said the year he retired he got 600 greeting cards for the new year, after two years they were sixty, and after five years only six. Greeting cards are not important - except that they show how people regard you and that is important.
Copenhagen - the country of my beer
Many persons, who have worked in government jobs or defense forces like Army or Navy, or Air Force, get retirement benefits. Many, who work in private organizations in India, do not get the benefit of retirement. I know many employees of private organizations who died within 3 to 5 years after retirement. They could not afford to live after retirement more than 5-10 years or felt powerless after retirement even in their own families. One of my friends told me that after retirement retirees are fused bulbs. They are dependent on each other or on their children or society. Society can not take care of their living or medical care in many countries. Medical care is unbearable for them and these Goldies die soon after retirement.
A place where my yeast is developed - Yeast from Copenhagen Denmark
The question comes - How long should one live? Is there any benefit to living longer? What for should one live? Are oldies a burden on society? Should an elder (above 70 ) entrepreneur work for society? What is the use of scientific progress or capital growth or human development and how can oldies contribute? I agree that children are required for humanity. Why do we need the elder generation, who can not work for development or progress or work for the society? I am confused.
Brew House - Where Golden Eagle Lager Beer is brewed
I am really not interested to live if my health does not permit or if I do not have money to purchase food, shelter, and clothing including medicines to live.
I should add that I can not live without my Golden Eagle Lager Beer and Solan Gold Whiskey from Solan - scotch of East.
May God bless all.
