My father is approaching the age of 65.
He actually thought he could just sit at home, eat, sleep and watch TV, tried that, but it turned out to be way too boring and he never expected what was coming his way in a couple of years.
So after retirement, he put his knowledge and experience to good use and started working as a management consultant. He takes on projects in western and southern India from time to time and travels when needed.
Otherwise, he loves sitting on the rocking chair in our sunny balcony and reading the newspaper.
我父亲快65岁了。
实际上，他认为他可以坐在家里，吃饭，睡觉，看电视，试过了，但结果证明太无聊了，他从未预料到几年后会发生什么。
所以退休后，他充分利用自己的知识和经验，开始做管理顾问。他不时在印度西部和南部接手项目，并在需要时旅行。
除此之外，他喜欢坐在阳光明媚的阳台上的摇椅上看报纸。

His schedule was pretty relaxed until last year when, unfortunately, my granny and mom were both incapacitated one after the other. Even with hired help, the dependency on him didn’t disappear.
At his age, he is changing diapers, cleaning them when the nurse is on leave, cooking delicious meals, managing the household, undertaking some of the daily chores, paying bills, shopping, and a lot more.
他的日程安排相当轻松，直到去年，不幸的是，我的奶奶和妈妈一个接一个地失去了工作能力。即使雇了帮手，我们对他的依赖也没有消失。
在他这个年纪，他会换尿布，在护士休假时清洗尿布，做美味的饭菜，管理家庭，承担一些日常琐事，支付账单，购物，还有很多。
I help him as much as possible by taking care of online technology-related stuff, anything that can be done from half a globe away. He is probably more interested in recipes and the kitchen now than I am.
I would love for him to sit back, relax, watch TV, and enjoy the fruits of his glorious professional life.
我尽可能多地帮助他处理与网络技术相关的事情，任何远在半个地球之外也能做的事情。他现在可能比我更对食谱和厨房感兴趣。
我希望他能坐下来，放松一下，看看电视，享受他辉煌的职业生涯的成果。

But not everyone has that luxury.
Many senior citizens continue to be involved in one thing or the other unless they are medically unfit and unable to move around.
Some work for money, to pay their bills since Govt doesn’t give a pension to everyone
Some work for productive engagement of the brain, to remain mentally active
Some don’t have another choice and work out of helplessness
Some just can’t retire and take a back seat, so they’ll continue to boss around other family members
但并不是每个人都有这种机会奢侈。
许多老年人继续参与这样或那样的事情，除非他们身体不健康，无法四处走动。
有些人工作是为了赚钱，因为政府不给每个人养老金
有些工作是为了让大脑发挥作用，保持精神活跃
有些人别无选择，只能无奈地工作
有些人就是不能接受退休退居二线，所以他们会继续对其他家庭成员发号施令

With advances in medicine and awareness in people, most seniors are pretty fit in their 60s and wouldn’t want to bore themselves to death by turning into couch potatoes.
Even if they want to, it’s totally their choice.
随着医学的进步和人们意识的提高，大多数60多岁的老年人都很健康，他们不想无聊到死，变成沙发土豆。
即使他们想要，也完全是他们的选择。

Most 65 year olds can’t retire anymore. Most are active running businesses and taking care of families. The threshold of saving enough for retirement has changed, and most 30 year olds that think 65 year olds sit around on their asses are heading to a rude awakening. A great majority of successful businesses are run by people in their 70’s… and 80’s. Healthy older people who can actually take care of bullshit.
大多数65岁的老人现在都不能退休了。大多数人都在积极经营企业和照顾家庭。为退休攒够钱的门槛已经改变，大多数30岁的人认为65岁的人无所事事的观念正在猛然转变。大多数成功的企业都是由七八十岁的人经营的。健康的老人能解决好这些屁事。
Exactly True which is also happening with me……I am 72. I work with the same zeal as I was 55 and earn double of what I was in 55. Thanks to passion on profession, daily walk/physical exercise/yoga/breathing exercise/Meditation. And above all my family treat me with good value and take care of my nutritional food and other domestic needs.
完全正确，这也发生在我身上……我今年 72 岁。我的工作热情与我55岁时一样，但收入是 55岁时的两倍。感谢对职业的热情，每天散步/体育锻炼/瑜伽/呼吸锻炼 /冥想。最重要的是，我的家人非常重视我，照顾我的营养食品和其他家庭需求。
Good for your Dad, it's wonderful to see people engaged and happy in their 60’s!
I'm 66, this is my workshop. I purchased my house and outbuildings 6 weeks ago. The primary reason I chose this property is this huge building to use as a work area. I have plans to do so much, and I'm getting things put together a little a time. But if I didn't have a place to work and build things I'd wither and die. Retirement in my estimation is the opportunity in life to finally work for yourself, attaining YOUR goals!
真为你爸爸高兴，看到人们在60多岁的时候还沉浸在快乐中，真是太好了!
我66岁了，这是我的工作室。我六周前买了我的房子和附属建筑。我选择这个房产的主要原因是这个巨大的建筑用作工作区。我有很多计划要做，我正在把事情一点点地打理好。但如果我没有地方工作和建造东西，我就会枯萎和死亡。在我看来，退休之后是人生中最终为自己工作，实现自己目标的机会!
Aishwarya Kher to John Garasimowicz
Wow, this space looks awesome! So nice to know that you’re using your time well. Wishing you a very happy and fulfilling retirement.
哇，这个地方看起来真棒!很高兴知道你在好好利用时间。祝您退休后幸福美满。
I’m almost 70, lost my wife to cancer almost two years back. Stopped consulting five years ago to take care of my wife.
I play golf thrice a week, bridge online a few days a week. Read the newspaper and watch movies especially those I could not see in my younger days.
Try to stay physically and mentally active.
我快70岁了，我的妻子两年前死于癌症。为了照顾我妻子，五年前我就不再做顾问了。
我每周打三次高尔夫球，每周在网上打几天桥牌。读报，看电影，尤其是那些我年轻时看不到的电影。
试着保持身体和精神上的活跃。
How did your father get into management consulting? Is this work from home? I need some recommendations for my father too who can’t seem to relax!
你父亲是怎么进入管理咨询行业的?这是在家工作吗?我也需要一些建议给我的父亲，他似乎不能放松!

Hi Subha, thanks for asking. His friend already owned a management consultant firm so dad joined him right after retirement. His friend had contacts and got the projects and they worked together. Since covid he started taking independent projects as well. Most work is from home these days but since he is into industrial engineering, he visits the factories and company plants to assess.
嗨，Subha，谢谢提问。他的朋友已经拥有了一家管理咨询公司，所以爸爸退休后就加入了他。他的朋友有关系，拿到了项目，他们一起工作。自新冠流行以来，他也开始接受独立项目。如今，大多数工作都是在家进行的，但由于他从事的是工业工程，有时他会到工厂和公司工厂进行评估。
70s are new 40s now..
70多岁的人现在是40多岁了。
Right on! I have worked as an insurance agent for 46 years at the same company and still love what I do. Also I have played baseball not softball all my life on competitive teams and compete against age 50 and over players. I will turn 70 in a couple of weeks and God willing continue to do so! Stay busy do what you love and I manage my diabetes with exercise and one med and recent cardiology visit gave me a clean bill of health!
正确的!我在同一家公司做了46年的保险代理人，仍然热爱我的工作。此外，我一生都在有竞争力的球队中打棒球而不是垒球，与50岁以上的球员比赛。再过几个星期我就70岁了，上帝愿我继续活下去！保持忙碌，做你喜欢的事情，我通过锻炼和一种药物来控制我的糖尿病，最近的心脏病检查给了我一张不错的健康证明书!

My husband is 65 and I have not seen him change . He had to retire from his job as that was mandatory at 65. He still works as a consultant and his hobbies need him to be mentally and physically fit and so he works out. Our friends are also around the same age and I have not seen any one just sit and read the newspaper and be waited on. There are so many things to do and involved in! Of course, if one enjoys the newspaper reading, why not!! An individual choice.
我丈夫65岁了，我没有看到他有所改变。他不得不在65岁时退休，因为退休是强制性的。他仍然是一名顾问，他的爱好需要他保持精神和身体健康，所以他锻炼。我们的朋友年龄也差不多，我还没见过谁只是坐在那里看报纸，让人伺候。我们有很多事情要做，要参与！当然，如果一个人喜欢看报纸，为什么不呢！！这是个人的选择。
Exactly Sarit. The age for state pension in the UK is now 66. Fortunately my husband and I paid into private pensions so we always intended retiring at 66, two years ago. As it turned out our daughter had a baby just as I retired and her second baby a year later. We love retirement as we mind or see our grandchildren four times a week and it also makes the time away from them our own to do what we want, swimming and just relaxing reading the news. However, without those babies I probably would be bored in retirement.
正是，Sarit。在英国，领取国家养老金的年龄现在是66岁。幸运的是，我的丈夫和我缴纳了私人养老金，所以我们一直打算在66岁退休，那已经是两年前了。结果我们的女儿在我退休时生了孩子，一年后生了第二个孩子。我们喜欢退休生活，因为我们每周可以看到我们的孙子孙女四次，这也让我们有时间做自己想做的事情，游泳，放松地看新闻。然而，如果没有这些孩子，我退休后可能会感到无聊。
I went back to work ‘part time’. I enjoy working and I still have some time for voluntary work. The extra money comes in handy too and I haven’t had to dip into my Super yet. I live alone and would go balmy if I didn’t have something to do and a chance to meet people.
我回去做“兼职”工作。我喜欢工作，我甚至还有一些时间做志愿工作。额外的钱也派上了用场，我还没有动用我的储蓄。我一个人住，如果我没有事情做，也没有机会认识别人，我就会变得不正常·。
Good for him. My motto is keep working or you will send your brain to an early death. Working keeps you busy, occupied plus stimulates your mind. I will pray to God that I work till my last day.
为他感到高兴。我的座右铭是坚持工作，否则你会让你的大脑过早死亡。工作让你忙碌，还能刺激你的大脑。我会向上帝祈祷，让我工作到生命的最后一天。
The best way to keep lives of senior citizens happy is to give them two things - wonderful social interactions, and a sense of purpose.
If they had things to accomplish, they would, with their formidable knowledge and experience, be able to contribute massively!
Retiring people based on age is just ageless silliness.
让老年人生活幸福的最好办法是给他们两样东西——精彩的社交活动和目标感。
如果他们有事情要做，他们将以他们强大的知识和经验，能够做出巨大的贡献!
根据年龄让人退休永远是个愚蠢行为。

At 65, I still was working full time. Was able to retire at 66 with a full pension. I now am 71 and still do not sit around watching TV. Even during the pandemic lock-down, I exercised with various online videos, played with the dog, participated in board meetings via Zoom, and called older shut-ins to keep them from feeling socially isolated. Today, for example, I hosted a garden club meeting, attending a heart board meeting at lunch, and played bridge all afternoon. Very little on TV interests me although I enjoy shows like Ted Lasso, My Octopus Teacher, Tasting History and others. These usually are for after dinner when I wind down before bed. Doers tend to keep doing and passives tend to watch doers, regardless of their age.
在65岁的时候，我还在全职工作。66岁时领着全额养老金退休。我现在71岁了，仍然没有闲着看电视。即使在疫情封锁期间，我也会看各种在线视频锻炼身体，和狗狗玩耍，通过Zoom参加董事会会议，给那些闭关自守的老人打电话，让他们感觉不被社会孤立。例如，今天我主持了一个园艺俱乐部会议，午餐时参加了一个心脏委员会会议，整个下午都在打桥牌。虽然我喜欢《足球教练》、《我的章鱼老师》、《品尝历史》等节目，但我对电视节目很少感兴趣。这些通常是在晚饭后，当我在睡觉前放松下来的时候。实干家倾向于坚持做，而被动的人倾向于观察实干家，不管他们的年龄是多少。
Fortunately or unfortunately 85% of the old age population work even till last day of their death. Not everyone is lucky to be relaxing at home as money is not simple for anyone. Its always good to work and be involved in some work, seating idle will make you fall sick, more than anything spare your kids with their responsibilities as they have their own struggle to fight. Most Indian parents think their Sons are an future investment which is actually a curse. Stay fit and pray for peaceful death where you dont depend on others either for money or medical help.
幸运或不幸的是，85%的老年人甚至工作到他们死亡的最后一天。并不是每个人都幸运地在家放松，因为钱对任何人来说都不简单。工作和参与一些工作总是好的，懈怠会让你生病，最重要的是让你的孩子承担他们的责任，因为他们有属于自己的战斗。大多数印度父母认为他们的儿子是未来的投资，这实际上是一种诅咒。保持健康，祈祷平静的死亡，在那里你不依赖别人的金钱或医疗帮助。
