1) You are no longer popular in your
office.
2) Avoid going to your former office

without invitation. Where it’s abso-
lutely necessary inform an officer of

your visit so that you can be received.
3) Know that not everyone liked
you while at work & so now have an
opportunity to snob you.
4) Keep in touch with your course
mates as you grow in retirement
because some Pharaohs in Egypt may
not know your Joseph.
5) Attend celebration of course
mates. Its always a reunion with lots
of fun.
6) Only a few of the people you
assisted (including family members)
will come around to see you often. To
others you have nothing to offer.
7)Plan your days & follow your plan.
Sometimes when you look at your
uniform with all the medals, you have
a feeling of emptiness. Get yourself

occupied.
8) Traveling is great, visit places of
interest and enjoy your travels.
9) Eat right, enjoy your meals but
down on excessive consumption of
alcohol, sugar, salt, fats and oils.
10) Do your medical check-up even
when you feel healthy.

Enjoy your retirement.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Build your own house where you
will live in your old age.
Build businesses that will feed you
in your old age.
Create conveniences that will engage
you in your old age.
Build friendship and goodwill that

will serve you in your old age.
Right now, start to be relevant in

your mosque or Church and commu-
nity so you could be reckoned with in

your old age.

  • Old age could be very lonely and
    agonising for men/women who did
    not plan for it.
  • May you not become a liability on

your children in your old age.

  • May your children not wish you an
    early death when they can’t manage
    you again in your old age.
    An old age without penny in your
    pocket is a slow, agonising death
    sentence!
    Be warned now…!
    There are three categories of people
    you cannot do without as we are
    growing older, your family, people in
    your place of worship and childhood
    friends, who include your Old School
    mates.
    Friends, take it or live it, at 60 and
    above, loneliness kills because the
    children you are working hard for
    now will go their way to raise their
    own immediate families and pursue
    their own destinies, just as we did
    now.
    At that time it’s these people in these
    3- categories that take away loneliness
    and keep your company.
    At 50 years and above, you have 10
    to 15 or 20 years of active working
    life.

Respect friendship and value rela-
tionship.
