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.
我父親快65歲了。
實際上，他認(rèn)為他可以坐在家里，吃飯，睡覺，看電視，試過了，但結(jié)果證明太無聊了，他從未預(yù)料到幾年后會發(fā)生什么。
所以退休后，他充分利用自己的知識和經(jīng)驗，開始做管理顧問。他不時在印度西部和南部接手項目，并在需要時旅行。
除此之外，他喜歡坐在陽光明媚的陽臺上的搖椅上看報紙。

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.
他的日程安排相當(dāng)輕松，直到去年，不幸的是，我的奶奶和媽媽一個接一個地失去了工作能力。即使雇了幫手，我們對他的依賴也沒有消失。
在他這個年紀(jì)，他會換尿布，在護(hù)士休假時清洗尿布，做美味的飯菜，管理家庭，承擔(dān)一些日?，嵤拢Ц顿~單，購物，還有很多。
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.
我盡可能多地幫助他處理與網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)相關(guān)的事情，任何遠(yuǎn)在半個地球之外也能做的事情。他現(xiàn)在可能比我更對食譜和廚房感興趣。
我希望他能坐下來，放松一下，看看電視，享受他輝煌的職業(yè)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
但并不是每個人都有這種機(jī)會奢侈。
許多老年人繼續(xù)參與這樣或那樣的事情，除非他們身體不健康，無法四處走動。
有些人工作是為了賺錢，因為政府不給每個人養(yǎng)老金
有些工作是為了讓大腦發(fā)揮作用，保持精神活躍
有些人別無選擇，只能無奈地工作
有些人就是不能接受退休退居二線，所以他們會繼續(xù)對其他家庭成員發(fā)號施令

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.
隨著醫(yī)學(xué)的進(jìn)步和人們意識的提高，大多數(shù)60多歲的老年人都很健康，他們不想無聊到死，變成沙發(fā)土豆。
即使他們想要，也完全是他們的選擇。

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.
大多數(shù)65歲的老人現(xiàn)在都不能退休了。大多數(shù)人都在積極經(jīng)營企業(yè)和照顧家庭。為退休攢夠錢的門檻已經(jīng)改變，大多數(shù)30歲的人認(rèn)為65歲的人無所事事的觀念正在猛然轉(zhuǎn)變。大多數(shù)成功的企業(yè)都是由七八十歲的人經(jīng)營的。健康的老人能解決好這些屁事。

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.
完全正確，這也發(fā)生在我身上……我今年 72 歲。我的工作熱情與我55歲時一樣，但收入是 55歲時的兩倍。感謝對職業(yè)的熱情，每天散步/體育鍛煉/瑜伽/呼吸鍛煉 /冥想。最重要的是，我的家人非常重視我，照顧我的營養(yǎng)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!
真為你爸爸高興，看到人們在60多歲的時候還沉浸在快樂中，真是太好了!
我66歲了，這是我的工作室。我六周前買了我的房子和附屬建筑。我選擇這個房產(chǎn)的主要原因是這個巨大的建筑用作工作區(qū)。我有很多計劃要做，我正在把事情一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)地打理好。但如果我沒有地方工作和建造東西，我就會枯萎和死亡。在我看來，退休之后是人生中最終為自己工作，實現(xiàn)自己目標(biāo)的機(jī)會!
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，這個地方看起來真棒!很高興知道你在好好利用時間。祝您退休后幸福美滿。
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歲了，我的妻子兩年前死于癌癥。為了照顧我妻子，五年前我就不再做顧問了。
我每周打三次高爾夫球，每周在網(wǎng)上打幾天橋牌。讀報，看電影，尤其是那些我年輕時看不到的電影。
試著保持身體和精神上的活躍。
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!
你父親是怎么進(jìn)入管理咨詢行業(yè)的?這是在家工作嗎?我也需要一些建議給我的父親，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，謝謝提問。他的朋友已經(jīng)擁有了一家管理咨詢公司，所以爸爸退休后就加入了他。他的朋友有關(guān)系，拿到了項目，他們一起工作。自新冠流行以來，他也開始接受獨(dú)立項目。如今，大多數(shù)工作都是在家進(jìn)行的，但由于他從事的是工業(yè)工程，有時他會到工廠和公司工廠進(jìn)行評估。
70s are new 40s now..
70多歲的人現(xiàn)在是40多歲了。

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!
正確的!我在同一家公司做了46年的保險代理人，仍然熱愛我的工作。此外，我一生都在有競爭力的球隊中打棒球而不是壘球，與50歲以上的球員比賽。再過幾個星期我就70歲了，上帝愿我繼續(xù)活下去！保持忙碌，做你喜歡的事情，我通過鍛煉和一種藥物來控制我的糖尿病，最近的心臟病檢查給了我一張不錯的健康證明書!
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歲了，我沒有看到他有所改變。他不得不在65歲時退休，因為退休是強(qiáng)制性的。他仍然是一名顧問，他的愛好需要他保持精神和身體健康，所以他鍛煉。我們的朋友年齡也差不多，我還沒見過誰只是坐在那里看報紙，讓人伺候。我們有很多事情要做，要參與！當(dāng)然，如果一個人喜歡看報紙，為什么不呢??！這是個人的選擇。

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。在英國，領(lǐng)取國家養(yǎng)老金的年齡現(xiàn)在是66歲。幸運(yùn)的是，我的丈夫和我繳納了私人養(yǎng)老金，所以我們一直打算在66歲退休，那已經(jīng)是兩年前了。結(jié)果我們的女兒在我退休時生了孩子，一年后生了第二個孩子。我們喜歡退休生活，因為我們每周可以看到我們的孫子孫女四次，這也讓我們有時間做自己想做的事情，游泳，放松地看新聞。然而，如果沒有這些孩子，我退休后可能會感到無聊。
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“兼職”工作。我喜歡工作，我甚至還有一些時間做志愿工作。額外的錢也派上了用場，我還沒有動用我的儲蓄。我一個人住，如果我沒有事情做，也沒有機(jī)會認(rèn)識別人，我就會變得不正常·。

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.
為他感到高興。我的座右銘是堅持工作，否則你會讓你的大腦過早死亡。工作讓你忙碌，還能刺激你的大腦。我會向上帝祈禱，讓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.
讓老年人生活幸福的最好辦法是給他們兩樣?xùn)|西——精彩的社交活動和目標(biāo)感。
如果他們有事情要做，他們將以他們強(qiáng)大的知識和經(jīng)驗，能夠做出巨大的貢獻(xiàn)!
根據(jù)年齡讓人退休永遠(yuǎn)是個愚蠢行為。
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歲的時候，我還在全職工作。66歲時領(lǐng)著全額養(yǎng)老金退休。我現(xiàn)在71歲了，仍然沒有閑著看電視。即使在疫情封鎖期間，我也會看各種在線視頻鍛煉身體，和狗狗玩耍，通過Zoom參加董事會會議，給那些閉關(guān)自守的老人打電話，讓他們感覺不被社會孤立。例如，今天我主持了一個園藝俱樂部會議，午餐時參加了一個心臟委員會會議，整個下午都在打橋牌。雖然我喜歡《足球教練》、《我的章魚老師》、《品嘗歷史》等節(jié)目，但我對電視節(jié)目很少感興趣。這些通常是在晚飯后，當(dāng)我在睡覺前放松下來的時候。實干家傾向于堅持做，而被動的人傾向于觀察實干家，不管他們的年齡是多少。
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.
幸運(yùn)或不幸的是，85%的老年人甚至工作到他們死亡的最后一天。并不是每個人都幸運(yùn)地在家放松，因為錢對任何人來說都不簡單。工作和參與一些工作總是好的，懈怠會讓你生病，最重要的是讓你的孩子承擔(dān)他們的責(zé)任，因為他們有屬于自己的戰(zhàn)斗。大多數(shù)印度父母認(rèn)為他們的兒子是未來的投資，這實際上是一種詛咒。保持健康，祈禱平靜的死亡，在那里你不依賴別人的金錢或醫(yī)療幫助。
