Most studies on longevity confirm that stretching yourself and feeling valued is just as important in retirement as it is when you are working. “You don’t work for money, you work because you have a purpose and can still have impact.” “Retirement is an opportunity to do what you love to do and on your own terms,” said Kaisri Nuengsigkapian, who retired as CEO of KPMG here in Thailand in 2015. It involves learning and growing mentally, physically and spiritually throughout your whole life. Being challenged means having a purpose and finding meaning in what you do. The trick is to keep yourself challenged. Moreover, the dilemma is what do you do between the times you are traveling and enjoying yourself?
