Based on work from Professor Mary Dean Lee from the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.
‘#4: Make a Difference
Make more than financial contributions to society. What philanthropic pursuits can you turn to?
“When you expect to live much longer, in better mental and physical health, the idea of shelving your expertise in retirement no longer makes sense,” Professor Lee says.
“Retirement is not an end but a beginning – an opportunity to experiment and explore, to engage in pursuits you value, and perhaps to reinvent our legacy.”’
My thought: I am a big fan of adult learning and personal development. It is also important to remain an active contributing and engaging member of the society even into retirement.
