Your Second Life

Americans are increasingly concerned about their retirement years. The Japanese have a different approach to the retirement phase of life. Rather than using the word ‘retirement’ to define the final stage of life, Japanese has the concept of “Second Life,” which is the period of time in your life when your family responsibilities have changed and you can focus on your ‘inner peace’. It is a time for getting closer to your soul and dispensing your wisdom to benefit younger generations, and even those your age or older. I rather like this concept. Don't you?

  • of course, this real good, wish my country can borrow this 2.

    in Nigeria retirement is rather a nite mare for public workers, apart frm the fact dat the money paid them is peanuts,it is nt even paid as at when due, the result is that even after the so called retirement, they hv to do one form of wrk or another 2 make ends mmet. it is really sad.
