Before Retirements: Why Mentoring is Needed

Aging Gracefully

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” HENRY FORD.

Don’t let the aging process get you down. As Abraham Lincoln once said, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” So, get out of that recliner and start living!

Get involved in social activities, spend quality time with loved ones, share your experience with new generations, listen to them, and admire their thoughts. I firmly believe those who live in the learning process never grow old. IRFAN RIZVI
