18th July meeting in Hong Kong
A well respected Japanese researcher on gerontology has commented that 'retirement shold be delayed for as long as possible'. Studies on his part as well as many other studies have shown that people in general should keep their mental and physical faculties as active as possible and for as long as possible.
This is a photo recently taken in Hong Kong with my long time friend and mentor, Frank Rigley, who is based in Bremen Germany. He flew all the way to Hong Kong for a meeting with some Chinese manufacturers and initiated by me. He will be 75 this year and he epitomises the phrase "healthy mind in a healthy body" or the latin phrase Mens sana in corpore Sano (ASICS Shoes tagline)
Keep active, be it minding the grandchildren, doing taichi, martial arts, line dancing, church or religious group activities, club, condo or town council committees make yourself useful. Be engaged in society even after life's setbacks - and there are and will be many - and you are on your way to your own success.
