MY BEST IS YET TO COME
After winning Oscar award, Performer A.R. Rehman reveals, “Today is the beginning of my career.”
At any age of life always think that “MY BEST IS YET TO COME”. Bollywood hero Amitabh Bachan is still performing at the age of 66 years dynamically when usually people get retired at this age. His work is his meditation. How can anybody retire from his work? At the age of 60, Aussies show jumper Laurie Lever
At the age of 60, Laurie Lever has made his debut in the equestrian event of Beijing Olympics as the showjumper representing Australia. At the age of 80, Ray Moon is still participating in the world’s best body building competition. My grandmother, not to be taken out of this category, is still at the age of 76 awakes at 4:30 AM for spiritual development.
Life is an opportunity to perform at any age and to create wonders every day.
Let our grandson feel that his grandfather had a wonderful way of working and is yet creating his best.
I am now 76 years old and could easily retire. But, I have not taken retirement and even I don’t plan to retire. I don’t believe in retirement. People usually ask me: Why have you not taken retirement? Simply, I have a life motto – “Live life always in action”
Living life with action to me means that most of my important work is always ahead of me, never behind me. I believe that “Where much is given, much is required.” I have a sacred stewardship to contribute and not yet to retire to leisure. Also, the greatest way to serve my 50 grandkids is not just to love them and tend to their interests and needs but to set an example as a person who is constantly making a difference in the world.
Start living your life in action and remember your most important work is ahead of you, not behind you. There is so much more to do, to learn and to contribute to the world in the betterment of humanity while filling their lives with joy and happiness.
