Three Pointers in Life That Tell Me Retiring Is Not An Option

Since I decided to pursue my dream, I’ve spent each day and many long nights building Strawberry Green Productions. A boots-strapped start-up Independent Film Production Company, which has made retiring impossible. The notion of contemplating retirement and not being part of this thing, our mission, is just not an option. Not leading the sorties as we attempt to make those little dents into opportunities that make a difference, offering individuals a helping hand onto the first rung of the ladder in what is possibly the most notoriously difficult and competitive mad cutthroat industry is what I’m all about. Welcome to my charmed and beautiful life — and my only regret. I wish I’d had the cajones to start living it sooner! <h2>According to Wikipedia</h2> <blockquote> Retirement is the withdrawal from one’s position or occupation or from one’s active working life. A person may also semi-retire by reducing work hours or workload. Many people choose to retire when they are elderly or incapable of doing their job due to health reasons. People may also retire when they are eligible for private or public pension benefits, although some are forced to retire when bodily conditions no longer allow the person to work any longer or as a result of legislation concerning their positions. In most countries, the idea of retirement is of recent origin, being introduced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Previously, low life expectancy, lack of social security, and the absence of pension arrangements meant that most workers continued to work until their death. Germany was the first country to introduce retirement benefits in 1889. </blockquote> To reach my retirement decision, or rather the decision not to retire but to work until I drop, was yet another indicator for some of my peers that I was not all there in the head. Guilty once again for being a bit of a dreamer and coming up with another dumb, idiotic idea. <a href="https://medium.com/crows-feet/three-pointers-in-life-that-tell-me-retiring-is-not-an-option-c06ca921f3f9">Learn More</a>
