One way ticket...

How do we use this one-way ticket?

A single teacher, not tied down with her husband and children. Her retirement days are “updated” daily on her personal page: one day she sits with a group of friends for coffee; one day she goes to pagodas to help with charity work; one day she rolls up her sleeves with charity clubs or donors to cook and distribute free meals to the elderly, the needy, orphans...

On another personal page of a retired civil servant, there are pictures of fresh orchids, cucumber vines laden with fruit, many types of plump "homegrown" fruits... All are the results of her meticulous daily care.

That is the different way of each person when owning a one-way ticket. If before, traveling with friends and relatives was a cycle of excitement at the beginning, enjoying while traveling and a bit... boredom when returning to start doing the duties; now, retirees will not have to worry about that return. No longer worrying about going to work every day with a myriad of tasks, when retired we can find many ways to renew ourselves and enjoy life in our own way.

Surely, many people will think that when they retire, life will be boring and dull. This is partly true, because everyone has their own biological clock: before, every morning, everyone is used to the work cycle, this plan, that business trip... However, we can completely "adjust" the clock in our own way. Spend time meeting friends, traveling, or simply making appointments to find places with beautiful "views" to check-in, pet lovers can find themselves a puppy, a cat to take care of... New hobbies that fill the time that many people think is empty and empty will certainly help people improve their quality of life. There are also women in the family who feel happy when returning to the task of housework, taking care of children, and looking after grandchildren so that their children have time to strive in society. That is also the peaceful joy of many people. Of course, on the other hand, children also need to create conditions and encourage their grandparents and parents to spend time on their own hobbies, sometimes traveling with a group of friends or traveling with family to enjoy an interesting destination together, find a space to relax and have fun through the trips...

Retired people's yoga, table tennis, chess, etc. groups are also a fun playground that brings good health, helping everyone's mind to always be optimistic and love life.

Retirement is a one-way ticket to relaxation. Knowing how to choose happiness for yourself and adjusting your biological clock appropriately will certainly help those who own this ticket enjoy the happiest and healthiest life at their age.
