I found some great notes about work-life and retirement, so I think I’m just going to post it here as a self reminder.

• Go home. Don’t stick at work all year, you are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue.
• Don’t chase promotion. Master your skill and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that’s fine.. if they don’t, stay positive to your personal development.
• Avoid office gossip.
• Save some money, let it be deducted automatically from your payslip.
• Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation, not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.
• Keep your life, marriage and family private. This is very important.
• Start a project while still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn’t do well, start another one till it’s running viably.
• Pension money is not for starting a project or building a house but it’s money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health.
• Retire when you’re still healthy and energetic.
• Don’t hate to retire because one day you will retire either voluntarily or involuntarily.
