“Given that more than 90% of workers are no longer engaged in heavy physical work, it is unlikely that everyone will retire as young as 67, put their brains into neutral and invite a shorter life as a result. Part-time work and/or a change of career are more likely.” – Phil Ruthven, Chairman IBISWorld, BRW, 2 July ‘09
Reinvent• Your ideas – “I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die
at 110, shot by a jealous husband.” Thurgood Marshall 1908-1993, American Judge
• Your self-image– “We are not ‘senior citizens’ or ‘golden agers’, we are the elders, the
experienced ones; we are maturing growing adults responsible for the survival of our society. We are not wrinkled babies, succumbing to trivial, purposeless waste of our years and our time.” Maggie Kuhn, founder of Grey Panthers
• Your career – “The most successful people are those who do all year long what they
would otherwise do on their summer vacation.” Mark Twain
