CW,
ReplyDeleteMy take away from reading the article:
1. No one can tell a business owner when to "retire" ;)
2. When we can do whatever we love to do, why retire? What's age got to do with anything?
3. Master to cat, "I want you to move here...Come boy." Cat just meowed, "Nope, I like it here, you go without me."
4. That's why so many seek financial freedom in our community - can say "You go without me" :)
Employees are just corporate assets as part of cost cutting tools for right sizing or right costing. Can last till 79 drawing salary is damn rare!
ReplyDeleteUncle..I genuinely don't get what you wanna share...what is the lesson of this story? Care to explain in a bit more words on your point of view?
ReplyDeleteYou also mentioned (in the title) that it doesn't matter who you are. Doesn't matter to who? Yourself? Family? Friends? Or...?
He is a rare talent in Singapore; but I think he didn't make it when RSP was bought over by Rowsley and went through restructuring and finally pushed to the edge; he then realized at 79 to be fully in control of own destiny when we love our job so much, one has to be business owner.
DeleteSame as my ex GCTO who loves his job so much; works so late and doesn't want to retire; but at 67 no choice still has to retire!
Business owner can love their job forever; but not employees no matter who they are. Rare talent or paid CEO. Company one day may not love them!
