RETIREMENT – The Right Time to Retire
On Monday I visited my erstwhile institute DIAT Deemed University Pune to deliver a lecture. (I had been invited to deliver this inaugural lecture to a course I used to conduct earlier).
My former faculty colleagues were quite delighted to meet me and after seeing the enthusiastic and energetic manner in which I delivered my lecture and observing the excellent response from the audience, everyone asked me: “You are still in full form. Why did you retire?”
In reply, I told them this story.
The great cricketer Vijay Merchant who was at the peak of his cricketing career suddenly announced his retirement after scoring a century against England
Think about it. Is it time for you to retire? Or will you cling on to your job till people ask “WHY NOT?”

Maybe it's the fear of an uncertain future which discourages people from quitting while they're still ahead.
Great point, Vikram!
@ Vishipedia - You're right. Many are scared of what the future, so they hang on.
Good logic
Dear Sir: Thank you for your comment. Yes better to leave when you are missed than hang on till you are kicked out!
