VERSATILITY IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP ONESELF FIT AND YOUNG. 1. WE GENERALLY EXERCISE ONE PROESSION AND WHEN WE RETIRE, WE FEEL JOBLESS AND BROOD UPON UTILITY OF OUR LIFE AND HOW TO LEAD SUCH A LIFE BECOMES PROBLEMATIC. 2. COULD ALL THOSE WHO RETIRE GET VERSATILE, I WILL SAY YES WHILE MANY WILL SAY NO. 3. LIFE GIVES EXPERIENCES - PROFESSIONAL, RELATIONSHIPS, FAMILIAL, SUCCESSES AND FAILURES, SHOCKS, WOES AND HAPPINESS ETC. ETC. 4. THE MOMENT ONE MAKES UP ONE'S MIND, NOT TO IDLE AWAY ONE'S TIME, ONE DIRECTS ONE'S ENERGIES TO VARIOUS DIRECTIONS AND AS SUCH FINDS THE WAY THAT SUITS HIM/HER THE BEST. 5. TO REMAIN BUSY IS ESSENTIAL TO ENLIVEN ONE'S LIFE TO LIVE LONGER, FIT AND HAPPY AND IF NOT, RECONCILED AT LEAST. 6. AS FOR MY EXPERIENCE GOES, I HAVE TRAVERSED VERSATILITY BEYOND MY IMAGINATION FROM MECHANIC TO STUDIES MA, MBA, FROM WORKER TO OWNER/ENTREPRENEURE AND AFTER RETIREMENT, TOOK TO WRITING AND THIS WRITING EXPERIENCE HAS TAKEN ME TO THINK OF SOCIAL WORK AND AS SUCH I HAVE EMBARKED ON MARRIAGE BUREAU CALLED MARRIAGE GUIDANCE NEW CONCEPT. 6. THIS WRITING PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE HAS LEAD ME TO WRITE AND GET PUBLISHED CERTAIN BOOKS TITLED 1. MARRIAGE ENCYCLOPEDIA 2. PRE-MARRIAGE EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE 3. AND NOW IN PUBLICATION IS: FAMILY PROBLEMS AND ANSWERS. 7. LIKEWISE, I THINK EVERYONE CAN BECOME VERSATILE IF ONE WISHES FOR AND ACTS UPON. 8. UNDOUBTEDLY EACH AND EVERYONE GAINS EXPERIENCE DURING ONE'S LIFE AND WHEN ONE RETIRES, AFTER A FEW DAYS OR A FEW MONTHS ONE GETS FREE AND DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SPEND THE TIME, WHOLE DAY BECOMES TAXING, RECALLING PAST, PRESENT, SUCCESSES AND FAILURES ETC. 7. SINCE AFTER RETIREMENT, EACH ONE GETS LOT OF TIME AND DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SPEND IT. THUS HEREAFTER LIES THE ANSWER IN VERSATILITY. 8. IT IS SAID ONE CAN TUNE ONESELF AS THE CIRCUMSTANCES DEMAND AND TAKE CERTAIN ACTIVITIES WHICH ONE WAS NEVER USED TO. 9. HENCE AFTER RETIREMENT, SOME CAN TAKE TO WRITING, TEACHING, LEARNING AND ENGAGING IN SOME ACTIVITIES WHICH ONE PERHAPS COULD NOT DO BEING TOO MUCH BUSY IN WORK, LEARN MUSIC, DANCE ETC. AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS, THE MOMENT ONE DECIDES THAT ONE IS NOT TO REMAIN IDLE AND THE MOMENT ONE MAKES UP ONE'S MIND TO USE THE DAY IN SOME ACTIVITY OR THE OTHER, ONE CAN THINK OF CERTAIN ACTIVITIES WHICH ONE HAD NOT EVEN THOUGHT OF, SURPISINGLY BASED ON ONE'S EXPERIENCE, WILL AND AS PER REQUIREMENT OF THE HOUR, ONE CAN ADAPT TO THOSE SITUATIONS AND GET BUSY, MAYBE ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT FROM THE ACTIVITIES ONE HAS BEEN EXERCISING DURING HIS/JHER ACTIVE LIFE. 10. IN CONCLUSION, IF ONE BELIEVES IN VERSATILITY, ONE WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO TAKE UP ACTIVITIES MANY A TIME NOT RELATED TO HIS/HER PROFESSION, EXPERIENCE ETC. BUT AS THERE IS KEENNESS AND WILLINGNESS TO REMAIN BUSY AND PURPOSEFUL, ONE WILL SURELY ADAPT ONESELF TO THE GIVEN SITUATIONS AND AS SUCH REMAIN BUSY. VERSALITY AS SUCH INVOLVES WILLLINGNESS, WORKING ON ONE'S EXPERIENCE, CHECK UP AS WHAT IS NEEDED IN THE ARE OF ONE'S LIVING ETC. ONE CAN ADAPT TO THE NEEDS OF THE HOUR AND INVEST ONESELF FOR THE SOCIAL CAUSE MAYBE IN EDUCATING THE CHILDREN, HELPING POOR AND ILLITERATE ONES IN HANDLING THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE WORK, ENGAGE IN CONSULTATIONS RELATED TO BUSINESS, FAMILY PROBLEMS ETC. AND/OR TAKING TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES CITED ABOVE. THUS VERSATILE MEANS ADAPTING ONESELF TO DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES WHAT ONE HAS BEEN PRACTISING BEFORE RETIRMENT. ............................................................................ written by vasdevloond founder of marriage guidance new concept NGO to contact vasdevloond 9811943867 vasdevloond@gmail.com www.facebook.com
