Recently, Prof Dr. Bidin shared a profound WhatsApp message with me, which he had received from someone else. It deeply resonated and offered wisdom for our journey through life.
This heartfelt message, shared by Prof Dr. Bidin, highlights three significant stages: from leaving the workplace, to societal withdrawal, and eventually family distancing. It encourages senior citizens to cherish friendships, live happily, and appreciate the journey of life.
First Camp: 58 to 65 years
In this phase, the workplace gradually moves away from you. Regardless of past successes, youll be seen as an ordinary person. Its crucial not to cling to the identity of your previous job or business.

Second Camp: 65 to 72 years
At this stage, societys engagement with you lessens. Your circle of friends and colleagues shrinks, and youre no longer recognized in your old professional circles. Avoid dwelling on "I was..." statements because the younger generation won’t relate, and that’s okay!

Third Camp: 72 to 77 years
Here, even family may seem distant. Though surrounded by children and grandchildren, youll often find yourself with just your partner or alone. Appreciate their occasional visits as expressions of love, not neglect.

Eventually, the earth itself will prepare to take you back. This is a universal path, so dont be saddened or grieve; embrace it with peace and fulfillment.

Embracing Happiness
The message encourages us to live life to the fullest while we can. Eat, drink, play, and pursue what makes you happy. After 58, form a group of friends and stay connected. Share stories, laugh, and cherish these moments.
