Retire from the rat-race and delegate work to staff.  The earlier, the better.

Born at 27? Yes, you can be born again spiritually at any age when you realize what life is all about.
In civilian professions, born again might mean to transit from mediocre employee to top employee.
When contemplating switching careers, one has to pay attention that the new one will not bring the satisfaction the old profession failed to bring.  There is no such thing where somebody worked in an office for 30 years and now he wants to become a surgeon because operating heart transplants pays big.
Do what you like but show you came on top of it, or you did not actually like it enough to make it a success.  Never lie to yourself!

Most people never get born spiritually.  They have never been great and with time passing, the chances to become great decrease by the week or by the month.

Never in my entire life did I think about retirement.  Perhaps that was the road for me to walk on to come across a profession from which I never have to retire. Thanks God.

Hi there, 

1). What do you have in mind?

2). I knew of persons who get paid by corporations to think.  They used to go to office only when they had something to report. Now with e-mail not even going to office is required.

3). With cyber-trading, the attraction is that you think all the time and just watch the computer monitor from home.
The reality is that you have to "work" hard to change bad habits and destructive behavior because if you don't, they come back.
With me, because of cyber-trading related activities, I do not just sit and watch monitors.
I never worked in my entire life as hard as I do now.  First, for 38 years behind the Iron Curtain I could not work as much as I wanted to because everybody worked as Government employees, and then it took me years to realize how free I can really be.    Now I am free, so I work and think like never before ... 

Think of that chick Paris Hilton.
Don't no why she's famous but every time when I go online I see her face and an article about her with no any content.

People born to lead themselves in their own style...every human being has some extra ordinary things within him....those who knows it they does something extra ordinary , rest all they search...

Mind you, she does not even look good .... 

I get it: you referred to royalties.  If someone's work is genial, he gets royalties all the time.

All retirees die of boredom and regrets they did not do anything better with their life.  Their "life" had nothing to keep them excited and their guilty mind saps all their energy making them pass away earlier than they should.
I knew a nurse who told me she talked to 1,000+ of old, dying patients and ALL of them said they were having regrets for having not done more in life than whatever they did.

One rule which works 100% (meaning it has no exception) is that success by definition cannot (and does not have to) go to all mortals ...
To me, retirement, early or not, is success only when you consider that there are many folks who do not even reach retirement age. Other than that retirement, for me, is failure.  The last joke Destiny plays on someone.
I avoid talking to all the retirees I meet because there is absolutely nothing I could learn from them ... 

However, the guy who retired at 27 is an energizer for those who sail the waves of life directionless even if the ultimate goal is higher than retiring ...

What matters is if you are successful.
If being successful means to be among the first three marathon runners, the fastest hamburger eater or retiring at 27, so be it, but you must score.

Question: why be successful at all cost?  Why not just go with the flow?

Some Americans Can Retire Comfortably, A Lot Won't

It was so depend what you do.. some are really lucky but this is really rare.

Hello Cina,

Do not base your happy retirment on luck.
If you build it up, there are more chances of luck coming if you move towards success than the chances of it coming if you wander aimlessly.
Retirement is NOT the scope.  To me people who retire are a shame to themselves and their  retirement is another lie on top of the lies they lived all their life.

The scope, in MY opinion, is to find something from which never to actually retire. 

Retirement at a very early age implies getting rich first, and start a new project second, most likely on a better footing than the previois one.
Retirement at retirement age is what we all know to be.

Here is someone who thought she would retire but then reality forced her to think otherwise.

'IÂ’m never going to be able to retire.'


The stupids get flogged all the time.
First, they dislike everything. They ARE the naysayers.

Second, they always talk back just to cover the fact that they have no talent whatsoever, and that their pockets have holes, but not cash.
No matter what you tell them, they want at all cost to seem to know better.

Third, they grow old with nothing to show. They must go back to work in menial jobs because no real good job is available to them.
And when they go out to apply for that shameful job, they find out that there are many other people waiting in line ready to make the same desolate compromise ...

For great men, there is a saying 'a life well spent'.
Did you notice that for men who are not great, there is no saying?
