Our country is also a part of it. We happily call this ageing generation our seniors. The increase in the numbers of these seniors projects many challenges in the social, economic, political and financial fields that ultimately affect various aspects of society. Though Government agencies offer many schemes for the benefit of seniors, yet they are very limited. Their benefits reach a smaller group of such people. The main issues faced by seniors are: (a) They do not get proper work to remain busy. (b) Their health care is costly. (c) Younger generation does not attend them as they wish. Seniors think that they give more benefits and support to the society and their family in comparision to what they are returned with. Such type of thoughts develops frustration in them which is not good for their health. It has been observed that the seniors, who live active life style, do not grow old quickly, but they live happily. Let us listen to the seniors, not because they are always right, but because they have more experience of being wrong. : Dr. D.K. Sinha T ..the seniors, who live active life style, do not grow old quickly.. Educationist

A vuqHko 2023 S E N I O R C I T I Z E N S W E L F A R E S O C I E T Y Page 27 Steve Jobes’ On Our Making s a rule of thumb: You may read thousands of books in your life, but there will only be a few that deeply change the way you think. The same applies to ideas and content more broadly. Steve Jobs' in 2005 gave a speech at Stanford University which is supposed to be a legendry one. I am writing some lessons learnt from this speech: (1) Independent thinking is a rare superpower of the modern age. (2) To carve your own path in your career or life you have to develop your own views. You can't be constrained by the way things have always been done by the false tradeoffs or base assumptions that others have told you to believe. (3) Learn to question the basis of anything that doesn't feel right to you. A Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living some one else’s life Educationist

A vuqHko 2023 S E N I O R C I T I Z E N S W E L F A R E S O C I E T Y Page 28 (4) Don't chart your course through life based on someone else's map. (5) Curiosity can be your guide but only if you embrace it. (6) It's hard to predict, but when you pursue learning with genuine, inspired curiosity, good things tend to happen. It's a mysterious and powerful force one you should always have on your side. (7) We are just a series of "dots" moments, decisions, successes, and failures. Our lives are the line that connects through them having faith in these dots. (8) When you are fired from a position, think back to how you felt as a beginner. Metaphorically or literally, go back to the starting line. (9) In your career (and life), if you have the luxury of choice, never settle for less than love. (10) Life is simultaneously both very long and very short. Many of us ignore the shortness of life. (11) Our time is finite, but we often fail to recognize it until it's too late.

A vuqHko 2023 S E N I O R C I T I Z E N S W E L F A R E S O C I E T Y Page 29 (12) Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. (13) Don’t care for the World. The world wants you to be normal and play by the rules. You have to fight consistently and diligently to maintain your uniqueness. : Prof TNS Mathur

A vuqHko 2023 S E N I O R C I T I Z E N S W E L F A R E S O C I E T Y Page 32 Life’s Unending Journey e senior citizens have trudged through travails of life in the past 6-8 decades. Every one of us has met the three stages of our life: Childhood, Youth and the present Old Age. There are four Stages of Elimination in Life. At 60, the workplace eliminates us. No matter how successful or powerful we were during our career. We returned back home as an ordinary person. So, we should not cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from our past job. Let leave our ego, otherwise our sense of ease will be lost! At 70, society gradually eliminates us. The friends and colleagues we used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes at our former workplace. So, we should not say, "I used to be..." or "I was once..." because the younger generation does not know us, otherwise we shall start feeling uncomfortable about that! At 80, family slowly eliminates us. Even if we have many children and grandchildren, most of the time we shall be living with our spouse or by ourself. When the children visit occasionally, it's an expression of W Finance Consultant

A vuqHko 2023 S E N I O R C I T I Z E N S W E L F A R E S O C I E T Y Page 33 affection, so we should not blame them for coming less often, as they're busy with their own lives! At around 90, the Earth wants to eliminate us. Some of the people we knew have already departed forever. At this point, we should not be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path! Therefore, while our bodies are capable, let us live life to the fullest! Eat what we want, drink what we desire, play and do the things we love. Remember, the only thing that won't eliminate us is the Whatsapp group. So, let us communicate more in the group, say a hello to everyone, and keep our presence being happy with no regrets! We must pass the lessons learnt from our parents to our children i.e., new generations so that they can face challenges boldly. There was a time when we mostly lived in big houses and in joint families. Males were mostly the earning members. Sense of attachment was prevaiong in the whole family. Time changed. Houses were converted into apartments. Both the husband & the wife started working to run the family and that is the nuclear family of husband, wife and children. Children were left to the maids for looking after when their parents were out of home. We must pass the lessons learnt from our parents to our children… so that they can face challenges boldly

A vuqHko 2023 S E N I O R C I T I Z E N S W E L F A R E S O C I E T Y Page 34 But blessings are still showering where Senior citizens are looking after their grand children being with their parents. There is no problem whether children’s parents are at home or at office. All the responsibilities are born by these great grand people. The benefit is that the whole family works jointly and enjoys all types of happiness. I can say from my experience that so long we senior citizens are fit to look after our children and grand children; we must take responsibility of looking after the younger generation and teach them good things from our experience. We should not forget that unless the present generation has a good backup and support in the form of property, investments and parental financial support, survival is very difficult. We should contain peace in us, and avoid stress as much as possible. We must keep walking, meditating, and attending religious discourses to avoid the old age diseases and problems. Our works should reflect our learnedness, education and we should not be stamped as someone’s digital friend only.

Let’s all pray for peace and tranquility in the country and enjoy fresh air and good sunlight every day. : Shri PK Mukherjee

As I sat down, I asked one of the boys, what the score was! With a smile, he replied; they are leading us 3-0! And I said, really!! I told, but you don't look discouraged. "Discouraged?" the boy asked with a puzzled look! He further continued, why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle? I have confidence in the team and the managers; we shall definitely overcome! Amazingly, the match ended 5-4 in favour of the boy's team! He waved at me gently, with a beautiful smile as he left. I was surprising on his confidence, and beautiful faith! I came back home and on the bed that night, his question kept coming back to me: "Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle?" Certainly, Life appears like a game. Why should we be discouraged? O Coal India Officer

A vuqHko 2023 S E N I O R C I T I Z E N S W E L F A R E S O C I E T Y Page 40 Why should we be discouraged when final whistle has not sounded? We should not blow the final whistle ourselves! As long as there is life, nothing is impossible and it is never too late for us to do anything. Let us be encouraged ever! : Shri Govind Kumar

He left the classroom of children as the fish flipped-flopped around telling them that if anyone left their seat, they would be expelled. All the children sat back and watched as that fish flipped-flopped, gasping for air, not wanting to get up in order to avoid getting in trouble. Finally, a girl sprang up from her seat & ran to the fish, placing it back in the water bowl. Ultimately, she was the only one who refused to watch the fish die. When the teacher returned, he told the class that this was a lesson! The fear of getting in trouble should never stop you from doing what's right and that sometimes, you may have to oppose authority and group thinking, simply because it's the right thing to do. : Dr. DK Sinha O Educationist
