We should always look upon ourselves as God's servants placed in God's world to do his work and accordingly labour faithfully for him not with a design to grow rich and great but to glorify God and do all the good we possibly can.
I just see too many people retire and say 'I'm going to take off travel spend time with my family' and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active and like what they are doing live longer.
