Finance Investment - How to Avoid a Miserable Retirement
Title : "How to Avoid a Miserable Retirement".Finance Investment,Recreation Leisure,Self Improvement How to Avoid a Miserable Retirement by: Alan Bernstein, Psychotherapist and Career Counselor John Trauth, Strategic and Financial Planner Authors of “Your Retirement, Your Way “McGraw-Hill, 2007) You’ve spent years dreaming of retirement, the things you’ll do, the places you’ll see. So why now, after a year into retirement, do you feel vague, unfocussed—even miserable? Statistically, you’re almost in the majority of retirees. Almost half the population felt happier when they were working. The truth is, people need to feel a sense of purpose. Without it they are rudderless, and eventually miserable. How do we find our sense of purpose? Do we have to return to full-time work to feel useful? Not necessarily. The truth is, you can find the answers by examining your own personality and experiences. Here is how we recommend exploring yourself in our book, “Your Retirement, Your Way.” Remember when you were asked to do something and you weren't sure you could do it? In the process of accomplishing the task -- and it can be anything, not necessarily work -- you lost all track of time. These timeless events have a connection to our core interests, which are what we love to do, and to our styles, which are the way we love to do things. How close does your life come to mirroring your interests? Your style of achievement? Your interests, remember, are what you like to do. For example, if you could run a world seminar and pick any experts you wanted, what subject would you choose? What would you talk about? Your style is how you like to do things. For example, you and your friend both love to work out at the gym, but for you this means joining a class, while your friend heads straight for the weight machines and plugs in her headphones. Your interests are the same -- working out -- but your styles differ. Further, you can also find your key motivators in your memories, the things which made particular events so satisfying and timeless. Were you showing how smart you were? Were you contributing to the good of mankind? Were you competing and coming out ahead? Did you come up with a solution that no one else imagined? In the end, the closer your current life comes to echoing these key motivators, the more likely you are to feel that what you are doing is significant and worthwhile. If you find that you are really far away from the experiences which satisfied you in the past, then it's a pretty good indicator that the misery will continue and it may be time to use your past experiences to start doing some reassessment. Has your retirement passed the “vacation” time? Do you feel stale and restless? Are you reluctant to “work” again—i.e. have responsibilities? It may be time to reassess the life balance you’ve established. Go back to your motivators—are there places in town where some of your key turn-ons can be utilized? Talk to people—set up informational interviews. Find out what may be asked of you—or what you can ask of others. Use your style cues. Will you lead or can you happily follow? Do you wish to create or do you feel fulfilled in helping others achieve their dreams? The key is REASSESSMENT. If your retirement feels stale, use your imagination, and this psychological information now accessible to you to find ways to revitalize and reorient this promising life stage. Our book, “Your Retirement, Your Way,” offers vital clues for your self-assessment. You can begin by going to our website, www.yourretiremntyourway.com and taking the free Retirement Readiness quiz. It will give you important information about where and how to proceed in your retirement plans, and help you replace misery with a personal sense of purpose and mission.

今年入夏以来，松花江街频发轿车被盗案件。龙江派出所立案展开调查，发现附近小区多数不是封闭式小区，因此一些车主将轿车停放在临街的路边，被盗轿车全部是停放在路边的轿车。
经现场勘查，[ucl=from-www.10086v.com]网上手机报价[/ucl]警方发现这些案件与以往轿车盗窃案不同，被盗车辆的车窗并没有被砸碎，盗窃犯是通过打开车窗实施盗窃的。龙江派出所一方面组成专案组重点予以侦查，另一方面在案件多发区设重兵巡防蹲守。
10月7日零时40分许，龙江派出所巡逻民警李晓峰、[ucl=from-wsz.10086v.com]金立 A300[/ucl]陈君义驾驶着一辆地方牌照轿车巡逻到松花街13号居民楼下，躲藏在车内暗中观察过往可疑行人。
[b]贼撞枪口 巧！[/b]
凌晨1时许，坐在后排车座的李晓峰、[ucl=from-sz.10086v.com]金立 A680[/ucl]陈君义突然发现一名青年男子出现在车外，他手持一个小手电朝着路边停放的轿车挨个照着查看。
为避免打草惊蛇，两名民警继续在车内秘密监控该名男子。几分钟后，该男子走到民警乘坐的轿车前，用手电向车内前排座照了照，然后又向后排座照了照，两名民警迅速伏身隐藏，照进来的灯光在后车窗上停留片刻。随后，两名民警听到有人走到轿车左后车窗处，开始用刀子切割车窗玻璃。
见状，两名民警突然推开车门，[ucl=from-sz.10086v.com]长虹 L128[/ucl]从后排车座上冲了出去，把正在切割的男子吓了一跳。当该男子明白过来转身准备逃时，为时已晚，两名民警一左一右将其擒获。经审，该男子交代自己叫张彦峰(21岁，黑龙江人)，今年2月以来，他通过网上聊天认识一名叫“秃子”的网友，由“秃子”教其作案手段，在铁西区共同实施盗窃作案20余起。自7月份开始，张彦峰单独在皇姑区、铁西区连续作案10余起，[ucl=from-sz.10086v.com]深圳手机批发[/ucl]盗窃现金、物品总价值6000余元的犯罪事实。
目前，此案仍在进一步审理中。
