Time to step back

How I realized that it is my time to step back as the Chinese saying goes : The back wave pushing the front wave. This is very real and we have to realize that we have gone old and it is time to let go and let other younger people to take over from us.

This understanding is bad for our own ego but the faster we realized it , it will be better for us to let go and stay behind. Yes, I have been a frontier man for so long  and like an old soldier , I never die  but keep moving forward.  Either I will fall dead while working or I got live for a few more good years before going down and vanish.  It is so difficult for us after working for more than 43 years on the job and I have to go off .

Time is the master.  As we go pass 60 , each year makes a different  as our energy sapped and our bones ache.  We fight against it and tell our self , age is just  a number and we hide behind our smoke screen and dress our wounds.  We better stop doing all this cover and face the facts and world.  Yes, the facts could be ugly and the world is realistic .  So what , why we need to live under this smoke screen and cry. 

We have to suppress our ego, aware of our age and face the reality that we cannot go on like what we want to do.  We have to look into the mirror and tell our self , it is time to let go and move behind for the young tide to move ahead. We cannot be an obstacle to progress and we have our time and it is time to go.

We cannot be ever green and hold on to the post forever . It is so unfair to you and to your subordinate.  We have our time and now , it is their time.  Their prime time.

We have to consolidate our wealth , let go and accept reality that we are in our twilight years.  We have slow down and wonder gratefully in the twiling , drinking wine and lying restfully under the twilight sun and pass our time gracefully. 

Yes, it is not how we die but how gracefully , we pass on our jobs  and our life and become honorable.

The time has come for me to move on .

Namaste.
