Summary

In this quote, the speaker rejects the notion of retirement and instead likens it to a graduation. They view retirement as a passive state of living off past achievements, while graduation signifies the beginning of a new chapter full of continued growth and purposeful action. By emphasizing that retiring is not their intention, the speaker rejects complacency and embraces the idea of staying motivated and productive even as they move into a different phase of life. Their use of the term "graduation" suggests an ongoing desire to learn and make a meaningful impact rather than simply coasting through their golden years.
