Retire means to withdraw from one’s professional career, often due to age or financial readiness, and transition to a life of rest or personal pursuits. This decision can be challenging, particularly if one has to succumb to leaving behind a long-held role or if a significant career blunder has prompted the choice. Some individuals might rebel against the idea of retirement, feeling it undervalues their contributions and identity. The process involves navigating these emotional and practical changes, ultimately leading to a chance to redefine one's life beyond their previous career.
