Lessons in true grit from a comeback kid aged 79

In recent years, at the many reunions I attend over the Chinese New Year festive season, I sometimes detect a stench of despair and fear marring the joyousness of the occasion which never quite goes away.
What causes the stench? Those in my age group, in their 40s and 50s, are supposed to be at the peak of their careers.
Yet I find that in such gatherings, as many as half of those present may have stopped working already. Some of them have made enough money and they stop working because they desire a slower pace of life. But there are others whose careers are suddenly cut short because their jobs have been made redundant.
Among the rest, there are some who are perpetually worried that if they should lose their job for whatever reason, they may find it difficult to get a similarly high-paying job again.
