Retirement could be an exciting time for some people, but can also be a time of anxiety for others. Maybe many of you have asked, what is meant by retirement? It was easy, really, retirement is a period where we can stop work and of course stopped to get regular income from work that we field. Now, if someone already has enough money to finance their needs in retirement, of course it would be very encouraging. Imagine, needs can be fulfilled without the need to keep working. Time and effort usually spent on the job can be used for rest or doing things that make our hobby. But on the contrary, if at retirement, a person does not or does not have enough money to finance his life, then what happens rather than relaxing, but anxious to find a way to stay alive. Right, right?

Many people, especially those who work as employees, were optimistic that he will be able to enjoy a pleasant retirement. "My company have a retirement fund for me later, why should I bother … think preparation pensions," comments some from them. True, everyone will want to experience an enjoyable retirement and not disturbing. Therefore, many companies that provide pension fund for employees who have worked hard for this, so they can retire in peace. But, have you ever counted how many Pension you would get from the company’s future? If yes, have you ever counted how many actually needs of your life after retirement future? And have you ever compared the two, so you know whether your retirement money or not enough to finance your life?

What often happens, people rarely try to find out whether their pension money enough to pay for living in retirement in the future. They just hang pension money from companies as a source of living expenses in retirement. In fact, only he himself knows exactly how many necessities of life after retirement, not the company. Therefore, it is very important to know whether your retirement money or not enough as the holder of your life someday. When enough, maybe not be a problem. But if not, then you are, willy-nilly, must add to yourself, so that later collected enough funds to finance the retirement your life.

All great ideas will lose at once when someone has to meet an important person, or you will be nervous when your superior calls you. This will happen because you or I have no confidence when we have to meet an important person. Our fault is we feel that we are under him/her at position or at socioeconomic. How to build confidence in front of an important person, below are the tips:

1.    When you have to meet face to face with an important person, say that you are the same as him/her. Say in your heart that you are important as well him/her.
2.    If you need him because you are as an employee of him/her, you have to believe that he/she needs you as well. Think that without you, he/she will not be like that.
3.    You must always remember that he/she is human beings, not God, not anyone. He/she is the same with you, the creatures of God.
4.    Believe that he/she has the same feeling as you do.
