Retirement speeches should never be sad. They should mention only the good things about retirement such as having more time for travel Cheap Evan Turner Shirt , family, friendship and fun. Retirement speeches should be positive. They should look to the future and what it may bring. That is not to say, of course, that they should not mention the past. Someone who is retiring has a past with a particular company and that should be mentioned and celebrated.
Over the years a retiree will usually have made many good friends. Leaving the company then may make him or her feel lonely Cheap Clyde Drexler Shirt , as though they he or she were losing those friendships. A colleague or boss who is addressing the retiree should bear that in mind and perhaps make some suggestions as to staff re-unions or other ways to keep in touch. He or she should also bear in mind that the retiree was a skilled member of the workforce and that what he or she says will help that retiree leave proud of his or her achievements. It is worth remembering too that a generic 鈥淛ohn was an excellent worker鈥?is not enough. He should find out what John鈥檚 speciality was and mention that. It is good too of course to mention how the retiree鈥檚 personality added to the ambiance in the company. If a boss does his research properly heshe may find that in thirty years John was never late or never failed to send a letter to someone who had a bereavement. John may have been an expert on cars and helped fellow workers choose the ideal model for them. Whatever the retiree鈥檚 contribution was it should be mentioned? A retirement speech should also look to the future and mention John鈥檚 plans if they are known. If they are a secret then perhaps it would add to the fun of the occasion if some suggestions were made as to what John could do in the future. If his family are present it is polite to know the names of his wife and children and to say how much John has spoken of them. Alternatively you could mention the photos he has of his grandchildren who are without doubt the most wonderful grandchildren in the world!
On the other hand if John wishes to speak he should express his thanks to those who helped his career, mention his particular friends and speak of his future plans, plans that don鈥檛 include getting up at 5.30a.m. every morning. He might mention that instead of that awful commute to work every morning he is going to go cruising instead. His speech should be gracious, light-hearted and Cheap Brandon Roy Shirt , like all retirement speeches should say that the future is unexplored territory just waiting to be discovered.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones. -Proverbs 17:22

Try this: Open your mouth as wide as you can, bug out your eyes, stick out your tongue Cheap Bill Walton Shirt , bring your hands up like the claws of a lion, then erupt in a mighty roar of hearty laughter.
Or this: Sitting down, pretend you're on a roller coaster approaching the top of the hill. Slowly raise your arms higher and higher, bend back Cheap Terry Porter Shirt , lift your feet off the ground, and in a rising tone of voice, exclaim: "Oooooohh." Then, as the imaginary coaster races downhill Cheap Jusuf Nurkic Shirt , bring your arms crashing down with a big belly laugh that crescendos as you bend over at the waist.
Even if your laughter seems forced, don't be surprised if you feel much better. Just as lifting weights and doing aerobic exercises can strengthen the body and invigorate the spirit, scientists today believe that the act of laughter can be a physically and emotionally therapeutic force.
The lion and roller coaster laughs, together with about a dozen others Cheap C.J. McCollum Shirt , are now featured exercises in 1000 "laughter clubs" worldwide. A growing trend first reported on by ABC's Peter Jennings in a l9981 World News Tonight report, laughter clubs (about 100 in the U.S.) are the absolute latest in stress- reduction therapy, easing tensions of modern life and enhancing one's health.
