Following many years of industrious efforts to do it his way and reap the rewards, the author finally lived a contented life in the East Midlands area of England. Retirement was not in his plans and new ventures were considered and launched as the will to succeed in new things were always in the forefront of his mind. He has now learnt that not everything in life can be controlled and when busy being industrial, personal lives can take directions not desired. Business challenges over, the authors now personal life lay shattered with the family destroyed. Financial implications were difficult and brought on stress that at the age when most people would already have been retired for a number of years, were not something welcome or indeed expected. A new direction in his life was forced upon him, which was perhaps more challenging than anything experienced so far. Readers will no doubt learn that perhaps a busy working life is not the ideal.
