Why are you failing at retirement?

I thought life was going to be so simple and so quiet. It seemed to be involved in so many things. This feels very good. All those people who say that retirement is difficult, nonsense. It's just choose the things you want to do and do them. He was handed the wheel of a modest cruise line and transformed it into a global travel empire with fleets that dared to dream bigger than the horizon.

Richard Fain, the man who reimagined what a cruise could be.

The most important thing I had was good luck.

I was in the right place at the right time.

When I had good luck and was in the right place at the right time, I worked hard to take advantage of.

If all you do is what you did, then you're not going to get anything different.

A vision is almost like saying I have a hope. The vision is important, but it also needs how am I going

to get there and what am I going to do to make that happen. Introducing megaships, pioneering

experiences, and building a culture obsessed with good enough isn't good enough. For over three

It will make your life both more fun and more successful.

Why are you failing at retirement? That's my wife's line.

I don't know.

I thought life was going to be so simple and so quiet, and yet I seem to be involved in so many things that I'm having trouble doing all that I want to be doing. But I must say,

this is, this is, this feels very good. I'm feeling I get to do things I like to do. I get to

choose when to do them. So I'm busier than I want to be, but I'm enjoying what I'm doing.

I love that. So I think that by the way, for all people that are super ambitious, I think it is very hard to actually retire and to actually turn off. No, it isn't. No. That's, you know, I've heard that from so many people and it's nonsense. This is the best thing I've done. It's just, it's so much fun. I get to spend more time with my family,

but I also get to do the things that I love to do. So I had the best job in the world.
