[Retiree] What to avoid as a retired scholar

Since I retired from a law school in August 2018, I have occasionally been invited to academic seminars as a chair or panelist. Should I respond to it positively as before? 

In principle, I've made it a rule:

- First, to refuse the offer politely;

- Second, to accept it only when there is no alternative candidate; and

- Third, to make myself not to be so prominent, and to cheer up other colleagues.>

위의 주제에 관한 필자의 논문은 NAVER 웹사이트에도 수록되어 있다. 

이날 토론회는 필자의 발언을 포함해 인터넷 신문 등 언론에서도 중요한 기사로 다루었다.

 

무성했던 잎이 지고
몇 알 남지 않은 홍시 감
푸른 창공에서 더 붉게 빛나네
When those leaves are gone,
Some persimmons are left behind.
They are shining all the more in the sky.

 

Someday, it will be finished. But always one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me
heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14)
