【推荐1】The Five Best Countries To Move To For Retirement
Retiring in a different country is gaining popularity. Below are five of the best countries to seek retirement.
Costa Rica
Mild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees(退休人员) to Costa Rica. The country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency process. With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U. S.
Malaysia
Retirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and attractive scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find low-cost rental units, delicious street food, and various shopping malls.
Mexico
Because it’s close to the U.S., Mexico draws more than a million American retirees to its borders. Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living and conversations with friendly English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.
Panama
Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special visa.
Ecuador
Lazy coastal towns, sun-shining hot spots, and nature-filled views wait for immigrants seeking a carefree lifestyle. Public transportation costs in Ecuador make owning a vehicle unnecessary. A bus ride only costs 25 cents and taxi rides will run about $3.

【推荐2】Most athletes who earn a chance to compete at the Olympics do not go home with medals. Here, some of them share how they get through their disappointments.
Moritz Muller
Sport: Ice hockey
Country: Germany
“I have learned through the years that setbacks (挫折) are a part of life and that everyone has them and that the most successful people are the ones who have had the biggest setbacks,” Muller says. “My biggest trick is not to take myself too seriously.”
Lewis Gibson
Sport: Ice dancing
Country: The United Kingdom
Gibson says that positive attitude has been the key to help him through disappointments. “I have learned the importance of replacing any doubts I might be feeling with belief in myself,” he says. “You fill your head with thoughts and it’s very powerful. You’re your own biggest influence.”
Adrian Diaz
Sport: Ice dancing
Country: Spain
After failing to make to the Olympics four years ago, Adrian Diaz worked on communicating more positively with his dancing partner so there wouldn’t be any tension on the ice. “Whether it’s a teammate, friend or family member, improving communication takes time and patience. But breakthroughs do come,” he says. “It took five years for us to fully understand what we had to do. Not just for skating and training but for life.”
Karen Chen
Sport: Figure skating
Country: The United States
“Athletes aren’t always open about all of the challenges they overcome to compete in front of the world at the Olympics,” says Chen. “I didn’t ever talk about them. Before the team event, I actually fell down stairs and hurt my legs. But I fought through with all the strength I had and went through this challenge.”
