"Let us put our hands, soul and heart on our businesses and to do our work well to help Ghana come out of the woods." Mrs Simpson said God never created Ghanaians to be poor but because of inadequate innovation, and creativity many people find themselves on the poverty line, adding, "God abhor laziness and laziness twin sister is poverty".
She therefore, urged the club members, who are businessmen and government employees to always be creative and find something to do with their hands for the betterment of the nation.
Mrs Simpson said pension is not an end of the road but rather a change of work or events and therefore, entreat all pensioners not to sit down idle and fold their arms, but rather to try as much as possible to have something beneficial doing to supplement their monthly earnings.
