Early Lessons, Lasting Impact: A Journey of Hard Work
Everyone remembers their first earnings, and for Jagdeep, it was something special. At just 20 years old, he made ₹300 by giving tuition classes in English, Mathematics, and Science. “There was a teacher who told me to visit a house and offer tuition,” he recalls with a warm smile. That first taste of financial independence taught him the value of hard work and education. Who knew that a small tutoring job would set him on a path to success?
With time, dedication, and perseverance, Jagdeep rose through the ranks and became the highest income tax assessee in Gurdaspur and Pathankot while working at LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India). “I joined LIC as a government officer. My job was to recruit, train, and retain agents and get business through them,” he explains. Competing with wealthy timber merchants, his high tax contributions spoke volumes about his achievements. His career became an inspiration for many.
1% Better Every Day: A Simple Formula for Success
When asked about the biggest life lesson he’s learned, Jagdeep’s answer is simple but powerful “Hard work and patience always pay.” His school days at Sainik School, Kapurthala, taught him three golden rules: Vidya (Knowledge), Vinay (Humility), and Anushasan (Discipline). These values shaped him into someone who believes in showing up every day and giving it his best. “If you improve just 1% every day, in one year, you will be 37 times better than when you started!” he says with a sparkle in his eyes.
Overcoming Life’s Biggest Challenges
Life wasn’t always kind to Jagdeep Sharma. One of the hardest times came when his first wife passed away, leaving him with two young kids. “My daughter was seven years old, and my son was just four,” he shares, the pain still evident in his voice. To cope, he fell into drinking and smoking. “At that time, I used to drink in the morning just to get through the day,” he admits openly. But with time, he found the strength to rebuild his life. He remarried and created a happy home with three children—two from his first marriage and one from his second. Instead of letting tragedy define him, Jagdeep chose to rise above it, creating a future filled with hope and love.

A Purposeful Retirement: Staying Active and Engaged
After retiring, Jagdeep suddenly had a lot of free time something he wasn’t used to after years of a busy career. But instead of feeling lost, he embraced this new chapter with curiosity and energy. “Actually, I have a very big reading habit,” he says with a grin. Every day, he reads 14-15 newspapers online and dives into thousands of magazines through Magstar, a digital subscription service. “Reading makes a full man, discussion makes a ready man, and writing makes a perfect man. That is my watchword,” he adds thoughtfully. Staying mentally active, he believes, is the key to a happy retirement.
Even though he’s retired, Jagdeep hasn’t completely stepped away from work. He serves as a consultant at IDB Trusteeship Services Limited, where he’s called in for specific deals and projects. This setup lets him stay professionally connected while enjoying the relaxed pace of retired life.
Beyond work and reading, Jagdeep keeps himself active with a simple but rewarding daily routine. He never misses his morning walk, follows it with some light exercises, and then enjoys a hot cup of tea with his newspapers. Conversations with fellow senior citizens in the park are a highlight of his day. “I enjoy senior citizens' company,” he says warmly. “Just sitting in the park, sharing knowledge, and having good company that’s where I find my joy.”
Finding a Second Family at Sukoon Unlimited
A strong believer in lifelong learning and meaningful friendships, Jagdeep Sharma has found a second home in Sukoon Unlimited. Sukoon is a community that brings senior citizens together, allowing them to share stories, learn new things, and create lasting bonds. “For me, Sukoon is a place to celebrate life, wisdom, and the joy of human connection,” he says with conviction.
Reflecting on retirement, Jagdeep emphasizes the importance of good habits and keeping a balance between physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being. “Retirement should not mean stagnation. One should always find ways to grow,” he advises. His journey is not just about financial success, but about resilience, continuous learning, and finding purpose at every stage of life.
For anyone who meets Jagdeep Sharma, his story is a gentle reminder that hard work, patience, and an open heart can turn even the hardest challenges into a beautiful, fulfilling life.
