It's time of the year whereby we gather with our family and friends to catch up with one another, spend the festive holidays together and for some, it might just be going for good year-end sales, taking a good holiday abroad.
December 31 marks the end of the year and we are probably thinking about how we are going to celebrate the night, what we are having for dinner, who we are going to meet and where to catch the best view of the fireworks with our latest DSLR or where to get the best iPhone deal.
So what does the last day of the year mean to you? Perhaps it's a time to reflect on what had been done for this year, what have you achieved this year, what nice/not nice things you did? Not just academically but the mental and emotional aspect too.
Anything that you need to make amend before the year ends? Just like the usual Chinese New Year's saying goes "Do not owe $$ before the Chinese New Year starts else it's bad luck".
Is there anything that you want to settle before the year ends? Anyone you want to say 'Thank You' or 'Sorry' to?
If you had not done so, it's a good time and opportunity to close the chapter and move on. Of course, one should not drag till end of the year to settle such issues - but if you had not done so, it's a great opportunity to reflect and act on it.
It is also a time to COUNT OUR BLESSINGS. It might be a good or not too good year but there are always good things to count on. Look at the year and set resolutions for the new year so that at the end of 2010, you can look back and see how you have "grown".
So to 2009, we'll say Goodbye and to 2010, a warm Hello. May your dreams come true in 2010 as you set yourself thinking and acting on it cos dreams don't just happen overnight. The hard work you put in, you'll receive your due rewards.
