2008 is going to leave us soon. Obama is going to be the President. Economy is not going to improve anytime soon. It is about time we reflect on what has happened and how we are going to move forward. For me personally, I have experienced the good and the bad God has lay down on me. Overall, I think I am ahead.
2008 is the year my career went ballistic. Sometimes I have to slap myself to check if I was dreaming. Luckily, I was not. The job comes with many challenges and pains. Which job does not right? I decided early on to take the bull by it's horn. I am still challenged by the bull but I learn to have fun with it, make sacrifices and equip myself comprehensively.
2008 is also the year I rekindle some friendships. I realized that we do need close friends just to keep us grounded. Friends that will tell us straight what we did might be wrong or right. In building and sustaining a friendship, both parties have to decide if the friendship is worth the time and effort to continue. It will not work if one put more effort than the other. For all friends that have been tolerating me, I thank you. I promised to put more effort.
Looking forward to 2009, here I am at Starbucks reflecting on what has happened and what I will do in 2009. It's all captured in my trusty scrap book. (There is no substitute for paper to put your thoughts down). My Hazelnut latte goes down well on this cool and rainy day.
In summary, for 2009, I am going to make more money, make more love, have more fun and make time for what's important to me (and people who are important to me as well), learn from my failures in 2008 and move on. God Speed!
