Happy new year.

Happy new year.

Best wishes to all and hope 2008 is a better year than 2007 for everyone (unless of course you are planning major badness in which case hope it is a much worse year, hehe).

So the year 2007 in review.

Negatives:

Some family issues remain unsolved (an understatement but then its what i do well).

A very close relative died.

The girl and I are yet to resolve our major source of discontent in our relationship.

Career wise, i am STILL earning less than i was when i was 21.




Positives:

Said family issues could have gotten much worse but didn't (Thank God for that).

My depression issues from a few years ago while not 100% fixed is now very well managed and the turmoil which it brought me has not been seen round these parts for a while. Hopefully the future will bring further improvements.Also i have become wiser cos of the depression and learnt a lot about myself and broadly speaking human beings.

The girl and I are still very much in love and remain committed to each other.

Career wise, my business partner and i have finally launched our business. While we are yet to make a profit, it is a going rather well and we have done well against the challenges we have come up against. It is a great experience and the learning curve is quite challenging.

My family and friends are alive and well to the best of my knowledge. I have made some new friends and reacquainted myself with some old ones.



Someone recently told me that it was quite good that i always manage to see the glass as half full and not half empty. I like being optimistic. Technically there is no reason NOT to be. So far as one is alive, there is a chance of things getting better. Obviously these chances vary from very likely to not so likely however i posit that it is the optimistic side of human beings that have propelled us to our greatest achievements.

So here's to optimism.

Something to think about. The first flight by the wright brothers was just 102 years ago. Now we think nothing of jumping on planes and flying to wherever. Optimism works. It just requires one to be patient.

Happy new year people. Try to stay optimistic.
