A New Year, A New Start
2008 had been a year that is best forgotten. Many things had happened in this past year. To the world, it was a financial “tsumani” that we had seen many big companies going bust and many people all over the whole began to lose their jobs and are having difficulties trying to make ends meet.
Not only in material lost but many lives were also lost through the Siquan earthquake. There were stories of how some sacrifice their lives to save others during this great earthquake and there was also story of how selfish man can be, where he did care only for himself and ran for his own life and leave his young students all alone and how they had perished because of his selfish nature.
As for my personal life, things were not too good as compared to the previous year. My uncle passed away in, I think, in Nov and then follow by my sister in law. Things were bad for my uncle family, where again the “beastful” nature of the human being was revealed as the son beat up his sister and his mother over the inheritance. The ugly part of the human being will always be reveal, especially when it comes to money. It is such a sad thing that man always had such a greedy nature.
But one good thing comes forth from the death of my sister in law. The family began to close rank and the family began to show signs of reconciliation and is getting closer to one another as they began to see the fragile life that we living.
But still, I give thanks to my God who had taken good care of me for year 2008 and I am still doing fine, finding favour with all my bosses.
To all my young readers, things may look bleak in the coming months, but be strong and I believe all of you will sail through 2009 and coming out as a stringer person.
To start of the year, may I encourage all my readers to make their life more meaningful. As I had written earlier, the demised on my sister in law was came as a shock as she is still considered young. So do spend the days of your life wisely and meaningfully as we do not know when it will “expire”. Do something that will leave a legacy so that other will remember you for the good that you had done, and that you will have no regrets if you are to move on to the other realm!!!
