Like many I welcomed 2010 surrounded with loud music, light shows, alcohol, hugs, kisses, laughs, confetti and cheers. All seems blurry now that I look back at the celebration. It was too quick and smooth to welcome a new set of 365 days that waits to pound our hearts with the unknown. Some good, some bad, we will again row through a year, hoping to make the best out of it.
For me, 2009 was full of surprises and revelations. I would have wished for a smoother year, but then wouldn’t be able to fully appreciate the lessons I learned. Now that I look forward, I have to remind myself what has passed through my mind just before the big countdown to the new year.
- A friendship reaches its potential only when both parties can make one another feel better about anything that surrounds them. It is those friendships that should get more time and care.
- Being in a relationship is almost like driving an exquisite antique car. You know it will be hard to maintain, but still you die to drive it. That amazing look and feel you get on the road is only as good as the care and time you put on the car. No matter what, there will still be times when the engine will stop running for no apparent reason.
- Mystery is the key to control and attraction. Revealing too much too fast leaves you with no cards to play. You lead to confusion and lose the interest of your audience.
- Nobody likes white lies, but there are times when they become a necessity. Use them wisely and use them on time.
- Business does not go anywhere unless you push. Be more aggressive and get out of the comfort zone.
- Money talks, but money luxuriously saved in your account massages you better than a Thai Spa to ultimate comfort. Spend less and save more.
