The year 2010 in a nutshell ,
2010 was a year of meaning.
I don't mean that it was an awesome year without any problems at all , I mean that it was an awesome year with its fair share of upsets and sadness.
It reminded me that all good things come to an end and happiness never lasts uninterrupted.
Nevertheless , during tough times, it shed light on the saying "this too shall pass" , for the tough times did pass , the dark clouds parted and the light shone through .
2010 Brought me new challenges and challenged me to find new solutions for them . I did not completely succeed but I did not fail completely .
The beginning of the year was a bit of a shock with the new workload on our backs. Sacrifice , sacrifice , victory , sacrifice , sacrifice , sacrifice, defeat.
Through defeat we learnt to pick ourselves up and move on with our lives.
Saw that life is hard when things have got no meaning. In a certain period of our lives yes , we will find that life has lost its meaning, that our lives are very empty . Well , think again because when we focus on a certain thing and suddenly lose it all , we've actually been forgetting about the other small stuff that gives our life meaning.
Every year I meet new people , I am thankful for that:)
Every year I gain new experiences ,I am thankful for that:)
Every year I live life with safety and health , I am thankful for that :)
Happy new year :)
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
