Happy New Year 2013- Another Year, Another Chance


Farewell 2012 and a Warm Welcome to 2013

Wishing all my blog readers a Happy New Year 2013 and may you all be blessed with good health,happiness and prosperity.

The last word is manna to most people. Who wouldn't want money or more money for that matter? I am not referring to greed okay, because greed is one of the 10 great sins (for the religious).

We mark the end of 2012 with the beginning of a new hope and a new opportunity to do things right and these are represented by the new year 2013.

People around the world celebrate the new year with fireworks and lighting displays. It is a much anticipated event everywhere around the Globe.

When a new City Mayor failed to plan for an annual fireworks event to celebrate the new year, the people of the city  really cursed him silly. They felt betrayed, they felt let down. How could he, the old Scrooge!

City folks pay taxes and assessment rates not only to be provided with services like garbage collection and sewerage maintenance but for some form of entertainment as well.

Big cities around the world celebrate the new year with fireworks where city folks come together in their hundred of  thousands to share the joy and express the common hope of a brighter year ahead.

I see this new year as another chance to improve myself and my relationship with people that matter. I also hope to comfort my patients more and increase my diagnostic skills and detect the causes of their malady earlier so that I can lessen their sufferings.

On the financial front, I hope this year will be just as great as 2012 if not better market-wise. Lessons learnt from last year have provided a compass for me to navigate the murky water of volatile markets which are expected to continue for some time yet.

While there is no gain without taking a risk, I hope I will temper my risk appetite with gratefulness of small gains, real gain not paper- high!
