How Does the Year Fare?

Posted by: andrew william, 9-Jan-2010

Have you ever wondered what would be in store for the year 2010? I mean we have for every year reviewed the good and the bad things of the year toward the closure of each year. I mean who would ever have thought we would loose Michael Jackson at such a young age? One financial expert said” The year 2009 was a year from hell”.

Wow, you must say he felt quite strongly about it. It was a year of financial meltdown and nobody really knows where we are heading next. As 2010 unravels, at the back of our minds, we keep thinking what good or evil might happen this year.

We cannot predict or prevent certain disasters but how we respond to it is what makes the difference. For example, the recent Arson incident in K.L. I like how the church responded to the incident by saying that they forgive them and hold no records of wrong.

Don't worry about tomorrow, each day has enough trouble of its own

We need to overlook offences as we live in one of the most peaceful countries in the world. Strife never brings benefit to anyone. Many foreigners who visit us are amazed how we being a multicultural society live in harmony. That’s an honour for us Malaysians. Lets not become a laughing stock to the world.

I believe in this world we will have troubles. It is how we respond to it that will make all the difference. Let us not worry about the year ahead, each day has enough trouble of its own. Lets live one day at a time.

As the wise turtle master in Kung Fu Panda said, “ Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a mystery, live for today, it is a gift,that’s why it is called…,”Present”.
