Dear Friends,
Welcome to 2008. So have you listed down your new year resolutions?
I'm always sceptical about new year resolution as I believe that, if we really want to do something in life, we don't have to wait until a new year to do it. Because, if that's the case, then we will be wasting lots of time waiting for new year to come by just to get things done. So if you really got something you think, sense and feel that it should be done, go ahead and do it, cause time and tide wait for no man.
For the ethnic Chinese who are generally superstitious, the number 8 (found in 2008) is believe to be a prosperous year, thus many Chinese businessman believe that good fortune is install for the year. Even the most prominent sporting event, Olympic 2008 which will be held in China is schedule to be officiated on the 8th of August 2008 (08.08.08) at 08.08pm. So is China gonna win 8 gold medal, 8 silver medal and 8 bronze medal?
Putting the superstitious stuff aside, just as we were about to step into the new year just few days ago, economic analysis around the world have been warning people to be take extra precaution as the year 2008 will be as bad as the 2007 roller coaster ride if not worse. Preliminary because because of the growing sub-prime issue in the United State, in which many top economic has raise concern that the world largest economic power house might slip into a recession which will in turn lead to a domino effect to the global economy.
Whether the United State is gonna slip into a recession, or if the world economies will be affected, life has to go on. So the golden question will be, are you prepared for 2008? If you are, I would like to congratulate you. If you are not, better start preparing for it. As the saying goes, Prevention is always better than cure. So start saving lots of money and avoid all risky investment, especially if you are not informed about those investment.
Before i sign off, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, may the year 2008 bring you, good health, fortune, friendship and happyness(its not spelling error nor typo error, just did it on purpose).
Warmest Regards,
