Welcome Year 2008!!!

2008 is the year of the Rat!

Every country and every race have their own ways of welcoming the new year. Most often we used firecrackers or make noises to greet and celebrate the in-coming year. Countries have their versions of fireworks and light displays.

Media, newsprint and tv do their recap of the past year. Most often fortune tellers have different dates with the broadcast media to express their predictions. They tell people things to do, and not what to do. Things that may happen like disasters that no one may ever thought that might happen. They talk about economies, politics and personalities especially about politicians and celebrities.

Traditionally, every person has a new year's resolution. People always wish for prosperous and a better year.

But what exactly is the new year's resolution for?

Basically, people wish and dreams of things for the coming year. These will be guidelines or goals for individuals to achieve within a year. It's something that everybody has to look forward to.

Everybody wants to have some changes in life, often things that a person thinks that make his life better and improved than the past. Without these dreams, then I guess the person is already contented of what he already has and achieved.

Just thinking...
