Here's to 2008

Sure, there is a lot to be feared and despair about in 2008, but good news also abound. America will get a new president, and a potentially very good one at that. Wall Street is in tatter but the lessons to be learned should point towards better economic policy, not only by governments but by companies, their leaders and by individuals like us.

On a personal note, I have graduated after two years of rigorous coursework and learned a lot more. I have made new good friends and taken on internships that have served me well professionally. 

I am also lucky to find a job in Thailand so that I could be with P and her family could not have been more kind and hospital and I am thankful.

2009 will bring challenges, professionally and personally, and it will require determination, good planning and diligence to overcome them and move higher in my life trajectory. Let's do it.
