Year 2009 is over, and we are now in 2010. How many elaborated plans did you have for the year 2009 and how many of them did you achieve? How much experience did you gain from that elapsed year? Those may seem some quite silly questions, but didn’t you learn that there are no such things as silly questions? I remember 10 years back, when I watch a video clip of one of my favourite singer of that time, Mr Will Smith singing will 2k, he said that : You never now where you’re going, till you know where you’ve been! Those questions take all their sense after reading that phrase. Resolutions are good ideas, but retrospectives are complements to them.

I planned my year 2009 to mingle with the BEST and the BRIGHTEST where I should have turn the potentials into kinetics. I had a list of resolutions that I needed to accomplish by the end of year 2009, but unfortunately was unable to complete the list. To be honest, I only completed one during that year but all I can say is that all is not lost that is delayed . What I discovered is that everything that you learned from that year had its importance. I may not have completed my resolution list, but I discovered new ways to achieve them or did intermediate step to them. 2009 was finally a pivot year for me to achieve my resolutions. I have gain rich experiences that are too much to mention but however decided to share a few with you below:

1. I learn that:
   • Every time that I am rude to someone, I gave him the permission to be rude to somebody else
   • Every time I swear someone, I gave him the permission to swear somebody else
   • Every time I do not respect my engagement, I gave him the permission to do not respect his engagement towards someone else
2. I’ve lean that even if you no more trust in God, he still trust in you.
3. I’ve learn that you never get what you deserve from Man, but only what you have negotiated.
