"Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values." - Thomas S. Monson
Through these trying times, it certainly deepened my character and strengthened my resolve to move forward irregardless of life's uncertainties and inner hesitation.
Interestingly, life have always its ways of rewarding one who never gives up, in ways we could never fathom. Stemming from my desire to do something special this year, I decided to bake my own cookies with the help of a special person.
Though I do not know whether will this special friendship work out, my heart tells me that I should go for it. While silently hoping it that this fairy tale will not end up like the music lyrics of "Last Christmas".

This person though rough at times, always seem to possess the sensitivity and thoughtfulness that most people don't seem to possess enough around our age. With out-flowing generosity and a sincere heart, I can sense the fluttering within my inner being.
Alas, romance or not, this is just one part of my life. The bigger picture is about the way I am conducting my life, my business, school and personal agreements. It is time for me to pave the way to new beginnings, letting this Christmas be the year where I decide to move on.
I believe I am worthy of completing my 2016 goal. All I need to do is to be able to visualize it in my mind, plan the process and commit to work excellence to bring the process to fruition. It is a worthwhile goal to change my personal and family financial destiny, and more importantly give hope to people around me that its possible to use such a business vehicle to achieve their dreams too.
In this span of one year, I have learned to be grateful for all my shortcomings and strengths, as well as learnt to be grateful for all my perceived challenges and learn from my mistakes. Though not all my bad habits are completely reconfigured yet, I believe I can do it, and I would do it.

I hope that my personal journey and this blog about the experiences of someone who moved on from being a failure in his academic days, from a student who is not able to accept guidance and mentor-ship due to his immense ego, is able to inspire some people who enjoyed his style of writing.
