Cycle of Life

Christmas is nearing and year 2010 is approaching. When the minute tick pass 12am on the last day of December, a whole new lot of experiences along with ambiguities and doubts will soon recycle itself back in daily life; another year had passed and a new year begins. When I was younger, I was always eager for New Year's Day as the day, to me, brings about new resolutions and new aims, to put it simply, a new life, or so I thought. In fact, it was not any different from the past. Everything laid upon me were and are ironically, incessantly the same. It is just the matter of application of life in different situations. Perhaps if we put it in a more specific way, we can say that particular resolution or objective is entirely new and different, something to look forward to. For example, if I resolved to save up $5k in 6 months, it is something different and vary from the past goals I aimed and achieved if that is the resolution I inclined to reach due to working for the very first time. However, generally we still have to make great efforts and push ourselves no matter what kind of resolutions we have. It is still about going back to ground zero and climbing back up the ladder to reach the top after one had achieved his or her goal. Life is actually moving in circles, picking up vital tenets of life which we may have missed out or went unnoticed in the past, and also correcting our mistakes with the opportunities we will have. All of it are repeating, and our task is only to unlearn and relearn to shunt out mistakes and wrongdoings. From that, we will be able to mature and improve ourselves to become a more well-honed person from time to time.
