New Year’s hopes  

Published on: February 2, 2017 11:00 PM

Sir: The year 2017 has approached us telling that nothing is long lasting in this world. When the first sun of New Year appeared above the horizon and threw its rays onto the ground, we must have set our healthy thoughts and new visions. If someone complies with the above suggestion, he would have a chance to succeed in his life. Eventually, he can exploit new avenues of chances and hopes towards the attainment of prosperity and progress for this world in general and his country in particular.

No doubt, we had to penetrate into a vicious cycle of horrendous experiences and feelings in the previous year. Some may have lost our loved ones, who said goodbye to this selfish world for their eternal lives. Someone might face acute loss in business and professional life as well.

Moreover, everyone has a litany of problems, worries etc, that they faced in the span of the previous year. We should have buried all our traumatic losses and hopelessness when the last moon of 2016 faded by the brightness of the New Year’s sun. We must step in into New Year with
new hopes, expectation of new chances
and outlook.

The year 2017 pleads that we should, as human beings, set aside our differences; lead ourselves towards the attainment of spiritual peace of fellow beings. Lastly, we should invest some time for modification of own conduct and character; improving ourselves for the betterment of our lives
