| Piers Morgan: Successful year - but only for some |
Interesting thing New Year! I think it would be hard to find one person who does not see the New Year as a time of hope and renewal. From the most successful (Piers Morgan has a had a pretty good year), to those struggling with debt and job loss (as so many have in the past year), the 1st of January is a time to reinvigorate and look to the future.
As a human race, I think this is vital. A fixed time of year where we are pushed to look at ourselves, our struggles and have a new determination thrust upon us as a new start beckons us, is of the utmost importance.
For most of us, the past year (or two) has been incredibly difficult. Budding businesses have been stopped (and often gone bankrupt) in their tracks. (Very interesting and inspiring article by Lord Sugar for small businesses http://on.fb.me/fyfNDz). Employees in good, long term jobs have been made redundant through no fault of their own, often just a few years off their retirement. Graduates who have done as they are told and gone and gotten their degrees are not even getting interviews for jobs.
And so we all need to now use a little imagination. The world is a very different place to just three years ago. We have to think out of the box when it comes to how we make a living. Be a little more adventurous. Perhaps the dream of owning our own business is no longer a dream but something we really should make a reality. What have we got to lose? Are we to sit just waiting for that one elusive job? Perhaps getting together with friends who are also unemployed with good skills and knowledge and putting together a business plan is the way forward?
Perhaps, out of all this struggle and debt, we will emerge happier and excited about our futures by using our own potential and initiative. Perhaps this year will be the year when we achieve our dreams.
