Hope. Best Wishes For 2017

As we welcome the year 2017, we often find ourselves saying, "Time passed by so fast". Geoffrey Chaucer, the English poet, was right when he said that time and tide wait for no man. 

Time will keep moving forward, and we will experience many things in our lifetime. Success and failure, health and sickness, pleasure and pain are all part of the same coin. However, have faith in hope and work to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.

In that spirit of hope, I would like to share a poem about hope written by a Malaysian poet named Madam Yasotha Selvarajah. She is known as "The Smiling Amma" because of her infectious smile.

" Hope"

It is all we have.
Do not let it slip....
It is all
We may ever have.

Giving us the chance to dream....
Due to the possibility
Of materialisation
Of that very dream.

Have faith in it....
From the deep depths within you.
What is there to life
Without ever-present hope?

Cling on
With a determination
To succeed, at least
To hold onto hope.

For then,
Nothing can shatter you,
Nothing can depress you,
Nothing can overcome you.

You'll accept life
For what it is.
You'll challenge life
For what it has to offer.

You'll cherish life.
You'll embrace life.
You'll live life
As best as you can.


To all my readers, hope whatever you wish for in 2017 will come true.
Take care and have a good New Year.

Happy New Year!


Thank You
