As I reflect on the New Year, I am reminded of the words of Albert Einstein:
“Strange is our situation here on earth.
Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine purpose.
From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know:
That we are here for the sake of humanity . . . for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
Many times a day I realize how my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow human beings, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received and am still receiving.”
My heartfelt thanks to all of my clients, colleagues, co-workers, readers, friends, and family, who have given me so much this year. May 2012 bring you peace and prosperity.
