I give thanks to God for the grace to see a brand new year and the privilege to be hale and healthy to see the year 2026. The previous year was full of lots of happenings that were troubling and exciting, but overall it was all worth it and can be tagged as the year of the Ducane settlement in different ramifications of my life. So in light of that, I'm looking forward to a better time in this new year. To start with, we're going to resume work again come Monday, and I'm super excited about the resumption because although my job can be stressful and tiring, still I enjoy it and have missed my students. Yes, you read that correctly because I'm a teacher by profession.
Given the fact that it's a new year, I can't help but call myself to order so I can reflect on how the previous year went by, what I need to continue, what I need to stop, and what I need to be cautious about. Doing that will help me take the right step in this new year so I can get the best results in all I do. The previous year is full of lessons and experience that shaped my life and gave me a new perspective about humans and what to be cautious of when dealing with them. I met those who disappointed me, those who wronged me, those who took advantage of me, and the like. In order not to get hurt again like I did last year
I want to learn to listen more and learn to not rely so much on people, because it always or mostly comes with regret and most of all comes with disappointment. Like I said, I want to learn to listen more, and that's because I think I'm not doing enough in that aspect. So basically listening more would bring about less talking and less probability of taking a rash decision or rushing into judgment that'll lead to something I'll regret. Most of all I want to become a better teacher so that my students can benefit more from me, not just in their academics but also in morals and other important aspects of life.
Hopefully this new year will bring about new success, achievement, and more in different areas of my life. I'm in charge and intentional about being a better person, and I hope I'll be able to give it all it takes to bring that to reality and, beyond that, achieve it through the grace of God as a testament to my hard work and diligence. I really crave success this year, and alongside that, I hope the year smiles on me and does not burden me with health challenges like I faced in the previous year, because, like they said, health is wealth, and I hope 2026 blesses me with good health throughout.
Thanks so much for your time, I wish you all the best in all your endeavours throughout this year 2026
