It’s that time of the year again where we gather together and make merry.
It’s also a time where many are thankful for all that they’ve achieved and all that they’ve gone through in a span of a year.
Some choose to do it with family, others with friends and others with colleagues.
It’s a happy time all around from the celebration of Jesus’ birth, the giving and receiving of presents and the marking of a whole new year with countless possibilities but that’s not what I want to dwell on.
Have you ever noticed that some people are not in contact with one another for a very long time but for some reason on New Year’s Eve, they’ll send a message to each other of best wishes for the New Year?
Have you also noticed that those comprising the management of companies will most often never recognize the achievement of their employees until the end of year party?
Better yet, have you ever realized that a parent may only reward his/her child during Christmas and on that child’s birthday?
Now here’s a really interesting one-Have you ever observed that some companies only give goodies to their clients at the end of the year even when they have not awarded their clients any discounts or special rates throughout that whole year?
Sad scenarios but this is what actually happens and I think this trend should actually change.
As you enjoy this holiday season, I would like you to put some thought on how you can make next year more memorable such that when it gets to the end, it feels more fulfilling.
This can be accomplished by doing very simple things and I’ll give you a few
examples:
There are those relatives and friends that you don’t communicate with very often, the kind you send a ‘happy new year’ message every year.
Make it a point to communicate with them about 3 times during the year just to find out how they are doing….
