Today is 30th<\/sup> December 2016, we are just 2 days away from the end of the year 2016, getting ready to welcome the new year 2017. Writing this post \u2013 Reflecting 2016 \u2013 Part 1 is influenced by a very talented friend, a musician, an artist, a writer, a photographer, Fernando Gros, whom wrote a post titled \u201cThis Week I Quit 2016\u201d, during a few weeks back.<\/p>\n

We all have something similar in certain aspects of year 2016 that bonded us together in writing an article to share our year 2016 journeys. Although we all led very different life in different continents, the things that happened to us in our personal life and the world matters drew some similarity. I was inspired by Fernando\u2019s article, his article struck a big hit in my heart, mind and soul. Therefore, I wanted to write my own year 2016 article, in two parts, part 1 on the eve of New Year Eve, with part 2 on New Year Eve night.<\/p>\n

Year 2016 had been a very difficult year for me in both my professional and personal life. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I left my workplace, basically hitting rock bottom, hurt, disappointed and lost. My mind and brains were definitely not in the best of shape and thinking. The damage took a bit of time to recover, climbing up from the rock bottom, to getting myself out of the rut, standing up and walking on my own again. If you would like to know more about what happened to me, the archives bar is on the side column!<\/p>\n

I did not ask for sympathy, not judgement and putting me down, on my plans, why I do things much slower than before. None of you knew what I went through. All I ask for is just understanding.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

During the period of recovery, I started planning to start something, met with delays and hiccups beyond my control that I also had to take responsibility for, in my slow start. Things in life are not that smooth sailing at all, besides that, I am also being more prudent and tactful, not lazy and slow.<\/p>\n

In part 1 of reflecting 2016, I read a number of articles recently that gave me a lot to think about, deeper and further, that I also wanted to share here \u2013<\/p>\n
