As I sit in my home office surrounded by pictures of family and friends, I reflected on what went right and wrong in 2007 so that I can learn from it. Part of that process included reading other peoples' 2007/2008 wish lists. For the most part, what a load of Bollocks (to quote The Sex Pistols) - So I thought I would go in a different direction - Things that should happen in 2008 but just will not:
10. All politicians will be honest (maybe we need more of these -http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1550818,00.html)
9. All advertisements by celebrities will be humorous but ring true (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boVhb1lSOkc)
8. A full year without war anywhere in the world (apparently there have been 268 in the last 3,461 years - http://www.global-issues.net/In_Depth/conflict2.htm)
7. Everyone should go on a vacation to somewhere they haven't been before to get a better perspective on the world and what we all have (e.g. somewhere like these luxury places http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjOE52qUuUM)
6. More people should learn a second language as Robin Williams has (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3636435540043947603)
5. Every enterprise will get funding
1. Top ten lists should be a few entries short so that at the end of the year you can add more entries that were right to make you look really smart.
Take care and have a great year!
