Hey guys! I was thinking that since New Year is around the corner.So why not have the members post their hopes for the New Year in the YFCI Blog? Please post here and tell us your hopes and aspirations - a) about yourself and your life
b) about your community or country
c) about the world and this planet in generalWhat are your hopes, aspirations, concerns or wishes for all of the above for the new year? Please post in this thread.And as you all post here, then we can compile all of your comments/opinions and post them in the YFCI blog.Or, if you like then I think you can post your thoughts directly to the YFCI Blog. This will serve as a platform to voice our aspirations for the New Year as well as keep our blog active.So what say?I think we should get started with this! Happy New Year to all!

a) about yourself and your life: I really hope I continue to do good in school, but mainly continue to have a good life and continue making a difference. b) about your community or country: To get out of Iraq, Afganistan. To stop the war on poverty in this country. To stop the war in Washington (politically that is ) c) about the world and this planet in general: For the youth of the world to continue to show enthusiasm in making the world a better place.

a) about yourself and your life: I want to continue my childhood dream which is to become an International Lawyer. I also hope I can work with an international ngo where I could serve, write and travel at the same time.
b) about my community or country: I wish people in my country are more compassionate and patriotic. I wish there will be less corruption, envy and greed specially in the government (technically speaking). Also, I wish the youth will participate in changing the community to be a better place to live in.
c) about the world and this planet in general: No more war. Less atrocities. More open to differences of beliefs and practices.

it meant environmental!!! LOL Oh!So, "invermental" means "environmental"!Now I get it!It seems it'll take time for me to understand your vocabulary.But don't worry, I'll make an attempt to learn and decipher it! Anyway, thanks for enlightening me! To everyone -We need to compile the "New Year Hopes" section by the end of January maximum.Otherwise, what's the point of "new year"?So all those who're yet to post their thoughts, should please post latest by the last week of January, preferably 29th of Jan.Thanks!

As for my own hopes/concerns, here they are -
a) about yourself and your life: To be more organised and manage my time effectively.I'd like to be more focussed and set my priorities right.Stop worrying and have more faith in myself and my abilities.To try to think positively and hope for the best.
b) about your community or country: I hope the people stop fighting over the issues of caste and religion.Equality and harmony be promoted.Justice is made equally available to both rich and the poor.And the youth should be more actively involved to work for the betterment of their communities and the country.Its time we stopped blaming the government and take initiative ourselves.Everyone should try to make a difference on their own level in whatever way they can.
c) about the world and this planet in general: The countries should stop meddling in the affairs or matters of other countries.The possibilities of war and conflict should be avoided.Please live and let live! Please stop destroying the very planet that sustains us.

Aha, I have an idea. How about we publish it in our April issue of the magazine? or should we post it in the blog or Member Opinions? It's up to you guys.

Post this either in the "Member Opinions" section or the blog.The newsletter will be in April, so it'll be too late for "new year" since we're writing our hopes for the new year.Like I said yesterday,"We need to compile the "New Year Hopes" section by the end of January maximum.Otherwise, what's the point of "new year"?So all those who're yet to post their thoughts, should please post latest by the last week of January, preferably 29th of Jan."
New Year is discussed in January.April will be rather late, I suppose.That's my opinion only.If anyone thinks otherwise, then we can consider it.

: a) about yourself and your life: Well I hope I'll pass this year of school, that I can make more of a difference to the world. I'd really to go to Los Angeles but I don't think that'll be anything soon, I'd really like to meet Alyssa and Oprah but that's not going to happen anytime soon either would be nice if it could though. b) about your community or country:I hope that we get new elections and that the governement we get will finally start caring about the people instead of the money. And that the growing poverty in my country'll stop. And that the economy will start to work for everyone not just the rich people. I hope we'll stay save from terrorist attacks. And I certainly hope we won't have Balkenende (better known as the dutch Harry Potter) as our Prime- Minister anymore. Oh and one more thing we have had a lot of murders in the past year, especially among childeren I hope that'll stop as well. c) about the world and this planet in general:I hope we get to find something to stop the global warming it's already becoming a problem and it's rising fast. We have such strange weather, it's very windy and it hasn't been below 0 degrees c yet which very strange as the winter is almost over. I hope we'll have less wars and attacks. I hope we'll get a good breakthrough on poverty and the tropical diseases like HIV. I hope that no more people have to fear for their lives because of wars, and fights that no more childeren and innocents will have to die because of this. And I hope we'll be spared from disasters like Katrine or the Tsunami.
