2012

by Doug Shaw on December 15, 2011

You can tell we’re running headlong towards the end of a year, as predictions for the next one abound. They make me cringe, and I’m joining in. Here goes:

2012 is gonna be fab.

I just haven’t worked out why yet.

The recession ends here. Now get out there and make it happen.

And so say all of us!

Enough with the doom and gloom – can’t we talk ourselves out of this???!

Doug,

I’m thinking back to the beginning of 2011 and there’s no way that I could have predicted that so much would have changed and happened for me this year.
So for 2012 I won’t predict anything and only ask that it’s as challenging, inspiring and eventful as this year.

Mark

Hello Mark. Challenging, eventful and inspiring. I’d settle for that – I’m so pleased our paths have crossed this year, and I look forward to them doing so again next year.

And it will be! All of us can all do the things we do better and just reflecting on what you didn’t do as well as you could in 2011 will make 2012 better!
Rock on 2012!

I don’t want to do all the things I’ve done better, just a few. I’m pausing only briefly to reflect and learn before cracking on with a whole new bunch of ideas, experiments, failures, learning and successes. Cheers – Doug

I’m still here at the end of 2011 – therefore it has been great. The good bits have been really good, the bad bits bad but as they say, if it doesn’t kill you then it makes you stronger.

2012 – bring it on

and thanks to SDDT for being my little ray of sunshine in the corporate gloom that can easily take over a day.
