Happy Chinese New Year!

As we usher in the Year of the Dog, it is also time to do some reflections...
I find the following phrases particularly meaningful.

一年之计在于春
一日之计在于晨
一家之计在于和
一身之计在于勤

roughly translated:
The most important harvest of the year is autumn
The most effective time of the day is the morning
The most important aspect of the family is togetherness
The most important aspect of oneself is to be hardworking.


And of course, to all Chinese readers...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

新年快乐

万事如意
