How do we shake off the mustiness in 2009 and get a pretty good start in 2010?
One way is to relive the good old memories in 2009 and previous years. The time I spent with the regular members of the Loboc Children’s Choir tops them all. The choir had a practice in their make shift studio. We were invited to listen in up close. That was far more special than being in the front row in an auditorium.
A secondary treat when you catch them in practice is that you get to see and listen to the second liners – the six to eight-year old kids who will carry on the tradition of top level international singing. I was able to listen to and watch the regulars perform again in October 2009. They were still awesome and oh, so grown up.
Another way is to look at the present as part of your desired future. Writer C.C. Noble says that “you must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated with shortterm failures.” I agree. The future is our hope. And the best way to prepare for that future is to begin. Viewing the present from the perspective of a desired future gives more meaning to the challenges, difficulties, problems and mustiness of the past.
To shake off the cobwebs of 2009, I am looking forward to 2015 when Acre, Inc. is the leading online research company in the Philippines. The OR-TRACK team of Acre, Inc. crafted a roadmap to 2020.
The first attempt is through Makilahok, an online survey covering four modules – halalan, isyu, pinuno and pangarap. There will be more in 2010. Watch out for other online research products.
