D ecember draws the year to a close. E veryone's ears seem to stand on tiptoes C hecking the airwaves for awesome news. E ngaging in blows or forging truce M ainly because of clothes and food would B e partners in every neighbourhood. E nvy and strife would turn harlot R oaming homes and shops to bite a lot.

N ow, like jest the year draws to a close. O ne might just wonder if all along you doze. V exation might eat you up if in your task E very now and then you’ve failed or you’d just bask M ightily if in it you do excel. B ut should we place our worth in the one-year scale? E mphasize being and doing your best daily; R ace always with a winning mentality.

O odles of dreams, hopes and despair C ertainly litter every calendar. T he paramount thing is don't fear O r relent to perform better. B eing bold is the best way to go; E nthusiasm you must borrow; R esolve contentment too to know.

S o the ‘ember’ months so soon are back? E veryone everywhere seems to remember P romises made – are they on or off track? T o those whose goals have been realized, E xcitement beckons as they ride M agnificently the tail end of the year B ut for those not sure, they’re gripped with fear. E nter the last phase with great caution; R ace to win but within regulation.

  A ll your great dreams – have they come to fruition? U nclear still is the path of your vision? G rab your thinking cap (it’s not late) and re-dream. U nless you move, you’d get stuck and without a beam. S earch hard to see what you could haul in with your net. T ake time to explore, exploit and update.

J ust keep praying and working to be the best; U tilize all chances more in you to invest; L essen frivolities that'd steal from your nest; Y our hard work and prudence dictate your harvest.

J olly well learn to rest and work at same time; U nclutter (or declutter) your life’s page and nicely punctuate it. N ever lose sight of your goal as anything else is a crime; E ndeavour, notwithstanding the hiccups, a great end to hit.

M ay we rest a bit and pray for decent rain A ll the seeds we’d sown to water and make them grow Y ielding in due time dividends to our greatest gain.

A ll around me, crops and trees richly bear fruits: P ears, corn, papayas, avocados and mangoes; R ain has returned to help water their roots; I n the farms, people work the ground with their hoes. L et’s learn from them – still time our dream seeds to sow.

  M arching gradually deep into the New Year: A ll resolutions kept or have you broken some? R ealign yourself if so but if a beam you wear C ause the right boot isn't on wrong foot worn - H old on tight and see your game this year is won.

F all in, let us steer round to some robust economics: E very goal achieved has opportunity cost; B uilding empire means you'd take some dire risks; R ounding up time for something means time for others is lost. U nless you stop gallivanting, time would be scant; A dd discipline to yourself and every dream you'd realize; R aise the bar - shun things that to your goals aren't at a slant - Y eah, grabbing goals means to reckless fun you'd shut your eyes.
