2020 is around the corner and it’s time to reflect on what you have achieved this year as well as setting goals for next year. Next year is a unique one for many reasons. First off, it’s a rare case that a year consists of two equal numbers such as 1717, 1818, 1919 and now 2020. That’s quite remarkable, isn’t it?
Secondly, 2020 will be the year Great Britain will finally leave the European Union for good and Donald Trump will get reelected as president of the United States of America. Also, in 2020 Facebook will launch its own cryptocurrency called ‘Libra’ and Fridays For Future will continue their fight against the fossil fuel lobby together with Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace and many other organizations across the globe.
However, I want to know what exactly you are planning to do in 2020? What are your goals for next year? Do you want to learn a new language, meet new people and travel abroad? Or do you want to get a new job or start your own business? Please let me if you have already thought about these questions.
Torsten, you have provided good food for thought and action, particularly to the youngsters who are dynamic and who consider life to be meaningful.
As a septuagenarian, I do not harbour any ambition now. I have already been on this forum and on Quora answering hundreds of questions. I hope to continue it. Meanwhile, I am planning to revise my book for its next edition to be brought out in 2020, a beautiful year as you say.
Well, though the year 2020 is unique, I am not inclined to expect all that you have predicted in your second paragraph to be true.
Maybe we can start a little German language training group together with @Andrea who also speaks some German and will make progress very quickly because of her linguistic background…
