Dear friends, new and old,
As suddenly as it arrived, 2015 has ended and 2016 is at the gate. As it is, the year stands empty – but it is brimming with potential.
It is my sincere wish that the upcoming year will be prosperous, rich in experiences and filled with happiness – and similarly that it will be poor in adversity and pessimism.
I take this opportunity to wish you a particularly happy new year.
