I would like to wish every reader a very Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2016.

2016 is a major year for changes.

This coming year will bring changes in the US and the world economy due to the upcoming elections for the US government’s Commander-in-Chief–the President. Most economists foresee a stronger growth in the first half of 2016.

Peace, Happiness, and a terror free world are my primary expectations from the New Year.

1. I expect freedom from discrimination and persecution in the world
2. Protecting forests, rivers and oceans for the future and betterment of our next generations
3. An honest and responsive government so that people don’t abuse and exploit loophole of the system and government official don’t take advantages of their position either.
4. Affordable and nutritious food for everyone to have a healthy lifestyle.
5. Support for the basic necessities for the People who aren’t able to work.
6. Better and affordable Healthcare plan for everyone, regardless of their status.
7. Better job opportunities for the people to Support themselves and those who depend on them.
8. Action plan to be well prepared for any natural disaster due to the changing climate.
9. A good and affordable Education, to make the youth more sensible and responsible etc…

Usually New Year’s resolutions don’t work, period. But the optimism of the New Year makes January a great time to plan the rest of the year ahead.
