How time flies, it's just amazing to see that in a few hours time 2017 is gone and dusted. It was just like yesterday when 2016 passed the baton to 2017 and 2017 is likewise passing the baton to 2018.

It is already a known fact that today marks the last day of the year 2017; a day at which the journey of 365 days comes to an end, a day of thanksgiving and merriment; celebrating the successful completion of another yearly cycle. Many celebrate today with lots of festivities to come tomorrow( marking the beginning of another new year).
Yes, today is a day to celebrate yet also a day to think carefully by taking a thorough review of how the year all went. Taking into full consideration moment of strength, weakness, happiness, and sadness through the course of the year.

The Need For Yearly Review

To mo de ba subu awo waju
Ta gba ba subu awo eyin wo

The saying above is a Yoruba( an ethnic group in Nigeria) adage which literally means when a child trips he looks forward while an adult looks backward whenever he/she trips

It takes only wisdom to reminisce about the past and only the wise dims it fit to correct their wrongs from their past. You might think I am speaking in parables, you might not understand what I'm trying to pass across yet but all you need is to think deep to see where I'm navigating my thought.

Taking a review of how our year all went putting into consideration our wrongs and also our area of strength is crucial in promoting our way of life as it gives us a vivid picture of our current state and also an idea of that particular aspect of our life we need to work on.

A yearly review also helps in developing a plan for the year to come. The review helps you to understand your weakness and strength therefore important to improving your year.

Take a review of the year 2017
Fix the year 2018

Wishing you all a prosperous new year.
