No. 44 – 28 November 2012

Dear friend

One month remains in 2012. How are you doing with your dreams and aspirations for this year?

In the last month of 2012, the year of the dragon, I hope you can soar once again like a dragon rising to the sky to accomplish those goals you have yet completed.

And, if things do not happen as planned, there is nothing to lose. 2013 has many great opportunities waiting for us.

After I finished writing greetings for this week’s newsletter on Tuesday (11/27), Ashraf Dali, editor-in-chief of the AsiaN’s Arabic edition reported about news on Wael Ghonim’s facebook page concerning democratization in Egypt. It is exciting to see Wael Ghonim, a leading civic activist during the Arab Spring 2011 and a marketing manager at Google Middle East and North Africa, getting involved again. I felt especially compelled to share with our AsiaN readers about the future following the Egyptian revolution.

We decided to restructure this week’s newsletter to share top stories concerning democratization in Egypt. Even though I had to rewrite my newsletter greetings, I am very happy to be able to share with all of you about the situation in Egypt at this time.
Let us hope for a 2nd Arab Spring.

I would like to share the poem, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. May it bring you strength and happiness throughout the day.

The Road Not Taken/ Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence;

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I ……

I took the one less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.

P.S. Robert Lee Frost (1874~1963) was born in San Francisco, U.S. At the age of 10, he lost his father and moved to a farm in Vermont, New England. He worked on sunny days and read books on rainy days. Often portraying realistic rural scenes of nature and farmers in his works, he is known as one of the purest classical modern poets of America today.
