Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2008

For your support and encouragement, the founders and the resident contributors thank all of you for a wonderful year of 2008. We have passed a very turbulent year and are about to brace in the midst of a difficult time. According to an experienced investor I know, this may be the worst financial crisis we see in our lifetime and yet there is hope. The greatest wealth are often created in the times of great difficult times. In bad times, we should conjure a famous quote by Winston Churchill during World War II in the darkest moment, “Never, never, never give up!”. We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and hope that the coming year will bring good fortune and health to all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Event: InteresThink 3 – Causes and Ideas

InteresThink is a series of multi-disciplinary conferences that aim to bring people and ideas from different disciplines and industries together. They believe that to solve today’s increasingly complex problems, radical collaboration and innovation is needed.

InteresThink 3, will be held on 12 December 2008 at the The Pod at the National Library. The theme for this edition is “Causes and Ideas” and it aims to highlight and explore important causes and cutting edge ideas. You can register via Facebook or thru their wiki here.
