The year ahead
2009, economic, life, new year, oil, priceA new chapter will open soon. Have you fulfilled this year’s chapter? The 2008 vision, mission, resolutions… or what ever you would like to call it. Every year, at the beginning of the year, people lay out their plan, their yearly master plan. And some love to frame their resolutions and probably call it Holiday frames resolutions.
But plan or resolution is just something you promised to fulfill… hoping to fulfill them without knowing what are ahead of you for the next 12 months, 365 days or 8760 hours.
This year, 2008, I believe most of us never expected the oil will shoot up to almost $150 per barrel in the middle of the year. But some were so excited that it will shoot up to $170 by the end of 2008.
But look… just look at the whole world economic right now! You don’t see $150 or $170 per barrel right now! Not even $100. It drippings to almost $30 per barrel right now! The whole world economic has tumbled down.
Although cheaper oil means cheaper gas, petrol or diesel for us, but the drippings of oil price as usual bring along with it bigger trouble… economic meltdown.
Countries which do not have other resources other than oil… Countries which depend too much on their oil revenue… will face the greatest economic meltdown…
But let’s hope the economic meltdown don’t bother us so much next year. Hopefully everyone will be happy with what they have.
Happy New Year 2009… P E A C E
