Happy New Year: Stay Engaged in 2008/2009

September 1, 2008 by David Zinger 5 Comments

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year

NO! I am not confused.

I celebrate 2 New Years’ Days.

Because I have been around school and university for most of my life it always feels that August is the close of the summer and a new year begins in September with the return to school.

January 1st is my calendar New Year’s Day while September 1st is my psychological and learning New Year’s Day.

I hope you’ll join me in making a New Year’s learning resolution and that this year will be full of learning, performance, enjoyment, energy, and engagement for you.

    What an awesome idea – to celebrate September 1st as a New Year’s Day for learning. I will join you in this challenge!

    I declare that I will spend the next year learning and enjoying life! I look forward to making mistakes, and then learning and growing from them. And having a great year!

    Lance,

    I am glad you and a few others found the idea of today being New Year’s Day helpful.

    My primary focus for this “new year” is on follow-through and follow-up.

    Ramya:
    Perhaps we should start a society that believes New Year’s Day is September 1st. Of course we could also celebrate January 1st too. I am 9 days into the New Year and really enjoying it.
