What are your goals and plans for 2022
Time flies. Looking back, 2021 is a different year because of Covid and all of us are already used to co-exist with Covid. We work from home, we wear mask and keep social distance. It’s definitely very different than usual. But regardless how your 2021 was, good or bad. It’s already past. So it’s time for us to move on, and hope all of us are feeling refreshed and are ready to embrace the new year.
