Between now and tomorrow lies the future. Some hours, minutes or seconds can change our lives. We all look back sometimes. And why shouldn't we? The past has created us to who we are now. But more than all, looking forward is what makes life so beautiful.

Wishing you and all your loved ones a Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year.

And what a start to the new year!!

• Great sunny weather more or less all over New Zealand with so now and then a little watering welcomed by all.
• A Government that appears to be alert to what is happening in New Zealand and other countries and acts upon their findings. Critics may disagree, to me however, it appears that the PM has everything well organised and covered.
• A new road connecting Auckland with the north of the country through a fantastic toll road cutting the travel time significantly. Why only one lane and not a double lane remains remains for me a question.
• With regards to Terra Nova Consultancy Ltd, December and January have been excellent. Long may it continue!

This month I would like to quote the former CEO of General Motors, Lee Iacocca; " The ability to concentrate and use your time well is everything if you want to succeed in business. If you want to make good use of your time you've got to know what is most important and then give it all you've got!"
