2. “ The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on
fighting the old, but on building the new.” - Dan Millman
As we bid adieu to this great year ,we must remember that
when something ends, new begins .Every day is a new
beginning and the start of your new life. The past is gone
and the future has not arrived yet. Therefore we must
focus all our energies not in trying to change our past but
in creating our present moment. Believe in your strengths
and embrace the end as a new beginning, and with faith
and confidence keep moving in the direction of your
dreams. With this positive note, team MPS wishes you all
a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with joy and
happiness.
