I come from China, and according to our lunar calendar, a few days later will be the new year 2010 of tiger. We all know that 2010 is a very meaningful year, which is the end of the previous ten years as well as the start of the following decade. And as for me, 2010 will also be a turning point in my life. Before 2010, I was a student at school whose main task was to study, but since 2010 I have become a social person and need to find a job to support myself independently. In other words 2010 means the end of my student life and the start of my job life. So, to me, 2010 is gonna be uncertain and challenging but full of hope and chances. I wish all the best of my 2010 and I wish you all good luck in 2010.

to be honest the year 2010 is just another year no different to any of the other years 2009 2000 etc etc I treat the years as purely numbers and it means I am a year older and uglier lol,

And I try to find it out this year. A friend of mine said a beautiful, peaceful,smart and kind-hearted girl is me just now. Thank you ,my friend.Who I gonna to be?Who I want to be? That's really a big question.And I always confused about it.Hope I can get an answer in the year 2010.May by travel alone.Good luck to all of you and me.

I don't usually believe of the thought "new year - new beginning." Because indeed, everyday, when you wake up, it's already a new beginning. Well what does 2010 means to me? It only means that I'm getting older, maybe.lol And that I have been receiving 22 years of many blessings since the year I was born. If say new opportunity, well everyday is a new opportunity. I couldn't think of anything else worth meaningful.

2010 means that it is a year closer for me to graduate, get a license, be a real adult and maybe get my own job. Also, I'm getting older by a year!

Coming into a new year has be refreshing in order to get a good start in the year. 2010 seems to have great promise. My outlook for a year since I've been an adult has never been brighter. That's Exciting! To have that feeling when everything around seems uncertain is promising. There's hope. Hope brings smiles, motivation, that go ol' go-get'em attitude. Waking up knowing the sky is the limit puts a pep in your step. That happines puts love back in the world. What is your vision of 2010? Are you happy?

yes, you are right, uncertain things are promising so there's hope. since I have failed a lot of times in 2009, I really expect I can be gained some sense of achievement in 2010. so , i hope 2010 can bring me a little more success. I am happy now, and I hope I can be much happier in a new year. hope you happy everyday too

This is the year that I will get out of debt. Last year I made more of an effort to develop a social life, and now see my friends more often, but this will be the year that I will get my finances in order.

hi, Lily, I am from China too. Nice to meet you here. Well, the year 2010 does not mean too much for me, nor the coming spring festival. I am not much into any festival celebrations because virtually there are few celebrations expect eating in a big family reunion or eating in restaurant. So narrowly speaking, festivals mainly mean eating greedily all the time in China, at least in the northeastern part of China. This year is another round of challenge to me. I am working in a new company. There are many things awaiting me to establish and make it work. so the task is quite tough but challenging. I like that. I would like to see something build from the ground. As to wishes, one my my wishes is to get smart financially this year because I would like to change my investment schedule. I want to adjust the proportion a lot. To be more daring in it.

how lucky~ nice to meet you too. I totally agree with you on your feeling about Chinese spring festival---eating here and there together with this group and that group. hehe, maybe this is the essence of our festivals. who knows? wish you have a good time~

For me, 2010 means the beginning of a whole new decade. A chance to wipe the slate clean and make the best of the next ten years that are ahead. So far, it's been fantastic
