As 2025 begins, have you set any new goals for yourself? Reading everyone’s year-end reflections last week and now seeing your New Year resolutions fills me with motivation. Even without a clear target initially, the energy of this season inspires a fresh start. Let me introduce a few coffee cup recommendations while we chat about New Year aspirations!

2024 was a challenging year, wasn’t it? With age, life can feel less vivid—especially when it comes to the passage of time. Once, we could instantly recall our age or the year, but these days, it takes a moment of reflection. Just as we’ve grown accustomed to writing “2024” instead of “2023,” here we are in 2025.

2025 marks the quarter-century milestone of the 21st century. Reflecting on the years from 2000 to 2025, the rapid evolution of technology and life feels like a science fiction explosion. Remember the MP3s and MP4s? Every PC came with a CD burner, and mastering the art of burning discs was a coveted skill back then.

Smartphones were still a novelty, and games like Angry Birds ruled the scene. In Taiwan, brands like HTC and Sony Ericsson thrived before giving way to the likes of Samsung and Apple. BlackBerry phones, once a status symbol, quickly faded. Fast forward to today, and we’re in a 5G and AI-driven era.

Modernity charges at us like an oncoming truck, and amidst this whirlwind of compressed progress, it’s easy to feel left behind. Business magazines urge us to keep pace, but we often forget to pause and reflect, stumbling as we attempt to catch up.

So this year, my wish is simple: to live a grounded, healthy life. To stay steady and ensure I don’t fall too far behind. By anchoring ourselves, we can better navigate both personal and societal journeys. Let’s embrace 2025 with a sense of stability and abundance.
