As 2018 winds down, people worldwide are reflecting on triumphs, challenges, and dreams—and crafting New Year’s resolutions with hope. From young professionals in Shanghai to migrants reshaping their lives in Honduras, one theme unites us all: the pursuit of growth. 🌱
Through interviews with global voices, two words dominated 2018 reflections: ‘challenging’ and ‘grateful’. A Berlin-based artist called it a “year of hustle,” while a teacher in Nairobi shared, “Every small victory mattered.” Migrants highlighted resilience, with one Honduran parent saying, “I crossed borders so my kids could chase better dreams.”
For 2019, aspirations range from personal goals (👩💻 “Launch my startup!”) to global wishes (🌏 “Less division, more empathy”). In China, young professionals are balancing career ambitions with family traditions—think midnight dumpling-making sessions paired with LinkedIn updates. 🥟💼
What’s your resolution? Whether it’s mastering a language or fighting climate change, share your 2019 vision online—it might just inspire someone across the Taiwan Strait or beyond. 🎇
