Good morning, Happy Rosh Hashanah, both to those who celebrate and those who don’t! Let’s celebrate all the new years days—Persian, Chinese, Jewish, Muslin—whatever—it’s another chance to start anew. Any new year offers us the chance to consider the past and contemplate the future. But contemplation isn’t enough. Too often we think about the future and fail to act in ways that could shape that future. When we look back in history, it all seems inevitable, yet is not. Real men and women have greeted each new year with hope and anxiety. Some used their hopes and anxieties to help shape how they would improve themselves in the coming year; others to help shape how they would improve the world. Most did nothing.
