All the events of the previous year are now in the past. Some days were good, some were bad. Some days were productive, while others were uneventful. The uneventful days didn't leave a lasting impact because they didn't have any significant value. The other days stand out because youyou realize perceive them as valuable. But wisdom helps us understand that nothing is truly valuable, or that everything is equally insignificant.
