When you remember the New Year, the first thing that comes to mind is to make a vow of what can be changed in your life. Resolution alone is not enough to make our lives better. We need to take a vow this time around in a way that benefits the environment in which we live. Because if we need to keep any promise, the environment must help and support us for our survival. Along with that, it is a good habit to record income and expenses accurately. It reminds me again that the New Year is a good time for new hopes and promises. We should keep in mind the good experiences of the previous year and try to erase the bad ones. It is also time to start trying to achieve new things as it is the beginning stage of happiness and peace.

The birth of 2022 is like the impact of a roller coaster on the lives of many. Let me also tell you why this New Year is going to be so much happier for us. The first joy is that I, as I write this, and you who read this are alive today. Many of the people who were with us at the beginning of 2021 are no longer with us today. So it's normal that I'm writing this article in the New Year and you've been reading it. Gone are the years when we saw science prevail over diseases. It gives us great pleasure to have the opportunity to reflect on the recent challenges facing mankind in a fast-paced and timely manner and to think of a time of optimism.

People, once again have realized that health, food and family are the most important things for a human being. There is no doubt that this will be remembered by at least one generation. Twenty years have passed since the development of technologies to teach lessons to good teachers from all over the world and to students from all over the world. But by 2021, 150 million students and the millions of teachers who teach them will be really familiar with these methods. It would take at least a decade for such a change to take place. We must move forward realizing that this will be the basis of education in the future. From now on, people will have the opportunity to learn the most interesting topics and the latest changes in that subject directly from the best teachers in the world, for free.

This is the year when there are no boundaries for jobs. 'Work from home' was once the only option for those in the IT industry and was like a freebie to employees. But research shows that as billions of people began to work from home, employers not only saw office rents and electricity costs fall, but also increased productivity at work. The new management mantra is 'work from home is working'. Employers are now researching whether any work in the world can be done, as work from home. The New Year will be a world of work without the borders of the country, as more and more jobs can be worked upon from the comforts of home.

The news that the golden age of tourism is coming is also a positive one for the New Year. There is nothing that educates us like travel. But over the last two years, even our trips to the next city have dropped dramatically. With the development of the airline and tourism sector, one can expect a jump in tourism and travel.

There is no doubt that there will be comprehensive changes in the health sector this year. Gone are the years when we had to make some very difficult decisions as to who should be provided with healthcare facilities, including ICUs and ventilators. At the same time, there will be huge impact in the health sector around the world. As digital health becomes universal, healthier habits will be promoted and more money will be available for health research. In general, a healthier life is going to happen now.

Likes, shares and opinion polls on social media were the basis of last year's policy making, but not numbers and logic. One can hope that this is going to be a relatively good year where science-based decisions are made. There will once again be opportunities in the world for scientifically effective leadership to formulate policies based on the information available. Another gift of the New Year is the time when the world stands united across borders, caste, religion, colour and race. Global consensus and collective action might be on the cards on still-unresolved-issues of this generation, such as climate change. The time is coming when global cooperation will be even stronger. Technologies, including artificial intelligence and robotics, are coming at us like a huge wave. If we could exploit the potential of these technologies, we would be able to make a leap that is unimaginably big today. Let's prepare for it, our 2022! Happy New Year to all once again ..!
