What have we learned?

摘要

December is a month for rushing to conclusions. There's a rush to plan and stage memorable holidays. The rush to organize our books and inventories. The rush to finalize goals and obligations before the calendar turns again. We all have commitments to meet. For me, every December finds me in a rush to write one or two, or more, columns in which I'm expected to capsulize the ideas and insights of the past year, and to set a thoughtful tone for a new one ahead.
