Lessons from Winter

I received a copy of Monocle Alpino this afternoon and had been reading it for the entire evening. I do not intend to promote the publication in this post but just want to share an inspiring essays section in it.

There are ten articles about winter and related topics from so many different perspectives, each teaching me a thing or two about certain subject; on how saw-making needs to consider the “ice factor”, on the existence of a job called ice-meister who is responsible for making sure that the ice surface is perfect for skating and on how the notion of hand-knitted has changed over time.

The world is indeed a very big place and there will always be new things to learn. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for making 2012 an excellent year. The best is yet to be!
