As we embrace the Year of the Dragon in Chinese culture, the symbolism of this mythical and powerful creature couldn't be more fitting. Renowned for embodying authority, honor, and dignity, the dragon holds a special place in the 12-animal Chinese zodiac, particularly revered in China and Japan for its representation of imperial power throughout history. This year promises a marked contrast to the introspective and cautious sentiments of the previous Year of the Rabbit. While we cautiously tested the waters last year, the Year of the Dragon invites us to dive headfirst into the adventures that lie ahead. Speaking of adventures, January has already ushered in a fantastic start for us, marked by signed real estate contracts. Furthermore, my younger son and I embarked on an exhilarating Asian journey encompassing India, Nepal, and Japan. Our travels, a blend of business engagements and cherished moments with valued clients, also afforded us the opportunity to support an incredible charity, WE RAISE HOPE (Please Click Here To View More) For a glimpse into the impact of our involvement, I invite you to watch an inspiring 3 minute video clip from the charity's founder, Alberto Luzzi - (Please Click Here To Watch) Warm regards to one and all - Kevin
当我们迎接中国文化中的龙年时,这种神秘而强大的生物的象征意义再合适不过了。 龙以象征权威、荣誉和尊严而闻名,在中国十二生肖中占有特殊的地位,在中国和日本尤其受到尊重,因为它在历史上代表着皇权。 今年与去年兔年的内省和谨慎情绪形成鲜明对比。 虽然我们去年谨慎地试水,但龙年邀请我们一头扎进未来的冒险。 说到冒险,一月份已经为我们带来了一个美妙的开始,以签署房地产合同为标志。 此外,我和我的小儿子开始了一段令人兴奋的亚洲之旅,包括印度、尼泊尔和日本。 我们的旅行融合了商务活动和与尊贵客户的珍贵时刻,也让我们有机会支持一个令人难以置信的慈善机构“WE RAISE HOPE” - (Please Click Here To View More)。 为了一睹我们参与的影响,我邀请您观看该慈善机构创始人 Alberto Luzzi - (Please Click Here To Watch) 制作的鼓舞人心的 3 分钟视频剪辑 - 向所有人致以诚挚的问候— 凯文
