I also hope prosperity and peace for all survivors in this world.

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

I hope peace and prosperity in the world.

I pray for peace, too.

I also hope prosperity and peace for all survivors in this world.

Hope two important things may happen:

1. Terrorism may be in control

2. Climate may improve

It may bring peace, prosperity, and happiness!

Dear all

I hope a new medicine which can kill HIV in human body completely.

They have never tried to change me and I wouldn’t change them because if they were anyone else, they wouldn’t be the amazing people that they are.

First of all thanks for this question.

All those who answered hope for peace and better earth to live in.  So do I.

Let us pray and work towards the same.

Wish you all peaceful years ahead.

peace all over the world, the rest we can solve

Best wishes to all of you

I hope most strongly the following for the Japanese society: In 2016 we have House of Councillors election, and we have to make the present governing parties defeat in the election in order to abolish Security Act, which was made in 2015 in spite of the fact that a number of constitutional scholars considered it unconstitutional, i.e., considered that the use of the right to collective self-defense is in violation of Article 9 of Japanese Constitution.

Wishing to all the peers a happy and healthy New Year, I hope for peace, tolerance, cooperation and sustainable development !

I pray that the next year may bring PEACE, that we may ALL live quiet and peaceful, healthy and productive lives in harmony with the environment, caring for humans and caring for our environment, as we should as faithful stewards of this earth.

I am hoping that in 2016 we will be living in a world that is not so much (or less) dominated/bullied by money and power.

Peace and harmony....

I hope more equality and solidarity between countries and continents

Peace, love, charity, solidarity, truth... all the good for all ones.

Dear @Hazim, I do wish you Happy New Year! I do hope that my daughters will get the job finally, while for me and my wife I hope it will be healthy! Unfortunately, there is no hope fore my country soon to be better. I do wish peace to all the world, world without immigrants and refugees! 

“Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man” (Nietzche)

Dear all

I hope that Ebola will not recur and spread in Africa and the world.

Hope everyone cherish life, truly love & do good to others.

I hope that peace and equality prevail and it remains a poor or needy in this world, and I hope my colleagues in researchgate that all their wishes come true in this new year.

We have salute the beginning of 2016 with our prayer that may god protect us for the in human action of certain mankind so that remaining human beings can pass their life peacefully .

It is very difficult to prognosticate the play of almighty & the nature in which mode they may function in their cosmic & natural environment .

The planetary influence of Jupiter a very holy planet is in Leo a sign of planet SUN remaining up to the period of August 2016 & subsequently move towards the sign Virgo .

The movement of very slow planet Saturn remains in the sign of Scorpio which is also the house of MARS .

Last but not the least the Dragon of Head (Rahu) joining the sign Leo where the holy planet Jupiter is presenting passing under the said planetary influence & the cosmic environment it is the humanity rest in human beings have to play the part for making the entire universal a place of peace & harmony .

This is my personal opinion

I wish a Happy New Year to everyone who has answered this question. I do hope that 2016 will bring peace and prosperity for the whole world and save humanity from the cruel hands of terrorism. 

Peace and knowledgement!

I know I am moving from Glory to Glory.

I hope 2016 brings in hope and peace to the strife torn parts of the world.

People who are on the path of destruction need to see the effects of their activities on the human race.

I hope 2016 brings the need to bring environmental consciousness back so that the mother earth can be saved from pollution and destruction.

I hope the politicians of the developing and the developed world come together collaboratively and make the world a beautiful place to live in.  

My hope for 2016 and beyond is for more people to:

• Respect and care for the miraculous web of life;
• Gain clarity amid the chaos; 
• Choose light over darkness;
• Have the courage to be a catalyst for the greatest good;
• Love often 

Best wishes to all for peace, prosperity, and good health.

In 2016 and beyond, we hope all people around the world live in peace without !! poverty, hatred, envy, spying each other, create false reasons to fight each other and stealing each other. We hope justice to spread among people and between countries too.

The New Year is slowly nearing, So first of all Happy New year in advance. I pray for peace, happiness, success and prosperity for all the world. 

I hope good health with be the portion of all researchgate members and peaceful coexistence among all humankind.

I hope that 2016 & the years after carry out the good news of checking those corrupt politicians in some countries who mastermind conspiracies, hatreds, racism, global terrorism, and wars. Life on earth would have been far better if various creeds and "ebony & ivory" live together in perfect harmony as the attached beautiful song says:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSvnIwg0lEA

'Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all....'   [Emily Dickinson]

My hope for myself, my family, friends and all mankind, is that we can sing in tune with each other, knowing that the one and only, beautiful tune which we are all given goes on in harmony forever [whatever the material world tells us so horribly to the opposite].

Words fail, but the tune doesn't.

I hope peace in the world & good news for all who waiting 

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

I thought I had posted this one, but Hazim asked me to post it so here it is.

Oh my. What a timely question. I think everyone needs to work a little for the kind of world I think most of us desire. Hoping without effort doesn't seem to be very effective. For some people, going to visit a country they don't know very much about may help them see as fully human some people they formerly distrusted. I think that is a good way to prepare a path for peace and cooperation. What are some other things we could do?

Brenda, when I saw your "peoples of all stripes", I immediately thought of differently colored cats. We like all the cats, striped or spotty or orange or black or white with orange spots, like my cat Tripper.  Why can't we like all the different ways people are decorated?  It seems stupider and stupider each year.

Dear Martha,

you wrote: "We like all the cats, striped or spotty or orange or black or white with orange spots... Why can't we like all the different ways people are decorated?" THANK YOU for these words.

Dear Brenda,

I understand you: if our family members are healthy, we are happy. I wish you and all RG-ers and their families to be healthy and strong!

Happiness and Success means .....

Love, memories and thanks remain in you.

I wish all here, all the best of Christmas greetings - with its promise of universal Peace on earth, goodwill to all men.

This embraces down-voters, for when I first came to RG, I misunderstood the purpose of down-voting,  and once down-voted what I regarded as unacceptably xenophobic, if not racist, remarks. When I quickly understood RG better, I tried to remove my down-vote, but found that I couldn't. And so, I send my Christmas greetings to all, including the one down-voted, and to all down-voters - of whom I was on that occasion one. In the spirit of Christmas, forgive me in my longing for a better world!

Success,motivation and happiness for the evil,jealous,greedy,unfriendly! More mutual understanding,forgiveness, patience,tolerance among people!

I vote for all the good things everyone else has already done the hard work to think up! 

Let good things happen to you. Don't say, I don't deserve this kindness.  You do!  You deserve all the kindness you give to others.  Don't wait to be happy.  There is nothing more important to do RIGHT NOW!  Love your neighbors, both the ones close to you and the ones you have made on RG.  I'm so glad I wandered into this community!

Happy New Year, whenever it comes! 

Martha

I pray to GOD almighty blesses us all and give us happiness, prosperity and give us all our wishes.

Here in the UK, Queen Elizabeth, in her annual Christmas broadcast to the nation said much referring to refugees, conflict and persecution, and she also quoted an old saying, "it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." 

In the New Year, my hope is that we will all look for the candles that will light up the darkness.

Dear All,

Another year has passed, another year has come.  A new year is like a blank book, and the pen is in your hands. It is your chance to write a beautiful story for yourself. I wish for you that, with every year, you achieve all of your dreams. May God pour love and care on you.

Dear Prof. Omid,

Good Day,

Thank you very much my Dear Colleague for your lovely words and wishes for ALL..

Happy New Year my dear RG fellows! Wish You all the best.

I do bring 2 fine readings about the 2016' expectations/ predictions.

Positive change and transformation

As the new year going to start.I wish may the good times,live on in our memories.and may we learn lessons, from the troubling times.That will make us stronger and better than ever

Thank you, Tareq, for that stimulating if disheartening article.  Coming from a country (not the only but perhaps with more muscle or louder voice) where policy is made by people who disagree on how or whether to approach problems of providing a better quality of life for others, I found this article and many other supporting articles very interesting.  Let's hope that in this new year people will examine their own motives and fears before making policies likely to decrease quality of life for the planet and its people.

Dear Hazim,

I hope that the year 2016 will be an proper year for the world to remind ourselves that we are inhabitants of one planet (no other options yet) and we want to live here in harmony and peace. I hope that will be extinguished many military conflicts and the human rights will be respected at every point of the globe. On a personal, professional level, widening valuable forms of cooperation would be satisfactory. 

I keep hoping that one day, maybe today, the leaders of the world will wake up as if from a bad dream, and say, "How stupid we have been".  And they begin to talk to each other as if suddenly realizing that the others are all human beings too.  "What have we done to the earth and to each other?"  They apologize for all their mistakes and set about canceling all the laws and policies that they've enacted and replacing them with rational and humane laws and policies. 

Dear Hazim, all in Iraq - and all who hope for a better world in 2016,

I think that you would like this, with its good report on the people of Iraq and their generosity: 

http://www.csmonitor.com/Commentary/the-monitors-view/2015/1221/The-Christmas-message-at-work-everywhere

Dear Dr. Margret,

Good Day,

Thank you very much for sharing this lovely report but I was little bit SAD we (Iraq) were not the first generose country (the country that came in second in generosity toward strangers is Iraq).

Oh, dear Hazim, I was hoping that it was good tidings for you, not sad! 

Dear Dr. Margret,

Please, just want you to go and see an old history book on Iraq and read about their culture and how they treat their Guests, Strangers, foreigners or any lost/ stray persons. You will see that we are very very generous and open-handed people! I do not want to say that because I am Iraqi but it is well known fact.

Dear, 

I think that in 2016 I will finish my Master Degree in Mechatronics Management.

And i think that this new year will bring peace all over the world, I hope.

Best regards,

Fatmir Prekupi

Dear Hazim,

To continue with finding good news for you/Iraq/anyone here reading about Iraq's hospitality and repeated again here, from the World Giving Index: 'Iraq comes top in helping a stranger for the first time despite continuing security concerns in the country. Indeed, the remarkable resilience of genersoity in Iraq, which has a strong and diverse culture of religious, tribal and community giving, may well be in some part a response to increased need.'

'Iraq is the country in the world where people are most likely to have helped a stranger, with 79% of people having done so.'

Dear Margaret,

Good Morning,

Thanks for sharing "above", I am so happy to see that! because I know my people, they are so lovely and generous!!! Thank again you made my DAY.

I have only visited two middle-eastern countries,. Jordan and Israel.  .  We were on a study trip looking at ways the enmity of Israelis and Palestinians might be resolved peacefully.   Our first week was in Jordan.  The people were very hospitable and kind.  Also in Israel, when we visited a Palestinian home, the family would bring us delicious sweets and tea or coffee and show us every kindness. For some reason, we weren't taken to any Jewish homes. I think the trip was badly designed in that way.  I would suspect that it is in the Arab and other Muslim cultures to be kind to the stranger.  But knowing Hazim, I would also suspect that Iraqis deserve their distinction of being the world's most hospitable people.  I wish I could visit there sometime. 

Nothing big, just the basic is enough, Live happily and let others do the same
