Season's Greetings
The Season's Greetings are usually an opportunity to show originality but also to convey an important message.
For proGective, this is an important time. We take the time to reflect about the last year and its highlights and about the coming year and what we need the most to move from the previous year to a more desirable new year.
Then we are ready to formulate our wishes so that they are more than just a moment of courtesy or conviviality.
Thus:
Season's Greetings 2011
"Cities are Bibles in stone. It was not a dome, not a roof, not a box that has somethingto say in the direction of the alliance and union, and who gives a lesson, an example or advice. That people come to this wonderful alphabet of monuments, tombs and trophies to spell peace and unlearn hatred. "Victor Hugo,"Paris", 1867, p. 107
At the heart of the cities of tomorrow, proGective wishes you a very Urbane Year 2011 (urbanity: affability given by knowledge of the world).
for the Year 2010
After a long season -a winter of crisis and moroseness-
Comes the time of revival: new ways of doing, living, thinking; new behaviours; and new trust...
proGective wishes you a very Humane 2010!
for the Year 2009
In order to pay tribute to 2009, we offered you a moment of 'long time' with a musical card.
May 2009 teach us again Inner Wisdom, Freedom of Mind and "Futuresdom": the Sense of the Future!
for the Year 2008
To cross 2008, we focused on the bridges...
We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it, but this world is owned by men who have 'crossed bridges' in their imagination far ahead of the crowd. [… ]
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. [Nikita KHRUSHCHEV]
Teachers are those who use themselves as bridges, over which they invite their students to cross; then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own. [Nikos KAZANTZAKIS]
We build too many walls and not enough bridges. [Isaac NEWTON ]
proGective wishes you a Year 2008 rich of bridges...
for the Year 2007
In order to celebrate 2007, we reminded you of Buckminster FULLER's genius.
"There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance".
With Buckminster FULLER , one of the most fascinating and original minds of his century, proGective wants to believe that we are the unique shapers of our future and wishes you a very Creative and Constructive Year 2007!
“For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. Only ten years ago the ‘more with less’ technology reached the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option to become enduringly successful.” – R. Buckminster FULLER, 1980
for the Year 2006
2005 is about to end.
Tsunami, hurricanes, geopolitical situation… have spread fear in a lot of minds. But tomorrow will be different and it is up to us to make it worse or better.
Our best wishes for the New Year 2006!
