Regis asked him to share with the viewers what he thought everyone needed in this coming year. Here is what he said:
Everyone needs to have:
1. Something to do.
2. Someone to love.
3. Something to hope for.
4. Someone to believe in.
He went to say (and I am paraphrasing a bit) that if a person has these three things, they are going to be alright. If you do not have one or more of these things, I sincerely hope that 2006 is the year you find that which is missing.
Lou may only be a football coach, but he is a smart one. Many people can say they owe their success to being a well-rounded person, first. Whatever they do turns to gold, because their well-rounded approach to things gets them through adversity and makes them a stronger person in the process.
If any that read this site are missing any of these four things, I (like Lou) hope that this is the year that you are able to complete this puzzle. Whether it's a job, a special someone, or whatever, I hope this is the year for you.
Stay safe, may God Bless, and Happy New Year!!!

A great New Year's posting and very uplifting.
I've been married for almost 34 years (#1-#4), have four cats (#1), and am a teacher (#1, #3), so I guess that I have all four of these items. LOL.
Some people have all four--and don't recognize that fact. Those are the saddest people of all.
Happy New Year! The four needs you mention are necessary for the whole year.
And the meaning? "Happy New Year" is a subjunctive mood, coming from "I wish you happy new year." I think it means the whole year.
In Japanese, people say "Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu", which is translated "Happy New Year" in English. But the real meaning in this case is "Congratulation, new year has come." This is a direct mood, and adequate only in early January.
Lessons learned? Yes, we have to keep New Year motivations throughout the year. Also, don't trust the dictionary blindly. We need to understand the nuance of new expressions when we learn languages.
