New Year Resolutions – At Least try and fail
Welcome to my new post on New year resolutions. I want to thank my friend my friend Shoba for tagging me. And about New Year Resolutions – I have taken quite a few resolutions in the past (not necessarily at the beginning of the year) and as always with me never attempted to keep up. When I started blogging I thought of writing at least two blogs every month, but I am not able do so I took a resolution to stop losing money by investing in markets. But I continue to invest and thereby continuing my losing streak (greed or impatience I am not able to find the reason).
Below are my resolutions and hope that at least my friends will make me keep up my resolutions by keeping a periodic tab on whether I keep up my resolutions.
- Try to live in the present. For me it means a lot.
- Stop worrying about where my career is leading me. Learn more and perform better by putting my heart and soul into whatever I do.
- Take small steps at a time and keep short term goals. I remember Shoba telling me “Measure your success everyday and feel happy about what you have accomplished”.
- Cause of my elation or dejection should be myself not others. For the readers this might sound philosophical. I feel this is important for self development. A point which Vaidy made comes to my mind “We are far better than what we think we are”. என்னை தவிர எவராலும் எனக்கு ஏமாற்றம் எழாது…. என்னை தவிர எவராலும் எனக்கு பேரின்பம் எழாது….
- Exercise regularly. The toughest of all the ones to keep up with.
- One thing I learnt in an academy training. Stop talking … Start listening… Listening is what we are least trained for in our society… I need to start practicing it…
- Learn to read and write my mother tounge Telugu… பாரதி தெலுங்கே சுந்தரமான மொழி என்றான்… I hope i learn that…
- For people who feel all the above are too tough to keep up … one last wish… I stole this from Shoba’s blog… This is very relevant to me too… “At the end of each day reflect back on the day’s events and write down incidents to which I reacted instead of responding and also note down my my emotions associated with various interactions that happened during course of the day.”
Once again thanks to Shoba for giving a compulsion to write a blog. If not this post, I wouldn’t have posted for another couple of months.
For others, thanks for taking the patience to read my scribbling…
