reflection of twenty ten

once again, its time to look at my checklist and see if i have actually followed whatever resolution i have made. seriously, i cant recall a single resolution, not until i cut and paste the list for the 1 year old post. ok...time for reality check.

1. read at least 30min of books before going to bed - fail. Well, i did spend more time on books, but compared to college time, it is still really little. But i started reading books that i never thought i would be interested though.
2. exercise the 10min workout set i did exercise, but is less than 10min...erm....pass lar~

3. 1 day of random new skill (at the moment is  hip hop), 1 day of badminton or squash, 3 days of gym per week - well, i set this rules because i was expecting myself to be a freelancer for the whole year..but since there is a change of plan along the way. This resolution no longer applicable.

4. raise my yearly income to above RM60,000 once again -wow, i actually wrote a figure here??! erm....okey, this is awkward.....erm....ok la, satisfactory....haha...

5. go for a spontaneous trip with friend -well, i did it on the first day of year 2010, so a big yes...and i guess will be doing more in year 2011

6.schedule work and play time in the right ratio- erm...i spent more of the free time in study. so dont think i pass this resolution. but i did have fun though...erm....ok la, fail this 1...


7. complete my CFP, and keep the option of challenging CIFP - a big yes to CFP and CIFP no longer applicable to my choice, and heck, i even take up CFA, so a big pass!

8. make profit from the trading progam -biggest failure of all, sigh....

9. purchase a ~RM120,000 car in december -ok, this is such a bad choice of resolution. why would i think of getting a new car? not the time yet.....
10. donate money for charity -ok, this is really shameful....my friend didnt ask monye from me, and i forgot to pay for it.....fail! or maybe i should pay a lump sum to him before this year end....hm....not a bad i dea


11. spend time writing down journal /story at least 4 times a week -hahaha....this is like a resolution that i fail on a yearly basis.

12. forget the past, and move on in terms of relationship, take things slowly -erm....i did try to hit on a girl, but soon i realize its either i wasnt ready, or she's not exactly the right person. No seeing the light of attaching to anyone still....

13. the most important of all, find the reasons to achieve all this. with nothing to inspire on, all this will just plain talk - well i do believe i know myself better than ever, so this is a yes :)


ok, final score, 5/12 achieve = 41%

 i am quite content with the score actually, given the fact that i have actually changed my mind rather radically in the middle of year 2010. 
if a sentence is needed to summarize the year, i guess "slow, in order to be fast" is what i have learn in year 2010. Many things cannot be rushed, and for the past few years i have been too obsessed with young success story, making myself felt so frustrated for not achieving anything before age 25 like many famous guys do. As the year pass, i am beginning to see things in longer horizon, i am still learning, but is more capable of holding myself from making hasty decision. I am more able to accept that i could be just an average joe, and that thought no longer put me down or stop me from try to be different.....
year 2010, is the year that make me start walking, instead of lying on the bed dreaming of flying.
I'm still dreaming, but i know the more likely way is to start walking to the distant airport.
