Hello and welcome to 2011!
We make some promises at the beginning of every year and try to stay true to them. However, as these promises are made to ourselves while sipping a coffee or waiting at a traffic stop; casually in other words; we are at all the liberty to break those self made promises without any feeling of remorse because it is all within us.
So better let the whole world know what you are up to so that everyone can pull your ears and say, "Hey kid! what about your promises you made the other day?". Or even if they don't, awareness about the fact that you have expressed your intentions to rest of the world is motivation enough to have one carry on.
So here is the meat. I have decided to stick to two activities that I dearly hope to imbibe into my personality. Now when you stick to something on a routine, it becomes a habit, habit becomes a trait and lots of positive traits make a person better over time. Isn't that what our quest is all about? To get better and better each day?
Ironically, our minds also obey the laws of thermodynamics and tend to follow the more random path with ease. It takes some energy to bring order into this mind and reduce its entropy somewhat. That is why sticking to these seemingly small and most honestly made resolutions seems all the more difficult.
So activity number one is to read at least 20 pages of something technical each day. That is almost as quickly the technology changes in my field of interest so that will help keep pace with the times.
And second one is to stick to an active lifestyle regime, that includes breaking my relations with the quilts, blankets and recliners, bonding still better with gym and finishing pending tasks proactively so that they don't tend to clog my mental gateways.
A bonus resolution is that, for the good of planet and its beings, I will continue to stay a veggie and a teetotaler. :-)
Seemingly simple, but lets see how this kid performs this time. Good night :-)
