Recently I’ve been uneasy about the way I behave. I considered myself a person who loves to learn new things and has deep interest in gaining new skills. While I was still studying in AUBG, this was true and I spent the time to make sure I lived up to these principles. For some reason, I’m not confident this is happening any more, at least not to the extent I want to. So having though about it, here are some resolutions and goals that I set for myself until the end of 2009:
- I should spend time to fully understand and comprehend everything I start to work with. No trial-and-error approaches or just shots in the dark.
- I should start writing. Be it blog posts, notebook entries or anything else, I should always pay attention to writing down any thoughts and elaborating on what I’ve written, including research to better develop and understand it.
- I should invest a lot in learning Javascript and related client technologies. This may be in the form of at least two books and one side project.
- I will dig out and finish at least one project I’ve started or ever thought about starting.
- I will finish at least two books I’ve started and read at least 8 new.
- I will try to understand other people’s point of view, and not condemn or criticize before thinking. I will read at least one book on psychology.
- I should limit the drinking of coke, eating hamburgers and other foods in this category to at most once per week.
Right now these are enough, as it will be hard enough for me to get a good grade on any of them, but if I come up with something really interesting and worth noting as a goal, I will edit this post. Let’s see how I do on December 31, 2009.
