When things start to get difficult, the only way to get around it by being optimistic and win the situation.

The theory is simple and it is like the Chinese Kongfu technique, Taiji. It doesn't just mean pushing things to others. The technique teaches us how to handle the stumbling block by getting around it and eventually win it.

Face it, there isn't a 100% in this world. If we can win 80% and lose 20%, treat it that we won. If we can increase the winnings with another 10-20%, treat it as a blessing. Nobody wants to lose. Of course, sometimes the result can be subjective. Which way do you prefer to see it?

It's the beginning of the new year. Before looking at what is to be done for 2009, what have I achieved in 2008?

Let's recap my 2008 resolutions:

1. Get my driving license.

I've almost completed my driving lessons (BUT I have not gotten the license!)

2. Get my PMP.

I've completed my PMP course (BUT I have not taken the exam!)

3. Win lottery.

OKAY... I NEED TO DO MORE PRAYERS

4. Buy a house/apartment nearer workplace.

Consider DONE. Oh well, it's not nearer but maybe more accessible??

5. At least 3 vegetarian days each week excluding travelling days.

I didn't know that I have such a funny exclusion clause on travelling days. DID not achieve but I did it once a month occasionally. :P

6. Do more charity.

Yes!!! I am proud to say that I did. I donated items to Salvation Army 3 times this year. I shall make it a culture. And at my employer's charity events, I had to donate some money under peer pressure. :S

7. Fill up 1/4 of piggybank in the office.

It wasn't 1/4, but 1/12. :P

8. Own a new UMPC.

I have discarded this "want" of my life and I am happy with my Thinkpad.

9. Learn to cook more new healthy dishes.

Yes!!! I did manage to learn more new dishes. Healthiness sometimes is subjective. :P

10. Have a fulfilling year 2008.

Yes!!! It was fulfilling with a number of memorable events. :)
 
Not so bad eh? I score 4 out of 10. hahaha.
