I've been contemplating the need of posting my 2010 resolution. After much thought, I might as well do it this year so that I can track my progress 'electronically'. Looking back into 2009, it was a very fruitful year. Much have been done and achieved, be it in work or personal life. For 2010, the theme will be 'Change'.
Change for better or worse? Nobody know. But does it really matter since life is a journey? Anyway, how do we determine success and failure? What's the benchmark and criteria? Is success measured by the wealth we have or the health? Or the size of our house and the car that we drive. To be frank, I don't know. I have been living a life to live up to other expectation. And catching up with the progress and changes of the dynamic society. Is this necessary i asked. Do we do it to make us a better person or to make some else happy? Or it's for survival? Now, my priority is the financial security for my family. But for this year, I want something for myself. I want to spend 10% of my time in upgrading myself. Do more reading and research. Be it in personal development. Management skill or Buddhism study. Spiritually and mentally this is necessary. It's the food for my brain and spirit. I've starved myself for years.
Secondly, I want to spend more time with my family. Weekend is family time. I worked long hour during the week while my kids go to School and my wife attend to their needs. Everyone is busy in the week. No matter how tired I am in the weekend, I'll still spend time with them. It's their privilege, I reckon. However, I want to do more this year. I want to spend more time with my parent, especially my mother. I realized that they've aged a lot recently. My father is 75 while my mother is now 74. They needs more attention from me. This is my duty.
It's been 10 years since I worked. And I'm still with my first company. It's been a while. I have progress and grown a lot in the last 2 years with much exposure to staff development and management of the team. I have accomplished most if not all the business goals but I will not know how much is my capacity if I never venture into other opportunity. For this year, I will be actively seeking for new opportunity, especially in the green and reusable industry. I think semiconductor industry has do to much harm to the earth. Only us can save the earth or rather ourself from extinction. It's time to be environmentally friendly. Our mother earth is sick and weak. It's time the children of the earth do something for their mother.
Wishing happiness and good health to all. And peace for the earth. Let all live their life to the fullest. And most importantly, without any regret.
Cheers,
OKY
