"Why write a New Year's Resolution?"
A few days ago I posted on Facebook that instead of having a new year's resolution for 2014, i'd have a set of goals to accomplish in 2014 instead. So below I listed 10 of my goals for 2014. I have much more than ten goals for the upcoming year though, but I only listed ten of them because (1) some of them are just really small and minor goals, (2) some of those goals can fit under any of the 10 I listed, and (3) some of those goals are really personal and I rather keep those to myself.
Finally, I'd include a piece of commentary after each goal. Just because.
Here are 10 of my goals for 2014, in no particular order.
[] Begin with my graduate studies.
-This is a MUST. Honestly, I want to start with this as early as possible. I already spent an additional two years in college. Not that I think those are wasted years, it's just that, I feel like I'm being left behind. If I want to have a good position by the time I am 30, then taking post-graduate studies must be done ASAP.
[] Climb up to the peek of Mt. Tarak (without incurring sprains or cramps)
-So I though I was fit eh? Nope. That mountain slapped me across the face and nearly took my life (for real). But I ain't backing down. I need to get my self in shape, or rather in better shape. I shall conquer you Tarak, and I shall do it standing up.
[] Maintain a weight that is not significantly above 170 lbs and not below 165 lbs.
-Part of the getting in better shape. Actually, if I'm around 175 lbs, i'm still on normal weight. But I guess a lot of those are fat. Time to burn those fat and turn it into muscle mass! Challenge Accepted!
[] Learn at least one new skill.
-Learning never stops. I want to learn one new thing this coming year, rather, I should learn one new thing. It could be learning to play a musical instrument, or something even more complex, or more simple. The thing is to learn something new.
[] Improve on at least one current skill.
-Acquiring new skills is not enough. One should also improve on those skills that one already has. We wouldn't want to be a Jack of All Trades, Master of None, right?
[] Restart my collections of caps and GunPlaMo (Gundam Plastic Models).
-Now that I have a job, it would be easier to continue these collections. But I can't go all out. Why? You'll find out in a bit.
[] Save enough to buy a new camera, and a PS4.
-I've long wanted to have a DSLR camera, so this is something that I want to buy for myself. As for the Playstation 4, I'm not sure If i'll buy it on my own or my brother would help me out with it, but we are really targeting to have a PS4 by around the middle of 2014.
[] Save at least P100,000.00 by the end of 2014.
-This one is for the future. As early as now, I want to start saving for my future family (I would have one, right? right guys? guys...?)
[] Learn more about investing in the stock market.
-Again, one for the future. And no, this doesn't count under the "Learn a new skill" goal. My dad has always asked me to learn more about the stock market, and that investing in it could be a better decision than just putting your money in the bank. So in relation to preparing for my future, and my family, I ought to learn about this. Hey, i've got nothing to lose.
[] Go to a place I have never been to before (outside of Region 3)
-I am generally a stay-at-home guy. There would only be a handful of people in the world that can get me to go to places with them. That being said, I like to explore more. So I'd like to go to somewhere far, and somewhere I've never been to before.
