i remember someone asked me once if i'm into making new year resolutions. i cant recall whats the answer that i gave but here's it:

i'm never into making resolutions on the first of every year (i only do it cos teachers from those junior and high school days force it on me) cos seriously, if you look through those past years of resolutions, when did they ever vary much? why didnt they vary?

ha, now i got your attention.

first you got to ask yourself why you never did live up to them.

i never liked framing myself to those resolutions because i believe in being adaptive to the things around me. circumstances change people, and theres no way you can resist circumstances. why restrict yourself to a list when you could seek self development in other areas?

yearly resolution is not my thing. but that doesnt mean that i dont set directions for myself. if i've to put it this way, i wake up every morning with a new set of resolutions and every night i reflect. because i know change is the only constant. sounds cheesy? not quite really. since we cant predict the things that will happen in a year, why dont we concentrate on reflecting upon yesterday, living today to the fullest so that you wont have to regret the coming tomorrow. perhaps this will make you a better sailor in life.

why restrict your direction in life to outdated resolutions.
success is for those people who can adapt to circumstances. for those who can recognise and grab hard to come by chances. learn and relearn. plan and replan.

i'm not trying to force my thinking on you, i'm just sharing my two cents worth.
