New years resolutions!

Hmm..some say they're simply the leftover things from previous years that we've wanted to do, but could not accomplish. Since we did not have the willpower to accomplish them previously, what makes us believe that this year will be special?

Well, there are always 2 sides to things. A glass with only half it's capacity of water can be said to be either half full or half empty. The one you choose says a lot about your personality and frame of thought. Some people are more pessismistic than they are optimistic, and vice versa.

So, lets get back on track. How many people have the courage to dream and reach for the stars? My new year's resolutions are to
1. EXERCISE
2. STUDY HARD
3. HONE MY PEOPLE SKILLS

Well, honestly speaking, it does sound pretty challenging. Just getting started on the first task is HARD!!! gosh! The inertia, the difficulty in putting on a pair of running shoes and unlocking the door is astounding. I'm so ashamed of myself. Seeing how Monash doesnt isnt into info overloading (gd and bad) it means that I technically will not be going into as much details as my NUS comrads here. Therefore I have to know every bit of information they teach me at my fingertips. Not easy. Last of all, the people skills bit! Have you any idea how excruciating it is to be nice to an unreasonable person? Being nice all day sucks the living daylights out of you! I dont know how people do it but I'm hoping to somehow reach the state of enlightenment where I can draw on my eventual limitless supply of happy energy.

I ask myself at this point whether I've been trying to be the optimist or pessimist. I think its rather obvious which one predominated in the preceeding paragraph. Doesnt take a genius to know how daunting those tasks are to someone as lazy and unmotivated as I am now. Well, on the bright side (remember I said there was one), I've been exercising on and off ( at least i'm doing it!); I've been trying to mentally prep myself for the coming academic year (developing the right attitude is half the battle won); and last but not least, I have been working on my people skills as per my cardiology attachment and the results are looking good! (feedback through different sources). So, NEVER GIVE UP! EFFORT PAYS!!! =) hahah... So despite all my complaining and whining as you can see from the paragraph before this one, I am STILL TRYING. So pessismism and optimism can co-exist! Just that one side shows more at certain times. You are the one who decides which side it is you want to show. You are in control. You hold the compass to the ship of life. haha=p Hows that for inspiration? *winkz*
