Happy New Year

Finally 2009 arrives. In the last few days, I spent quite sometime to figure out my progress in 08 and what should I plan to achieve in 09.

Let's review 08 first.

• Financially I am doing OK for 08. Although I could do better. The whole market is down about 40% and I am the same.
  
• I did not make much progress about my addiction. That is the single most influential thing in my life which I would like to fix.
  
• Career-wise I made some progress but still need a lot of energy and attention
• Part-time job or venture does not work well for 08. And it is time to re-consider these for 09.
• Family life is not good, but it is not bad either.
  
• Face some health related issues, and that is something I should work on for 09.

Ok, it is time to look forward to 09.

• Stick to the investment plan and make sure all the investment goals are met.
• Tame the addiction and reduce the frequency at least.
• Stick with the career path and rise to the top of your potential.
  
• Keep an eye on the family life and stay calm, stay focus and stay cool. Do not expect much from it though
• Take a fresh look at part-time job and ventures. It is time to find your passion and your potential.
• It is time to stay healthy and fix whatever issues I have.
• Keep on reading books and expand your knowledge.
  

2009 is a new start for me. I am reading Dan Miller's book, "No More Mondays" and I feel I am inspired by it. I believe things will be getting better and better for me.
