I'm going back to school! A decision made long ago, without any action taken until recently in the first quarter of this year. The reason some might ask, for money, for knowledge or for recognition? A mixture of all i guess. Money for a better future, knowledge for life long learning and a degree to prove to others as well as myself that anything is achievable when i put my mind into it. I believe pure determination and desire to win can ensure success for an extremely tough and grueling journey ahead. So why am i back to blogging again after so many months, or years. Shear boredom that is~ Why not exercise my brain cells a little rather than let it stay stagnant. Writing put thoughts into words, and this has been one major obstacle i face most of the time. Occasionally at work i find difficulty in organizing my thoughts and presenting it in a clear and concise format. Often finding myself facing a messed up email with jumbled ideas all around, it would always take ages for me to finally come out with an email that flows smoothly. I hope through blogging this would improve and would significantly help a lot for my future studies.
New hobbies are also picked up recently, reading and jogging. Reading can really be considered accidental, friends who know me would know i'm not much of a reader. But this book i chanced upon really brought reading to a whole new level for me, that is "You already know how to be great" by Alan Fine. A great book i would recommend for those who seek for self improvement. Jogging has also always been an on off hobby for me, but the Nike plus app has really kept this hobby with me for about 6 weeks now. My workout now consist of jogging home from work 2 times per week, and 2 other runs around my area.
I have also come to realize that driving is an essential skill required and have started having manual driving lessons sometime in the second quarter of the year, i'm currently taking private lessons, which is way cheaper than what BBDC is offering. An added advantage is that i'm holding a military class 3 license which really helped me breezed through the first few lessons of driving, skipping the need to pick up driving from scratch.
This half of the year really brought some positive changes to my life, overall i'm feeling more refreshed and i have now developed an desire to learn. So its time to list some of the goals i have to keep check by the end of the year.
Short term goals
1) To maintain a minimum of 3 workouts a week for a healthy lifestyle.
2) To obtain a driving license before year 2011
Long term goals
1) To obtain a Bsc in Business before i am 30 years olf, with a GPA of 4.0 or above.
