2009 mantra

i got this forwarded email and this should be my mantra for this year of the tiger.

i quote:


If you want something, nothing can stop you.
Don’t leave your life up to fate or destiny or whatever.
It’s always your choice. Take charge.
Do what you can do now.
Do what makes you happy.
And to hell with the consequences, if you get bitten then you will know it wasn’t for you.
At least there won’t be any regrets or what if’s.
There is always a risk, but not taking that risk is an ever bigger risk.




my agenda for this year:

1. learn japanese - i got like 5 references already. including cd's, but so far i can only say arigato, sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, teppanyaki. it's not so obvious that i frequent japanese restos, haha! time to get serious about nihonggo!

2. become a good trainer for enrich - tomorrow i will be taking the training for trainer for the course confidence and communication. it's a surprise why they think i can take this task when i am really shy and lack self confidence. but it's an honour giving something back.

3. learn how to play the keyboard - i got my keyboard since nov 07, but i havent touched it until now.

4. learn how to play the bongo - im predicting that 2009 will be a year of music. why? why not?! :)

5. enroll in an open university - development communications or social work? hmmmm...

6. save up at least 40% of my salary every month. hopefully by 2014 i can save enough money for our 'clinic business'

that's all i can think of right now. im looking forward to the surprises, challenges and blessings for 2009! so come on 2009! bring 'em on!
