Happy New Year 2010

Count down to New Year 2010? I rather sleep and read the newspaper the following day! Getting up to check to see if I'm in the correct year.

It's funny, there are a lot people who enjoy counting down. As for me, I rather not join the crowd. I would rather count down on other days. Playing with the snooze button as I count down to getting ready to work on time. There is a timing for everything... Some people count down to salary day to survive, I do that too.

Some people think that New Year should be a time for a big bang and celebration time and not a boring time at home. I think differently, I think spending a peaceful time at home is a great way to spend the new year. Thinking of new ways to improve and charged throughout the year.

Setting a dateline to improve yourself, then count down to improvement day. It is better that way than to go out with a bang and fall flat the next day. I'm excited to get charged up and move forward.

Life Strategy Game

The first step to success is to start somewhere or click the start button. In order to reach level 100, we would always need to start with level 0. There is a strategy to every game, even the game of life needs strategy.

My brother taught me how to play chess. He used to win every game that we played when I was 10 years old. I would think that it was alright to lose because my brother was 10 years older. It didn't matter whether I won or lost but I would always try to win. I never gave up playing and he never got bored playing with me.

Over the years, I would keep changing strategies whenever we played until one day, I actually won! I didn't believe that I had won and thought he was just giving me a chance to win. After that winning was every now and then.

The strategy was to improve in every game and I did improve.

As I grew older, I was into computer games. I played all kinds of online games. In order to get good at a game, we must spent time with it. To get to a higher level, persistence is the key and the will to never quit and continue.

Lo and behold! Another new level...

My game strategy for life:
1) BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND (PLAN)
Focus and feel the achievement of what you want. See the goal or vision in your head.

2) TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION (ACTION)
Take any necessary action, just do something to get things started and moving

3) LEARN FROM MISTAKES & NEVER GIVE UP (LEARN)
Learn from all the action you have taken. Never ever give up trying or looking for new solutions.

4) CONSTANT AND NEVER-ENDING IMPROVEMENTS (IMPROVE)
Keep learning from your past actions, improving your steps and move forward to greater heights. Stick to the end results in mind and move towards your goal to achieve it.
