10 things 2010/2011

I had to browse through my blog today because someone asked me to list down my achievements for documentation and record purposes. While I scrolled through my 2010 blog posts, I came across this post called, "10 things". Here was what it read:

"10 things" 

I received an email from a fellow Toastmaster the other day. It read: 

My Dearest Toastmasters!  

Every year on 31/12, I'll list down 10 things I achieved in 2009, and 10 things I want to achieve in 2010. 

Every year I would be so amazed, didn't know I have achieved so many wonderful things in my life, if I just rush through a new year. God is indeed Great and Wonderful. 

Simply taking 10mins of your time reflecting and writing down what you have achieved on 2009 (be it big/ small, "spent a 3 full days together with my family" is an achievent for me) and 10mins to think and write down what you want to achieve in 2010 (Not what others want you to achieve, but what are important to YOU and you sincerely want to achieve, personal career.

It will have a magical effects on written Goals.
Do it, you'll amazed yourself with what you have achieved. And you will not regret when you review on 31/12/2010.
Goals written down has 60% higher chance to achieve! 

And there are only 3% of the people has written goals, 13% had goals, not written down, 84% no specific goals at all.
BE THE TOP 3%!
HAVE A HAPPY, HEALTHY & PURPOSEFUL YEAR AHEAD.

When I look back at my goals that I wanted to achieve in 2010, I thought, is that really what I had wished for? I got to achieve all of them. Considering there were only 6 of them. I think I should put more challenging and worthwhile goals.

Of course, goals and aims change along the way. They get modified or altered; and sometimes they don't become a priority anymore when something else takes place. That's human life. But insyaAllah, whatever I do now or then, is for the betterment of people:)

Note to oneself: Dr Hazian reminded us: Always prepare things for the future. Don't prepare things for what is needed now.
