Happy New Year 2008... Any Good Resolutions?
08 Jan 2008 12:44 AM / Filed in: Misc
Well, it's this time again! I'd like to wish you an excellent year 2008 full of every good thing your heart may desire.
And it's about time I come up with new resolutions for this year. But first let us take a quick look at my last year's resolutions.
Well, if you've read my HNY entry from last year, you knew that I made three resolutions:
As for the first resolution, there is no "scientific" method I can measure with if it's a success or a failure. But from what I see, I consider it done. Don't get me wrong. It doesn't mean I gave a certain "quantity" of love to my loved ones and I'll just stop there. No way! I am always looking forward to give as much love and care to them as I can. And I will make sure I stick with it. Basically, this is now kind of an implicit resolution on the very very long-term until my body hits its grave.
What about the second one? Glad you asked (*cough*), this is one of the areas where I obtained awesome results. I went down from about 89 Kg to barely 74. There is almost no diet involved, besides avoiding eating between meals. The real reason is sports! I have a damaged meniscus that required surgery and this gave me enough of a kick to start on the right path. I regularly practice Power Walking, Nordic Walking and Swimming. I will give you more details about this on a later post.
As for the third one, I didn't make any progress. It's a total failure. This makes me rather sad but now ... it's my top priority for 2008!
I know you can no longer wait ;-) ... So here are Saad's Resolutions 2008:
As always, three resolutions are more than enough to keep me busy a full year, besides my other duties.

Well, if you've read my HNY entry from last year, you knew that I made three resolutions:
- Give more love to the people I cherish and care for.
- Practice sport seriously and lose (many) extra kilos I've been carrying for too long.
- Get a driver license.

I know you can no longer wait ;-) ... So here are Saad's Resolutions 2008:
- Get a driver license. (déjà vu ?)
- Re-engineer my "career". The idea behind this is very simple but requires heavy thinking to correctly implement. I need to isolate my top skill weaknesses and make them strengths. The goal here is to seek a better overall equilibrium in my skills as an infosec consultant.
- Learn Spanish. I currently speak three langages.
As always, three resolutions are more than enough to keep me busy a full year, besides my other duties.
