Lessons from 2010

  • Doing something makes me more happy than thinking something. Especially, when the thing I am thinking about has been thought of a 100 times before :)
  • Don't try to read other people's mind. Don't expect them to read mine. Tell them.
  • I cannot be friends with everyone. Live life as per my convictions. Friends come and stay on their own. ( I met some great new ones this year :) )
  • Get some more structure into my life. Well, that may not be a lot given where I am starting from. It's a good idea to not have to always think about what to do next.
  • Try to be clear in my thinking. Weighing the pros and cons of everything must be done within reason. Oftentimes, it is not what I choose that matters but that I choose something and give it all I've got. (Lest I am always stuck in "limbo" :) )
  • Simplify. I realized I don't need 10 things to work on, 10 hobbies, 10 friends or 10 kinds of food to eat. I need just 2 good ones. Find them and hopefully keep them.
  • I cannot understand everything (Yet :)). Somethings, I have to let go of.
  • Finally... I think most people addicted to facebook.com would be happier by being addicted to fmylife.com (This is more of a suggestion)

How much longer

How much longer, before the lesson is learnt,

twice bitten, twice stung, twice burnt,

not naive anymore, the ruse only goes so far

how'd you play with fire and not expect a scar?
