1. Go with Goals: review Resolutions 2013
It is already “Knowember” and it is time to review your Resolutions of the year. I
wrote a blog on how to keep best New Year resolutions. I believe that you have
gone through and started aligning yourself.
I think most you have already achieved the goals but in case if you could not
make out one or two resolutions, you can always post-pone to next year based
on the complexity/uncertainty. If you think it is easy, try to achieve it in this
year. Exchanging the resolutions is a good idea*, since you don’t want to miss
the happiness (when you achieve).Propone one of your next year resolutions
2014, if you have something in mind.
*This happens only if it is not time bound.
However, you will have 101 excuses for not achieving your basic/important
resolutions, whether it is a personal or professional goal. By nature professional
goals have more excuses.
There is one significant reason for not reaching your year-end goal and that is
“Revealing your goal” .
yourself:
Keep your goals to yourself:
You must have heard that if you want to achieve something you need to open
your thoughts to other. But Derek Sivers research says that it is not. You can
yell once you reach your goal and some of you can surprise your friends,
colleagues and loved ones.
The most significant secret behind success in achieving every resolution is “by
keeping your goals to yourself”. Never share them with friends, family members
(somewhat accepted, if it is really mean it too) and colleagues. What happens
here is “once you share your resolutions gradually you will lose your interest as
everybody knows. The great exception for you is you reveal number of goals in

2. a span of time (six months/one year/5 years). This may help you in comparing
with others. The goals should not be more than ten and even if they are easy or
big. So you need to make them balance such that you can achieve it in time
bound.
Keep your goals short:
Mostly giving too much of information makes you ambiguous as understanding
which way in and out will make nervous.
Keep your goals short!
For example if your goal is to buy a bicycle and the goal should not be like
“MTB electronic bicycle with pedals from Firefox and shimano equipped and
100km ride in a day” it should be like “need to buy an MTB bicycle”, that’s it.
Obviously once you go to the store they make you to buy all those (pedals,
gears and others) which you have mentioned.
I do always keep resolutions to myself. As usual I have set 10 goals and I always
postpone at least 2 goals to next year.

4. IV) Avoid using Lift (at office, SWJ, Ameerpet):
If I am not wrong I have used the lift at SWJ only once in this year 2013. And I
am happy to say that I sit in level 5 which a median, and is not too high and too
low as well. This is an awesome experience which you can experiment at your
office, home and even at shopping (try to avoid at shopping malls if you feel
awkward). It makes you more energetic with a high level of enthusiasm.
