New Year Resolution: 2013

Setting the new year resolution has been the main task I obliged to do few days before the end of each year. It wasn't an exception for this year, just that the time to deliver this publish is slightly late than usual.

Stepping into the year 2013, there are a lot of ambitious things to be done. I believe everyone has the same feel as well, yet the execution itself is a challenge one, and hence the action plans is a must to keep us in line with the goals.

Throughout the year 2012, I come across the importance of consciousness. Very often we have our days count when we were having trouble during our hard times, until we survived the days, day after days, and then ended up realizing that the months & years were actually passing rapidly than what we expected. For some of us, it might be late for us to discover the fact, about what we achieved throughout the year, and what we are going to do next. Still, it is not late to kick start, at least I won't be regret to be a late starter, rather than those people without the awareness.

Speaking about my resolution for year 2013, it is mainly an extended version from my 2012 resolution. To acquire more real estate (probably 2~3) for this year, invest in stocks for its dividend paid, etc...A little contradiction to previous year is my willingness to set me free from career progression is getting stronger, and the likeliness to change my job or stop climbing corporate ladder is getting higher, if the condition allows me to do so.

Apart from that, I have a great feel I might be involving in a business after middle of this year, though small, at least it won't beyond my reaching. Well then, the nature of business is yet to be determined, even it is very certainly to the retail ____  business. About something that can transcend myself, I think it will be most likely a pool of investment with friend in the stock market, and we have come to an initial understanding on how to get it started, as I always believe in 1 + 1 > 2.

A summary of things to be  done in 2013:

a. Resignation of full time job due to constraint in learning exposure

b. Invest in 2~3 cash flow real estate

c. Invest in stock market with a pool of fund with one of the friend

d. Keep my mind open for new knowledge and financial literacy

e. Start a small business

f. Change the electronics like pc, hp (once per 5 years)

g. Get a brand new car

谈。梦想版 (Dreamboard)

近来，不管是同事，朋友还是亲戚，当他们看见我msn的个人留言"追求梦想"，总会禁不起好奇心的驱使下加以询问。当然，多半上脸带那淡淡的微笑，保持着些许神秘感的作风，这也许是我给予最好的答复。

人各有志，所谓的梦想，也同样因人而异。对我而言，我既无需用之不尽的财富，也不需要延年益寿的身躯，但求活得精彩，没有遗憾已经是最大的期许，而当然最期望的莫过于看见身边的亲人朋友们过着开心富足的生活。

我的快乐非常简单，因为多半源自身边大家的快乐，而我的梦想虽然看似平凡，仔细细说下却丝毫不然。

我希望拥有一间舒适的房屋，不需要很豪华，但一定要够宽敝，能够容纳大约6~7人左右。除了一般的四房三浴室外，我梦想有一个自己的书房，可以充当自己的休闲室，不只可以看看书，上上网，也可以在不被打扰的情况下构思自己想要完成的事。

此外，不可或缺的是一个TV房，电视要够大，视野要宽阔舒适，而且可以隔音，在家看电影也可以是一大享受，有时发神经时也可以高歌呐喊。至于其他如泳池，草地，无敌海景则可有可无，最要紧是环境舒适。

由于个人天性好游玩，喜欢旅游，所以环游世界肯定少不了，呵呵。最想去的地方是瑞士和欧洲游，然后美国加拿大，再至澳大利亚，纽西兰，云南，日本等等，这都是一些著名的景点。当然，如果有机会，也希望可以以义工的身份，到穷困国家，去帮助及体验他们的生活，增广自己的见闻。

除了旅游，偶尔过上奢侈的生活，像是到迪拜住上一晚豪华的7星级酒店，到无敌海景的海底餐厅进餐，还是来上一瓶88年的陈年法国红酒，总之就是人生一大享受。

还有，还记得那寒冷的冬天，呼着冰冷冷的雾气，仍是滑雪初学者的我，不知摔了多少回，当然很想再次体验回那冰寒的经历，这怎么能少得了滑雪板呢？

总的概括，财务自由后，我的人生多半是吃喝玩乐，还有睡觉。

如果这样，人生就匆匆数十载，那可会是多大的遗憾。是时候回馈社会了，所谓取之于民，用之于民，这个道理浅白易懂。就好比之前一贯对于单亲孤儿们的义务，我希望这一份心意能够持续坚持。还有，就是有关成立一个助学基金，帮助那些穷困但奋力向上学习的未来栋梁。因为本身，除了是奖学金得主外，因为家庭背景的关系，有时候感概，就好比与他们实有同病相怜之情。

咋看一下，我的梦想版并不简单，有些遥远，却不失其挑战性，而且合乎实际逻辑，又不缺其意义。这，会使我五年内想到大的境界。相信，只要 work smart, 再大的绊脚石，我也可以把它挪移。

I will do whatever it takes to reach my goals & live beyond my wildest dream, provided it is ethical, moral, legal and not against my principles.
