New Year Resolution

i'm not much of a new year resolution person. i myself have troubles working towards the short-term goals i've set for myself, let alone accomplishing new year resolutions.

so no. i don't do new year resolutions.

even though i have done a couple of them a gazillion years ago. and yes, all of them didn't work out. another reason reinforcing my not making new year resolutions.

to me, new year resolutions hold little meaning. i'd rather make myself a list of goals from time to time rather than a few general resolutions to uphold for a year.

reason being i can be more focused on my goals and i can revise them according to circumstances. then little steps by little steps, i'll reach my destination.

what's even truer is that i don't have foresight for the long term. i live too much in the here and now that it impairs my ability to look to the far future.

and that's why i miss out on so many golden opportunities when they come along. coz i don't have the foresight to plan.

i once had this saying written in bold on the front of my english tuition file:
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail"

now, it has come back to bite me.

amazing how when you're younger, you have so much insight and forethought you'd think that as you grow older, you'd come to gain more wisdom.

apparently not.
