thinking about making new year resolutions



shall i even try to think about new year resolutions? surely it is going to be a waste of time. everyone has gone down the isle of new year, all fired up about their resolutions only to forget all about it a few weeks later. But not making resolutions is like giving up on 'me'.
Seriously, it is time to consider what do i really want from my life as a teacher and where i am heading. If we want to get somewhere, but don't know where or don't know what we want or what we do best, we are going to end up nowhere. And I don't want to look back and regret...
Norman Vincent Pearle, in his anthology, Courage and Confidence says
You must fix on a goal, then sharpen and clarify it. Hold it in your conscious mind until it sinks by a process of intellectual and spiritual osmosis into your subconscious. Then, you will have it because it will have you, all of you. You will begin to move toward that goal on a direct road; not a vague 'somewhere', but to a definitive, specific objective. To this must be added enthusiasm, persistence, and hard work.
