People change. I don't mean the bad side of change. Just nobody can avoid changing through out his life. Why do we change? Because life is hard.
Life is hard because we are not ready to face it. Experience told me, every posible depression of me was all caused by my lack of preparation and effort. Things come up constantly, while I always chose to ignore it or postpone it. The reality proved that nothing is so hard that I cannot do. As long as I start to work on it, things will always turn out to be nice.
Sometimes I felt sorry for myself, because I was paid to work while much time was wasted because of my procratination. But I learned that I should never feel sorry for myself. I agree because people will always treat me as how I treat myself.
Look back 2012, I made many choices, some good some bad. The combination makes what I am right now. Though suffered from long distance relationship, I am confident on us. I am what I am right now. Maybe I can do better, maybe I can be less lazy about my work, but I do know that will also cost something. I don't know if I can hold a strong personality toward my research my work, but I will try my best in 2013. Whatever the result will be, I will not regret. That is choices. No good, no bad. Only different paths.
So what I want to change in 2013?
- make my mind crystal clear. less is better.
- figure out my research interest
- get the CISSP certificate, do the field research, be a export.
- learn to say no to myself.
- learn to say yes to those interesting things outside my house.
- plan better, plan longer: next summer, next fall, next winter.
- be good to my family.
