Progress Report

2 0 0 7

It's almost half of year 2007 gone which reminded me of this entry I posted before the new year.

And guess what? I have not started anything substantial to add to my personal resume this year. Yes there was self-talk about picking up another language [Khadijah needs a sparring partner for French but then Yusof is not doing that great with his Arabic at school and Khadijah has been out of touch with Arabic for almost six months now] but this thought has not materialised. So I have decided (isn't this very autocratic?? Some time you need to be ! LOL) that all of us at home (minus Umar) learn Arabic to add to each of our personal resume this year!

I spoke to the Ustaz who teaches my kids read the Quran, a month an a half ago, to teach us Arabic and he had agreed but I have yet to give him the commencement date.

OK it's time to put the rubber to the road and walk the talk....!!! Will update on this!

Gobsmacked by Sanders today!

This posting by Sanders really hit me right in the face....What have I added to my personal resume this year? 2006 is just about to come to its close in about 17 days' time...Well for one, I started blogging which I have been wanting to do for the past two years..does that count? I should think so... Oh yes.....I also started eating healthily this year....So there, I have two things to add to mypersonal resume..Yeayy!

Apart from that, no i haven't added anything new to my life. Well, still have half a month to find something to do.....PROVIDED I can make the time for it. Isnt it a bit cliched to say...you dont have time for things ? Fact of the matter is, it's about time management, aint it? It's a matter of making time for it....I dont want to suffer from "excusitis" (learnt about this new disease in a book called "The Magic of Thinking Big" by Schwartz which I read four years back).

So people.....before you start regretting in the following years to come....., it's really not too late for anything! Just get to doing the things what you have been thinking of doing or always been wanting to do....Get to the "ED" mode and not "ING"!!!
