My plans for 2009
Time flies and we’re already in the middle of January 2009. Things have been going so far so good for me…though a little busy particularly at work. Well, that doesn’t stop me from coming up with a lot of plans for 2009 since I’ve promised myself to make 2009 a much better year than 2008 (which I didn’t accomplish much).
Here are some of my plans for 2009:
- Have an emergency fund (I don’t have one yet
). - Improves my financial net worth by 5% to 10% (the higher the better of course).
- Spend more time with my family members and be a good son and brother.
- Stay healthy and fit by going to the gym more regularly (which I’ve failed due to the project urgency =_=).
- Start developing some useful IT products and share them with other people.
- Contribute more to charity such as blood donation.
- Earn more from online. Currently not earning much =_=.
- Improve my creative skills – drawing, designing, creative writing, etc.
- Learn more about other investment types in Malaysia.
- Have an idea (or more) on the type of business I plan to start in a few years time.
- Read more and more non-fiction books!
As you can see, some of those plans are pretty challenging but I don’t see them as impossible. In 2008, I’ve set some ridiculously difficult goals and ended up not achieving any of them. This year, I’m more realistic and I do believe all the above can be achieved. Just need to be more hardworking.
Actually, I intend to write my predictions for 2009 but….I ended up writing too much!! So I’m going to put it into another separate post.

@ Damien
Freeware to be exact. I prefer to either charge people or not to charge at all.
By sharing, means it’s free.

It depends on how you define it then, a person’s success in life is all about 10. But yes family and health are also the tops.

@ Harmony
It depends on individuals. Some people do not like to be their own boss, so we can’t judge a person’s success in life with item number 10.
