This is long pending post but due to my busy schedule I never had the time post this. Before I went for Christmas vacation I attended a dinner party at Japanese restaurant. Once the dinner was over we exchanged gifts. I got a gift from one of my Japanese class mate. When I opened the gift there was in fact two gifts but not one. There were two colorful Japanese paper balls which can be blow like a balloon and can be rotated with a pen or a stick.
The other was the important one, he termed it as "your goal sheet" in which we need to write our or what we wanted to achieve or at least write a new year resolution. Then also told me in Japan they take this as a serious business such that they spend three days thinking about what they want and also they make sure than they shouldn't write something materialistic.He also suggested me I should take recess to natural area that is away from the city buzz then think there and write something useful.
I did as he suggested and finally wrote the above quote and struck it directly in the wall in front of the bed such that every morning when I get up it catches my eyes. I thought I should post this for New Year anyways today is Chinese New Year/Groundhog day, so I found an occasion to post it :)
