With only a few hours to go to 2011 there will be a lot of New Years resolutions and decisions be made. Whether they will be kept is totally irrelevant as it makes the person making it feel great about what he or she is planning (or just thinking about).
The challenge of any plan,resolution, decision, call it what you will is it is of no consequence if you do not activate it. This will only be effective if you put it in writing, put timelines on it and give it a champion. Someone who looks over your shoulder and to whom you make yourself accountable to monitor your success.
Here are a few challenges I would like to put to the readers of this little piece:
Take the challenge in 2011 to:
1. Be original. Be the author of what you send out via email. Do not send someone else's BS on. Write your own and send it on. (Try not to write BS) Become the one other people will quote. It is not that difficult.
2. Start your own blog. It only takes 15 minutes to set up and it is great fun. (http://www.blogger.com/ and it is totally free!.
3. Get going on facebook. It is really rewarding if you know how, and totally safe if you know how.
( if you do not know how , ask me )
4. Learn a new skill - it can be a hobby or it can make you money !
5. Do something for the first time !. Go Bungee jumping, Go skydiving, Learn to fly a microlight, Challenge
a friend or family member to do it with you ( Challenge me if you dare)
6. Decide to stop growing old - Growing old is in the mind - the body does it's own thing anyway!
7. Arrange a massive party for all your friends. It is easy : Just call it a Picnic - do not do it at your home.
Sorry to hear about the one who forgot a chair or a knife or the butter. It is a picnic for crying out loud!
Come one people - come up with some new ideas ! Are you 63 years YOUNG or 36 years OLD ? I know a lot of the latter and very few of the young ones.
