New Year's Resolution 2007

I'm happy that I had a fruitful 2006 in terms of personal growth, though my 2006 one wasn't quite successful. In this new year, I will (try to) do the following:

1. Learn free-style swimming. I'll go to the adult beginner swimming class this spring, and get myself prepared for surfing.
2. Learn to receive. A few friends complained about my never letting them help, and I had ignored their comments. This time I want to change.
3. Become an early bird and be more focused, so that I can get things done.
4. I want to go to Tibet in the fall.
5. I will always have a pillow book so I can also learn to know the world through others' eyes.

Extrinsic resolution:
MA wants me to change my habit of never taking no as an answer, at least when it's about her.
SY wants me to make a significant progress in my dissertation this year.
