I finally learned how to tie a tie. I remember I had previously tried before but I was missing some part of the process and couldn’t tie it properly. Now, I decided, I would do it untill I finally succeed… I decided I would learn to tie one before the New Year. Took me just an hour!..  haha… and now I can do it using this Double Windsor knot or a single Windsor knot… It all came down easily when I stopped learning the first one and finally figured out how to do the latter first. By all means, these guys that make those videos have it all figured out and they just tie their ties quickly not thinking about how it might be hard to pick up for the people watching. Here is a good lesson - always think about your audience and break it so that they (and not you) can understand it.

I also was in the theatre today. I don’t visit theatres. Now I did and it was fun. Makes you wonder about all those things in life you never do that could be so great to do. I’m living on the idea that I will do them later. But when is later? For most people, there is no later. I guess you have to put later forward in life…

I am glad because I got around to do some of the things I was putting off in the last few days. Here is another lesson - taking action makes you happy. For the moment, at least. Finally, taking action enliberates. There is no excuse to not taking action and yet I have wasted so much time. Whatever, as says Anthony Robbins, $past != $future (except this is put in a programmer kinda way… I am NOT a programmer, bah).

Resolutions, yeah. Now I am going to pull out my journal and write my New Year resolution. Someone said that New Year resolutions are just vane commerical stuff but now I am thinking of them as of a rather good chance to put your goals into places. The difference between most resolutions and mine, though, is that I am planning to follow through (well, that, and the goals differ too, I guess).  I am going to have a good hour to think of everything and write it down.

I am not gonna wish happy New Year. Everybody does that. Enough cheesy stuff. And also, wishes are empty. Actions count.
