In order to limit consumption of sugar, a resolute discipline is required! What better way then to make a New Year Resolution and follow that religiously. Ha! Ha! Seriously, I need to smother my sweet tooth syndrome so I can keep my diabetic (Type 2) tendency in check.
Here is my resolution for 2007.
Avoid the dessert table and/or dessert dishes. Keep a safe distance from these and do not go on a sly to buy or partake these away from all those knowing eyes.
Pravin Shah
1.0 Set up a system.
Getting organized requires a physical setup as well as a new mental attitude.
Folders for :
· Deductible expenses
· Banking
· Investments
· Tax-related items
2.0 Bank online.
3.0 Track everything financial online.
4.0 Get out of debt.
5.0 Review your RRSP & RESP allocations.
6.0 Check your insurance coverage.
9.0 Check your estate plan.
· Look at setting up a revocable living trust
· Set up or check your will
9.0 Set new goals.
· Follow this rule: “Set no goal you can”™t control!”
· As you list your goals, include plans for achieving those goals.
9.0 Make a contact list.
· If you”™re trying to change your life, do some networking
· Be ready to introduce yourself to strangers
10.0 Pick one new project — and get started.
· Nothing is more motivating than a sense of accomplishment
· So pick one task — and start right now
And one last bit of advice:
Count your blessings, not your assets. And don’t stress out over resolutions — just do them!

| 2004 New Year Resolution: Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! The clock moved! The world turned! Alas! The New Year has arrived Man stirred in bed to confront the New Year
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! View thru windows does not give man comfort A disconcerting gloom beams in for rapport Man shriveled back in bed with his comforter
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Kids pitter-patter in the hall making notes Chorus of “we want this and that” is jotted Man moans of responsibility in changing world
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! TV screams of bombers with suicidal tendency B Bombers and Apache helicopters on the roll Man helpless caught in far away war and toll
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! World has gone insane & macabre 2004 needs to be traversed with sanity Man needs to be resolute to keep his capacity
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! The daily grind needs tackling with determination Change is Constant, which needs adaptation Man needs to resolve to be open, care and share
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! 2004 New Year Resolution simple and humane Adapt, seek and reach out, have faith in humanity Man determines to survive with full glow of life. Pravin Shah December 27, 2003 |
