The Year Behind and The Year Ahead

The Year Behind

The year 2007 was quite eventful and interesting for me both professionally and personally. In a nutshell things that happened in 2007:

Professional

• had to own up an entirely new responsibility while letting go of those for which I had worked so very hard
• my worst dream comes true (my manager leaves)
• worked very hard to deliver goods in my new position (thanks to the terrific support from my wonderful colleagues Akhil and Prasanthi
• was the first in my team to actually sell something (all credit to the terrific inputs and able guidance of my new manager)
• went to Mumbai on my first business trip (a rewarding experience)
• got two fabulous people in my team to work with (enjoying every moment of it)

Personal

• it had been an year that my father passed away ( I miss you dad)
• started exercising regularly
• learnt the hard way that I should not tax my body too much
• started meditation (the best thing that I have done in 2007)

The Year Ahead

Now the plans for the year ahead. I love to be organised and keep things organised. Being organised will be a priority because it will certainly help me take on additional responsibilities this year. Here are a few tips from Organise Yourself Online that I found interesting:

1. Know what you want to do – Everything starts with your goals.
2. Work with a friend – You will be amazed at how much more you can accomplish.
3. Track your progress – Make your successes count.
4. Stay curious – The more you want to know, the more you will learn.
5. Seize the day – Each year gets underway only once!
6. Give something back – Sharing with others motivates you to accomplish more.
7. Take small steps – It will not happen all at once.
8. Keep at it – Finish what you start.
9. Inspire yourself – Plant seeds today that will blossom for you in the future.
10. Put it all together – Start working now.

Wishing You A Happy And Prosperous New Year
