Self Comments on my goals

I tik i should delete some stuff" off my goal list. It's sorta pretty understood to be a default must-get for certain ppl.

so a bit redundant.

Also the list isn't based on any order of priority, for example, realistically speaking be even remotely proficient at Sax now seems highly unlikely and sorta way low in my priority list.

At end of the day, present job priorities like course best and doing OT is first; then major priorities like being great at salsa(cos it's my personal "happy feet" story),improving my html, css, javascript etc skills, getting a reputation in sg discus club and joining Toast Master in the long term; are definitely a must.

So!

In a nutshell, areas of priority

• Job
• ~* Salsa *~
• Web Programming
• NLP stuff
• Public Speaking
• Chinese
• Sax
• Physique

Draft of Master Plan - The social side

On the social aspect of my life, which I tik i'm sorely lacking at the moment, here's how I see it go in my mental picture.

Basically, my circle of friends and esp. "female" ones, would come, of course, not only from my existing church group, but also from planned inclusions in the short term to singapore discus club and more involvement in the salsa scene. Online socialising would be in the web development scene.

Mid term wise would be to get to know ppl in the NLP/Mind Map industry to learn and model after their abilities. Joining the Toast Masters Club to purposely coerce myself into improving my fear of public speaking and stage fright. Hopefully by this time, I'd have joined the Open Source Web Development scene on the internet.

Long term wise, i hope to have a social foothold in the following areas

• Salsa
• Open Source Web Development
• Discus Fish
• NLP/ Mind Matters

This would help my intellectual, adversity, emotional and social quotients allowing me to develop my fullest potential.

Hopefully also I'd be able to be known for such "uncanny unorthodox" methodologies and work ethics in my unit and be a reliable worker to my employer thru such holistic mental training.
