One of the “New Years” posts I liked

via CrunchBase

I have always been against new years resolutions and all of the ideas that surround them.  I believe that you should do what you do when you think it is right to do, setting “New Years” resolutions in my opinion is just a waste of time.  Goals are important but starting them on a specific date in the future does not make any sense to me.

So with that I read Tim Ferriss’ post “Things I have learned and loved in 2008”.  It is by far the best post I have seen to summarize the closing of 08’ and going into 09’.

There are some things in Tim’s post that I have to work on.  The most important one for me personally he describes as “You don’t have to recoup losses the same way you lose them.” This year I got hit financially by something totally outside of my control (it was in a business venture, not the markets).  The truth is that the way for me to recoup that loss has nothing to do with the way I lost it.  Money is money, and putting my energy 100% into looking forward and not back is how you make more of it.

Thanks for the great post Tim.
