On the road

Resolution 14. Shaving is prohibited while being on the outdoor trips e.g. ski, hiking trips and etc.

Not that it has any meaning or significance...

New 2

Resolution 12. Readings and learning of Hagakure should be carried out on daily basis.

Resolution 13. Learn the thing that you have always wanted to learn, and don't be lazy about it!

Problem located!

Q. Why I don't write as often as I want to?
A. Because I don't read my own blog as much as I read others' blogs.

While I have failed to keep up with resolution 8 on the frequency of blogging, this Q&A calls for yet 2 more resolutions:

Resolution 10: Older posts have to be reviewed at least once a week.
Resolution 11: Posts should not stay in draft status more than a month.

I have to do a massive follow up on the resolutions and do some shake-up since I am way behind...not good, not good at all...consistency is the key goddamit!

RE--SPECT!

Resolution 9. It is of utmost importance that one respects the place and the role of the others involved, precisely in the same manner that one requires to be respected. This rule is valid for any game, the most significant one being the game of life.

"So in the end

I want to see some respect

(I said)

You better show some respect

(I said)

Attitude and respect..."

Frequency of blogging

Resolution 8. A post should be submitted at least every once in 3 days!

Rubik

This thing has been on my mind for a while, mostly due to the fact that

1. I, for some unknown reason, feel it is long overdue
2. The complexity that lies behind utter simplicity is fascinating, hence:

Resolution 7. Learn to solve Rubik's cube by the end of the year.

Any tip on this subject matter is highly appreciated.

Important note to myself

Resolution 6. 2009-10-19

Time management

Resolution 5. The time spent 'wasting' (you know EXACTLY what I mean!) at the computer/internet X (minimum)2 = The time spent reading.

The time allocated for wasting will be monitored carefully.

Freedom of what not

Resolution 4. Human beings are born free and shall live freely. They are free to READ, SAY and THINK exactly the way they please. No one has the right to force them to do so otherwise.

Same context exists in the articles of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

On social interaction

Resolution 2. Don't ever discuss politics with people you don't know or the people you are certain that you're at odds with, specially over a beer.

Resolution 3. If there are people that you don't like, don't ever forget the reason why.

Note to myself

Resolution 1. When feeling homesick, avoid seriously listening to "Yadegare Doost - Memories of friend".
