Life: 2013 Happy New Year

New Year 2013 has begun. Today I got back to the lab. Tonight we will go to a milonga. I guess I live loyal to my two identities, scientist and dancer.

During the winter break I made my New Year's Resolutions. Or rather, I made action plans for four categories of life: Finance, Professional, Health, and Others.

In "The Millionaire Fastlane", the book author MJ DeMarco wrote about three important Fs in life: Family (Friends), Fitness (Health) and Freedom (which money can buy). I totally agree with his view, and my Resolutions, although categorized in a different manner, incorporate his view.

In my opinion the book was one of the best reads about finance and life planning in the last year. I was astounded by the clarity of his view and his brutal honesty. I will recommend the book to anyone.

Life is said to be something you make happen. Life is also said to be something you ought to enjoy every day. I think both are true. I want to make something happen in 2013, and I want to enjoy the process as well.
