24

24, a magic number that gives equity to everyone.
No matter how smart you are, you only have 24 hours per day.
24, also make today special to me. I am delighted to be part of the 24er's group.

Looking back, I can summarize my 23 age by 2 words: roller coaster.
It was the best of the time, it was the worst of my life.
Sometimes I felt like being the most blessed in the world:
I found my meaning of life, and someone that I loved.
While all of a sudden, I was doomed.
I lost my motivation, meaning and focus of life.
Whatever I obtained in the past is being taken out bit-by-bit.
It feels like someone is cutting you up piece by piece mentally.

Despite, I am glad that I had a group of friends to support me :)
To hang out/drink beer with me, and give me advice when I feel lost.
Without you ( sorry that due to fd quota I cannot tag all of you :( ) , I cannot pass through this tough time. Thanks!

To start my 24 right, let me make a few things that I want to accomplish:
1. Discipline: Reduce deviation of daily targets to 20%. Achieve 80% of the monthly learning goal.
2. Refine my time management skills: Plan 2 weeks ahead for events, and 2 days ahead for schedule
3. Friends and family. Do not shut down myself easily because of work/study. Always care about my friends.
4. Exercise weekly!!! Jogging, gym, table-tennis or badminton (anyone interested?)
5. Improve writing: Organize my thought better with expanded vocab. Reinitialize daily vocab learning list. Write a piece of article monthly on facebook/ google blog.
6. Financial analysis: Analyze a company report monthly, and my portfolio returns needs to beat HSI!!
7. Learnt 12 new guitar songs.

There are lots of way to express 24 in different language.
But for me, 24 means 7 targets, with 365 days to complete it.
My promise to my 24th.

Sleep

Recently, thanks to a mysterious mosquito haunting my face and lots of minds keep flowing out, so it is hard for me to fall asleep.
So, I tried the following methods today, hope it works.

1. A boring video:

Accent Reduction: Tip 1 Always Speak Slowly


2. (Seriously) Try this lullaby, my recent favorite song:Isaac Shepard - Leaves in the wind
