Update: 2004 Goals Review

Just reviewing my ten goals in 2004. I’m pretty happy with them. I eventually accomplished some of the ones I set out to do.

1. read the bible in a year (#1 is ongoing/failed)
2. start grad school (update: started in 2004 and completed in 2005; restarted in 2006)
3. get in shape (aka buff) (#3 failed miserably)
4. find a job (check: 2004 (FDIC), 2005 (FCPS), and 2006 (USPTO)
5. share the love of Christ with people (ongoing/failed)
6. get more involved with christian fellowship (#6 somewhat, joined a church end of 2004)
7. be more proactive in relationships particularly with friends and family (haven’t been very proactive with anyone)
8. do some traveling (china??) (update: made it back to china in 2005)
9. make some big purchases (property??) (update: bought a house in 2008 with major renovations in 2009)
10. last but certainly not least… make new friends (esp. ones of the female gender) (update: met a girl in 2004, engaged in 2005, married in 2005… so i’m gonna hold off in making any more female friends)

I’ll give myself a 5/10 even though some of the more abstract goals were hard to evaluate and the goals weren’t accomplished within the time frame. I do like how ambitious I was… haha… I’ll try to update with my new top ten list sometime in the near future.

So, what are some of your goals?
