About 2011.

2011 has been the most perilous year of my life so far. To say that it was a mere roller-caster ride would be an understatement. Ironically, the morals taken have been lesser than my experiences, which is to say I've grown little over the course of the previous 365 days but I'll still blog about the lessons I've learned so far.

Every year I make it the first point of my resolution to curb my temper and stubbornness and I fail miserably. Regardless, I do suffer from the ramifications of these traits. This year, however, I learned the art of using some of my ferocity to my advantage that is, I channeled both of them in supporting my stance in the projects I undertook. Especially to resist unnecessary control of people who wanted to bring their 'dominance' in the limelight. Now that didn't mean I took the practice to the brink of making arrogance ostensible. Though I still resolve to controlling my anger as it has in most of the cases, kept my face to the ground and I hope I master this weakness in the coming year.

I've also learned how hand-made cards can really warm people's hearts. I adopted this practice of card making for many people from a friend of mine who always used to make cards (No matter how simple) for the most random people on their big day. I've realized if nothing, your little act of good can really make a difference for one person, no matter how distant, as it gives them a moment to think over the 15 minutes of your pure devotion in their name while making their card. Plus, it doesn't kill to spread smiles, yes.

Also, I've discovered the true essence of inhumanity and the fact that no matter how close people are to you, they'll still shove aside your best motives if they conflict with their personal interests (Which are senile and they're well aware of it). It goes to show that star plus doesn't always transcend the boundaries of reality. I've concluded that if relations, no matter how close, emanate more of depression than bliss, it's better to leave them straight away. Of course, new forms come always take place and I include the very immediate of bonds as well. Really one has to toughen himself/herself with the same bitterness that is inflicted on him by his surroundings.

Apart from the aforementioned, I've learned now important it is to be self-sufficient and to let go of the future deliberately instilled in one's head if he/she wants to achieve happiness even if it calls for contradicting the views one has been openly expressing and mocking others for adopting. In my case, I find happiness following my dreams that conflict with my set career path and I feel very guilty to have had spoken someone else' language.

Lastly, I've learned that sometimes, a compound of your desired opportunities emanates from the least of expected places. You'd never think you's be able to hone through med school work and be not only accredited, but appreciated for that. So yes, life is full of little little surprise.

Noting the above, although 2011 has been adventurous its own context. I look forward to gaining far more and losing little in 2012. Happy New Year every one. Stay blessed. :)
