Resolutions of 2022

 It's new year resolutions for the first time in 10 years. Here is previous one.


Before to set resolutions, I would like to look back 2021. Every year I have 2 major goals, losing my weight and reading a book/month. Yes, I missed them every year. That's why I have them every time. But the miracle ocurred in 2021. I lost 12Kg, lost 18kg but the weight is recovering. And I read 17 books. Working From Home made it!


I would like to upgrade my resolutions like below.

1. Touch 69.9Kg and Keep the weight under 72Kg. Must loose 15.4Kg from Jan. 4th 2022

2. Write a book review post per month.

3. Make strong body that I can work for 24 hours without the break.

4. Be an expert of "Automation".

5. Make a fun a week.

The New Year Resolutions

Yes, I know that New Year already started 5 days ago.
I already decided my resolutions last year.
But I want to make it public and detail.
I hope publishing to force me achieve my resolutions.

OK, here are my resolutions.


  1. Promotion to Manager.
  2. Study of Computer Science and Statics in College.
  3. Buying my home.


1. I will be a manager. That's it.

2. I want to study computer science, statics and business. Big Data Analyst(he/she understands business) will be in high demand in 5 years. And analysis is fun.

3. My Home is My Dream.
