Self Improvement

Learning a new language is a mator goal. I used to have that kind of goals a long time ago. Now it eems that my goals are smaller and they don´t have more than a 2 or 3 month´s span. I have forgotten to ask myself what will I be when I grow up. Stil, there´s always new to learn every day, no matter how small. I hope you learn greek and many other thing and that later on you find them useful.

Hi friend, good to know that you are interested in Greek, there is nothing wrong in learning a new language and you will learn it soon based on your interest. All the best

Of course, New year's resolutions are usually broken anyhow. It is best to set a goal for something you want when you want to do it.

That is a good goal you have set for yourself. And I agree with you that we should not just resort to having our resolutions being started on January the 1st and we should try to work on those goals when they arise. I think that is another thing I would like to do. I'd like to learn more spanish, I know that it would open up other job opportunities for me and be able to assist customers where I currently work at. Because I run into a lot of people who don't know English and only Spanish. Being able to communicate with them would be awesome. I also work with a lady who only knows Spanish and it would be nice to be able to speak with her too. I live in a place were majority people speak Spanish. I also I would like to brush up on sign language. I know quite a bit of sign language, but maybe just not enough. So that is another goal that I have for myself.

Hi 41CombedaleRoad, I wish you all the best to achieve your new year resolution. I'm sure you will get sure shot success with your Greek language. Your message also motivates me to learn new technology.

Good luck! :) I also tryed learning Greek in the last 1-2 years, but without discipline I made little progress. Still, I am proud with what I learned and I will do some courses soon to improve it. Now I use livemocha.com, it's an easier and more entartaining way to study. It's a beautiful language in my opinion (and also country and culture).

I wish to improve my English skills and be a good writer. I am still working on it and wish to become a serious writer and write a book- one day.

I don't make new year's resolutions myself. I find that if I have to wait for the new year in order to attempt in making something happen, then I wont succeed at all.. Good luck in learning Greek! How do you plan to learn it?

Ohhh self improvement is good idea. But some time teaching to others are also necessary. Learn something own and teach to others both combination is good. I will make something different resolution when new year will came.

I think it will be easy to learn, so many Greeks around. If you need any help just ask me. Good luck!

wow you are amazing. I have never thought of that and I love your concept. I am gonna make some serious resolutions now and not wait for the new year to arrive for it. you have kinda changed my life at this point. thanks. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

That's great combedale, me too love to learn Niponggo maybe will have to do self learning through net and some books here. It's bit hard to follow new years resolution, you are right start having resolution now so that when January came part of resolution was already done. :)

You raise a very commendable point. Research has shown that few,if any, people manage to attain, and maintain, New Year resolutions. It is much like the happiness and joy we are expected to display at New Year and Christmas. I'm sorry, but these times of year can be very miserable and lonely for many people and this contrived, seasonal feel-good factor is highly offensive and impractical. So it goes with resolutions: why should we organise our lives, lemming-like around a traditional 'go-for-it date' in the calendar. Surely it's better to organize such challenges when WE feel naturally inspired and better able to face THEM. We should start trying to move Mohammed to the mountain rather than the,impossible, obverse!

This is a great goal to teach your self Greek. That seems like a hard language to learn. Why Greek? Who do you teach english to? Good Luck

Well great to hear about your tryst to learn Greek. Yeah of course new year resolutions can be made flexible. Not all people on earth stick to their new year resolutions. This will help us achieve our goals in a more better way. I wish to learn German and French in the coming days. What say?
