Resolutions : 2016

By the end of 2015, I personally established a list of resolutions focusing on the goal achievement and quality of life.

2016: New Year Resolutions

01.                 Pass CIMA – Operational level

02.                 Pass 3 subjects of IBSL – IABF

(1) Commercial Banking

(2) Banking law

(3) Banking accounting

03.                 Pass exams in UCD – NSBM degree

04.                 Photography

05.                 A job at an audit firm

06.                 Only famous films and the selected TV series will be downloaded.

07.                 Read books

08.                 Spiritual and religious activities

09.                 1 Blog post per month

10.                 No drinking and smoking

11.                 Participation in marathons

12.                 No relationships only friends.

I couldn't get through CIMA: Operational level. It was due to the variable nature of staying at Colombo and Gampaha throughout the year. And also my mind and body went haywire with lack of exercises. So basically the most weighted resolution was not achieved. It was weighted like that due to its impact on career and my academics.

But somehow managed to survive the IABF - IBSL banking 3 subjects and also my degree making up to 20%.

Though the job at the audit firm was tough and was extremely ridiculed, the survival was commendable in my opinion.

Managed to maintain my hobbies in an acceptable manner.

Religious and good habits were also established during the year.

Overall the objective of having resolutions for a year is to have a good life. And it was kind of okay year for me. Hoping to go forward in 2017 as well.
