Resolutions : 2017

By the end of 2016 like the previous year (2015) I personally established a list of resolutions focusing on the goal achievement which will enhance my quality of life and new learnings.

2017 – New Year Resolutions

01. Pass CIMA – Operational level  -  30% -> Not achieved.


02. Pass 2 subjects of IBSL – IABF   -  10% - > Achieved.

(1) Financial System Survey  - 5%

(2) Financial Clients Management - 5%

03. Pass exams in UCD – NSBM degree - 10% - Achieved.


04. Photography  - 2.3% - Achieved.

05. Only famous films and the selected TV series will be downloaded and will be watched. - 20%

      - Achieved.


06. Read books and review - 2.3% - Achieved.


07. Spiritual and religious activities - 2.3% - Achieved.


08. 1 Blog post per month in every blog - 2.3% - Not Achieved.


09. No drinking and smoking - 2.3% -  Achieved.


10. Participation in marathons - 2.3% - Achieved.

14. Travel to Sri Padha alone. (Hat – trick) - 2.3% - Not achieved.


15. Finish E-soft graphic design class. - 2.3% - Not Achieved.


16. Capital market investments. - 2.3% - Achieved.


17. Initiate using a Music instrument / Painting - 2.3% - Achieved.



During the previous year (2016) I was able to set 17 resolutions for the current year (2017).

Like the previous year, I couldn't get through CIMA: Operational level. It was due to my personal decision of changing my academic mind into focus and precision giving a high weight into my "degree program" and "IBSL - IABF, 2 subjects." 

Thereby I was able to gain 20% success rate. But due to the incapability of not passing CIMA impacted me with losing 30% of success rate. 

Though the job at the audit firm was tough and was extremely ridiculed by my senior staff, the survival by conducting the work even at an average pace and acceptable accuracy was commendable in my opinion.


Managed to maintain my hobbies in an acceptable manner like the previous year (2016).


Religious and good habits were also established during the year (2017).


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 2018 as well.

Considering the given weights for the resolutions and achievements during the year 2017, 57.25% was gained.

Why "physical fitness" matters ?

"Physical fitness" according to Study.com, is your ability to carry out tasks without undue fatigue.

components of physical fitness are as follows, 

(01) Cardiorespiratory endurance

(02) Muscle strength

(03) Muscle endurance

(04) Flexibility and body composition 

I am a fan of physical fitness because of its main advantage given in the above definition.

Therefore to maintain physical fitness I always have a daily run in the treadmill.

This daily physical exercise is discussed in many places of my blog posts.

I use "Runkeeper" mobile application during the exercises to access myself to many reports in the progress of my running exercises.

I have been using the treadmill now for 3 years and the stats gained from Runkeeper are as follows,

+ October 15' to December 15' - 148 Km

+ January 16' to December 16' - 301.4 Km

+ January 17' to December 17' - 131.3 Km

+ January 18' to March 18' - 54.4 Km

Now I have to make this assumption in this blogs post that every reader of this believes me that what I'm going to say next is true because you're gonna have to.

Since 2016 I have maintained new year resolutions and also blogged my achievements, on how they were attained.
