By the end of 2020 like the previous year (2019) I personally established a list of resolutions focusing on goal achievement which will enhance my quality of life and new learnings.

During the previous year (2020) I was able to set 9 resolutions for the current year (2021).
2021 was one of the challenging years for me and to the whole world due to the Corona / Covid-19 pandemic.
Like the previous year, I couldn't get through ICASL: Executive level. It was due to my personal decision of changing my academic focus into professional life objective attainment. the objective was Trying to organize and re-structure the auditing and accounting books (ICASL, CIMA, ACCA books) - 25%.
Thereby I missed an opportunity to achieve one of my resolutions for 2021.
My job placement at Sampath Bank PLC as a trainee and then to be confirmed was successful leading to fulfilling one of my resolutions.

I didn't exercise very often during the year but was able to at least follow up my exercises. Therefore I was able to marginally achieve the no. (04) resolution.
Though I was unable to practice public speaking I was able to read and achieve my 'Goodreads.com' reading challenge.
Through that, I was able to garner a 37.5% success rate in the leftover resolutions.
Therefore overall 37.5% success rate in achieving 2021 resolutions was maintained.
Overall the objective of having resolutions for a year is to have a good life.
And it was a good year (2021) for me.
Hoping to go forward (survive) in 2022 better than in 2021.
The main reason for the lack of objective attainment is the lack of focus on academic targets.
And also too much weight on professional life and non-academic goal attainment.
