We are at the New Year’s Eve and another year passes away at a glance. As I look back I don’t feel I have done much in 2007, no hell I don’t feel I have done much since I was born.

Here’s the list of the goals:
– Do my duty to God and to mankind.
– Get more knowledge and experience in IT.
– Learn how to create better content.
– Get more involved in the IT world.
– Do better in my college studies.
– Do more in helping others in need.
– Better life balance.
