I don’t have many resolutions this year, just four. Four simple goals I’d like to follow in the calendar year of 2008. I succeeded with each and every one of last years set goals, I hope I will be just as successful with these four things this year.

Work Hard, Play Harder

Most of 2007 was spent working hard, toward the latter end I found myself wasting a lot more time than I would like to admit. This years goal is to push myself to work as hard as possible,while really enjoying myself after the fact. I know I can work and play hard, I just need to separate the two and focus on the task in hand.

Learn And Master Photography

I’ve learnt a lot this past year from my main hobby, photography. I hit last years New Years Resolution to take 15,000 images over the course of 2007, and this year, plan to not only continue taking images, but to read books, listen to fellow photographers, and further my knowledge of the art.

Make Decisions And Never Look Back

It was just a few evenings ago while I was watchig Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift where I picked up on this quote. Life is all about making decisions, to then make the most of them, we need to keep our heads up and never look back. Look at the positives, and reap ther best we can from all situations. I will do my best this year to make positive choices, and never look back at them - just keep moving forward.

Be Less Materialistic

Notice in this years list I don’t have anything listed under a heading “Buy ??” This year I plan to be far less materialistic than I have in the past. No large impulse purchases, minimal amounts of cash spent on technology, and just watching my wallet in general. Sure, if a really nice MacBook Pro update comes along, I’m not ruling out the chance of upgrading, there will just be a longer and more thorough thought process involved.
