Lessons from the past Part One.

Hello to all!

Got everything ready for your New Year? Your drinks, eats, RESOLUTIONS? Yes, that nasty word. Of course, most of us won't be able to keep them ( with me, I think I just make them to be up with fashion!), but it's fun to do so.

One of my big dreams is to actually write and  publish a book( one at least!) on Kindle. This year, actually. I have already booked a person to tweak and twitch it when it's finished, and, like most others, having actually PAID the money, I am now stuck with making good my word. It's always been a bad habit of mine - to put myself in a situation where I have to come up with something fairly good.

I did that often in University, but I was very lucky or God was sitting near me - everything came off right. But, when I did push myself to keeping my word, I found I could have done it with far less stress if I had just kept pottering along and not left it all to the last minute and added a bad hangover as the same time. In my time since those heady days, I have learned, mostly the hard way, to keep at whatever I am doing, and not quit quite so quickly.

This is probably a trait that I learned from my father. He would try one way, but not over and over. If that way did not work after two attempts, he simply went to another way, and kept doing this until he got whatever done properly. He would walk away and get done whatever else needed doing in a hurry and come back, again and again. He drove my mother mad by doing so, and even more when he would finally walk in with a smug look on his face.

So, I plan on using this approach this year coming with some other projects. Like the title says: Part One. I'll let you know how it goes somewhere later!

Anyone care to join me?
