• Reflection of 2011

  If there was anything I learned in 2011, it was to be adamant in what I feel and not to be afraid to do something about it. I learned to let go of people who were deadweight in my life, when normally I would’ve kept them close. I let go of a boyfriend who I thought I loved who was in actuality selfish and a so-called best friend who was too self-absorbed to care for me as I did for him. Prior, I would’ve been too afraid to lose them. I learned to go for what I want, even though I don’t feel confident enough to succeed. I competed in the JP Morgan IB Risk case competition, with no knowledge of what risk management really was. Knowing I had to present in front of MDs was really nerve wracking but I went for it anyway, and I learned quite a bit. I got better with being afraid of looking stupid. I ask questions more often now, learning a lot, improving myself. I mean that’s what living is about.

  Next year’s milestone: become more tolerant of people.

  

  Have a happy new year, everyone!
