Review

It's the time of the year again.

Reviews are everywhere.

Magazines are listing their top 20 cover pages of the year. Music stations are going to broadcast their top 100 songs for the year. Newspaper are revealing their top 20 'sensational' stories or reports. Movie critics are showing their top 10 movies of the year.

People are looking back at the year 2004 to see what they have achieved... what they have failed.... what they have learnt..... what have to be done.

Do you have to habit of looking back?

It has it's pros and cons. Cons... if one looks back and only saw his failures. Keep regreting about his actions and felt chained by his failures. What about his 'little achievements'? Well, most probably he felt that they are not worth mentioning at all. Anyway for these type of people their defination of failure is a bit distorted.

Pros.... as in one looks back to see his achievements and failures together. Learn..... from the past experiences, build on them to achieve a better next year.

So... how to achieve the pros and not the cons?

It all lies in individual's attitude. Attitude to change for the better, attitude to accept criticisms, attitude to face the challenges.

Do you like to review your own life?

I feel it's important. Although I don't always meet my expectations, so what? Reviews are there to stay in my life.
