NEW YEAR, NEW ME! In every ending, there is always a new beginning. The year 2012 ends and a new year, 2013 starts. New Year, new life… I usually hear these words whenever New Year comes. So, I need to have a new life because it’s New Year, right? This 2013, I will try my best to change everything I need to change with myself. I have to eradicate those bad vibes and replace it with new ones. This past year, I admit that I was so negative; meaning, I didn’t look at the positive side of everything. I did not have confidence in myself. This year, I will become a positive thinker because I believe that ‘man often becomes what he believes himself to be. So, if I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end up by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity even if I may not have it at the beginning. “Fear is the greatest barrier to success.” I also admit that I became weak these past years. So now, I will become stronger to face all my fears. If I let my fears dominate me, then nothing will happen. So now, I will have the guts to surpass all the obstacles that come along my way to success. I will become more careful with the words I utter because a careless word may kindle a strife. I will extend my patience in doing my school works. I will accept defeats. These defeats are just stepping stones on the way to success. So, if I fail now, I will strive harder so that I will succeed tomorrow. Let go of the past, focus at present to have a brighter future. If I can accomplish all the things that I have mentioned above I am sure that I will already become a better person---a new person this year and the years to come.
