Looking Back... (2008)

2008 is a mix of good and Bad. The bad part was common for every one not just for me. i.e. Market Crash.

Last Year with Livermore Temple Trip.
Jan & Feb just past by. Mid Feb went to India. The trip was pleasant. Visited many places in the order, Hyderabad, Rajahmundry, Aynavilli,Nadipudi, Tanuku, VM Banzara, Kotta Gudem, Bhadrachalam,Hyderabad, Bangaluru, Chennai, Tadepalledudem, Tanuku, Nidadavolu, Kanuru, Marteru, Kovvuru, Bezavada Hyderabad.
Came back in Mid march. April interviewed with Juniper and then joined there in June.

Visited sister's place in July. Visited Duluth there and had good fun.
Visited Reno and Tahoe with Aditya, Phani and Ravi in September.
In October finished the Chicago Marathon Successfully.

Mom visiting me for a month thanks giving time. Brother also came here same time. We three went to LA, Las Vegas and Grand Canyon and Had good fun.

Chirstmas time busy with Work.

What I learnt/Gained 2008:
1. Dont worry about issues as it stops thought process for solutions. Developed this skill little bit.
2. Be with the good people who cares/thinks for you, than who just maintains relationships just for the heck of it, as these people don't worth my time.
3. Calculate time every day basis. 2008 was a good year as less time spent in junk chit chatting or too many social gatherings. Spent more time for carrer and office.

The suggesstions or experiences I heard from people around me who are successful:

Be optimistic in every moment.

Put your sincere efforts and forget the rest. Every thing comes to you.

Be ambitious and hard-working to be successful.
