Oni Training 2024
Xin chào, hello, こんにちは, 你好 it’s me again, happy new year to all who celebrates, wish you happiness and prosperity in the year ahead. I hope the luck be with you and your relatives. I wish you not the easy life but the power to make your life easy. May the God of The Dragon 🐲 gives you strength to overcome all the hardships that might cross your path.
Last Year’s Achievement
Before go to the goals for this year, I would like to mention some nice thing happened last year. I have done some good job and I would like to praise myself for it.
Reading
I have read 12 books this year. Taking out boring technical books, there are 9 about psychology, dating, self-help, business. Thinking in Bets, Atomic Habits, How to Not Die Alone is some that worth mentioning. I have broaden my knowledge and I like me that way.
Programming
Last year I picked up rust 🦀 and like it very much. I can confidently say I am now a Rustacean. That was a successful attempt or at least a nice adventure I would say. On a side note, kotlin is also on my list but I haven’t done anything significant with it. Last but not least, my C++ skill got certificated by CPP Institute
Internet Presence
My personal toy web page is up to date with modern looks and cool stuffs, pretty proud of it. I also have managed to maintain a blog, mostly low-effort leetcode solutions but it’s an active blog nonetheless. I have also did some creative coding and got something interesting out of it.
Nhi 💖
The relationship with Nhi is, without a doubt the best thing happened last year. After not a few moments of awkard silent, countless silly conversations and a clumsy confession, I did it. We are officially together, since 15
10K steps
I have been maintaining 10K steps nearly everyday since earlier this year. I even installed Strava and kept running for a month. Not so impressive but still an achievement.
New Year’s Resolution 🎉
Methodology
Continue the tradition I have established last year. I will use the Infinity Stones 💎 as an abstraction of multiple aspects in life. I will build my resolution based on this concept. There are many target I haven’t reached last year, so this year I would like to be humble and finish what I started, plus some new challenges.
