OK so let's get started with the first goal which is education. Now when I say education I mean learn something. Learn ANYTHING. For the last couple of years I have really been in a learning phase. I have learned everything from how to make Maki rolls to how to make my own dress form out of duct tape. This year I have a goal to learn those things that I have been putting off for years like becoming fluent in Spanish and learning how to properly use my Nikon D3000. This year my goals list will be very specific. I use to have New Years Resolutions that I never fulfilled until I finally gave up on the complete thought of "revolutions". Now I have decided to have specific, attainable "goals". One of my specific goals in education is to take at least 5 adult education classes in 2011 and so far so good because I just took my first class this year a few nights ago at the Learning Annex. The Learning Annex is an adult education organization here in NY offering a wide range of workshops and classes. You can take classes anywhere from How To Make It In The Magazine Business to 7 Steps to Becoming A Successful Entrepreneur to A Beginner's Guide to Craps. For those of you who don't live in NY they also have some online classes. Another great source of learning for me is the internet. You can learn almost ANYTHING online. It's amazing. For the most part all you have to do is GOOGLE it. A resource that should never be over looked are books. I'm thinking about making a goal for myself not to buy another book until I have read all of the unread books that I already have because buying books has been an obsession for me. Great resources for inexpensive books are Amazon, Ebay, Salvation Army and Strand Books You can also borrow from the library. I don't know, there is just so much to learn about. An education is something that no one can ever take away from you is something that I heard my whole life and I have found that to be so true.
Are there any specific education goals that you have planned for 2011? Let me know, maybe it will spark an idea in me.
