Top Things to Learn This New Year

Whenever a new year starts, most people get frantic about making resolutions. There's nothing wrong with this. However, I personally believe that learning something new at the turn of each year is more worthwhile than making resolutions. Here's a list of the things I have learned in the past 'new years'. Check them out and note which among them is suited to your capacity and interest.

Learn a new skill - Do you envy your friends who could bike or drive? Make it your goal this year to learn both. Start with biking. They say it is easier to learn driving once you get used to biking. If you lack the budget for a biking class or lesson, ask one your driver friends to teach you during their free time.

Learn a new language - Speaking a language other than your native tongue is very fulfilling. Moreover, it can bring career advancements to you. Learn new language online. You can also read self-study books that are published for beginners. Once you have learned the language of your dreams, pay a visit to its country of origin.

Learn a new instrument - Playing an instrument can help you unwind especially when you're stressed out with responsibilities at home and at work. Also, it can help you look cool in front of your family and friends. You can hire a tutor for this or just watch tutorial videos uploaded in YouTube.

Learn a new hobby - Yes, hobbies can be learned too. Think of at least three hobbies which you find interesting. For example, you can learn photography during the first quarter of the year; graphic design for the next quarter; and then filming. Who knows, you can turn these new hobbies into new sources of extra income too.

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
