    Re: New Year's Resolution

    At the beginning of the year, after some thought, I emailed my closest friends a declaration on some of my new year's resolutions. I won't go into the detail I did then, but let's see how I did...

    1) I want to get more active, and thus fitter.

    Took up Ceroc, and it's done a lot for my level of fitness.

    2) I want to see more films.

    That was working really well until I took up Ceroc, now I have less time for the cinema, but I still get to more films that I did in the past.

    3) I want to take more proper holidays.

    Well I've been away from home a lot this year, but haven't managed to take a proper holiday at all.

    There were other things I didn't feel I needed to declare to anybody, which I think I've done not too bad with in parts...

    Over-all though, I'd say they were a success. Need to work on that holiday thing though... Maybe that will go into my 2006 resolutions, but I haven't given them much thought yet.

    It's hard to please everybody all of the time. I had real problem with this a few years ago, watching an Oprah Winfrey show at the time helped me out. It’s not easy so good luck Lynn.

    Re: New Year's Resolution

    Hmm resolutions...

    Well here's a thought


    Most people seem to confuse a good life with a long life. When I die, I want my epitaph to read "John Dunning died today. It was worth it!"

    I had the opportunity yesterday to compare my life now with life five years ago.
    - Five years ago, it was business opportunities galore, work, money and a real adrenalin rush from mixing and working with some big names in industry.
    - Now, I have the reputation of "knowing more about Amsterdam than the Dutch people", am surrounded by some amazing friends from all nationalities and walks of life, seem to get myself into all kinds of scrapes and adventures; managed to text a friend at 5.30am with a message "You'll never believe the adventure I've just had" and got a reply of "I think I would" and have been physically exhausted for the last 12 months. On top of that I followed the advice of "do something every day that scares you" and have managed to terrify myself a couple of times. Finally, business is looking good as well and this time it is with people who live life to the full. Now, I always wonder if today will be my last day and if it is I always know it will be worth it!

    So my resolution is this

    When I die, I want my epitaph to read "John Dunning died today. It was worth it!"
