Lately, I've been reminiscing a lot, dwelling on past glories. Am I getting old? At 21, I should be learning from the past to achieve even greater success. 2011 is the year to change my lifestyle, step out of the past, understand myself correctly, reinvent myself, and pursue my dreams.
2010 was like a rollercoaster ride, a meteoric rise from the beginning of the year, peaking in July before plummeting. I spent 2010 in a state of turmoil. And that false prosperity brought me the bitter fruits of my labor at the end of the year. Although I made great strides forward in 2010, the instability of my foundation became increasingly apparent. As 2011 approaches, it's a good time for me to reflect on myself, examine past mistakes, and correct my mindset.

Impatience was my most prominent characteristic in 2010, a problem I've only recently discovered. Although I often had advantages over my peers, this led to overconfidence and an inability to settle down and absorb new knowledge. A cup filled with boiling water cannot absorb new water. In 2011, I should broaden my horizons, compare myself to those who excel, identify my shortcomings, strive to correct them, focus on learning, and work hard to improve myself.
Laziness became increasingly apparent in me in 2010. I was so lethargic that I was practically unrecognizable, staying up late and sleeping in, and procrastinating. Lacking good habits, I missed many opportunities due to my laziness. In 2011, I have many things to do and many challenges to face. To accomplish my tasks, I must first overcome my own shortcomings.
A lack of perseverance is a problem I've recently discovered, although it's been around for a long time. A relevant example of this is Pingjing. I recently realized Pingjing's value in 2010, but now I've missed the best opportunity for development. If I hadn't given up then, if I had persevered with Pingjing, perhaps things would be very different now.
Summarizing experiences is something I often do, but learning from past mistakes and avoiding repeating them is something I haven't been able to do. Talking more than doing is a stumbling block to my progress. In 2011, I need to change my approach to development, abandon the bad habits I developed in university, and genuinely and steadily improve my abilities.
In 2011, there are many things I want to accomplish and must accomplish. This year may become a year that changes my life. I missed the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, missed the opportunity for development in Pingjing, and missed the opportunity to improve my self-worth. Will I repeat the same mistakes this year?
