I had known Robin Sharma's site before through my friend, Ayen (thanks, friend.) But only now that I was inspired to be frequented there.

As he said in one of his blog entry: "Part of the value I hope to add to you is to be a catalyst for positive change in your work and personal life. To gently push/move and challenge you. To get better. To grow more. To be great - regardless of your title or your background or your current reality." And he offered the 13 challenges, as follows:

1. Champion a child - target: Chloe, my niece, as long as she's here in our place
2. Encourage a co-worker - target: ZJ, one of the junior in my team
3. Read a a great book - target: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (accdg. to Jon, my colleage, this is amazing.)
4. Do something that frightens you - target: I'll think this over
5. Write a thank you note - target: persons who greatly influenced my life
6. Do something kind for a stranger - target: do this at every opportunity I have
7. Wow a customer - target: of course, our main client. Our counterpart, in particular.
8. Learn something new - target: new IT technologies, cooking new dishes, new hobby
9. Let go of a resentment - target: do i have this? I'll seriously think this over.
10. Do better work - target: my job, household chores, financial management
11. Be more passionate - target: to whom? I don't have a partner yet. Hehe.
12. Speak truthfully - target: always trying to do this. Ok, I will try harder.
13. Stand for excellence - target: this is my motto from now on.

I included my goals for the above challenges and determined to do it in a span of one (1) year. Just wait and see with my progress for each challenges. I also challenge you, friend, to do the same. Set your own goals for each challenges and let me know your progress through your blog entries in the future. And, altogether, let us assess ourselves before the year ends. Yes! I challenge you: Recel, Kero, MommyJen, Juliana, Mari, Tess, Emzkie, Garf, In-In, and YOU (if you want)!
