How I did it: I started out reading Beginning C#: An Intro To Object Oriented Programming, since I didn't know OOP as well. But then I found Safari Books Online, signed up to it, and started reading the best out of many great books -- Head First C# was also important in the beginning. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It took me a good while following a software course I bought, but mostly because I halted the studies for a good many months for no particular reason. I followed every rule and advice from the typing tutor, and so learned full touch-typing in a very fulfilling way. For me it's an essential daily skill. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started late last year to do a full-body workout 6 days a week, all at home and on my own. I had little information about anything and just started doing all exercises I could do with my body and dumbbells that I remembered from when I went to gym (not too often) earlier last year and some years before.

1. I’m grateful for good guitar practice all throughout the week, getting some nice riffs down in my current work in progress.
2. I’m grateful I can relieve myself off most pressures. I perform best when I’m free and easy.
3. I’m grateful we are celebrating my grandma’s birthday tonight. I love my grandma.
4. I’m grateful my dad’s out of town taking mission critical decisions about his new business and that he feels fine about the options he’s got even when they’re not the best case scenario.
5. I’m grateful for being mesmerized by all of Achtung Baby from my third listen (and third day with it.)
11:47 Preparing For A Great Next Week
22:05 Things I’m Grateful For This Week
1. I’m grateful for my reaction immediately upon falling on my back on thursday after the chin-up bar came loose, that I calmed myself and managed to stay put while thoughts of broken bones raced my head. I’m glad I could spot silver linings and think with gratitude as I regained movement on my limbs.
2. I’m grateful I’ll probably be able to resume working out tomorrow or no later than tuesday.
3. I’m grateful for getting all my chinese character progress so far into my palm’s supermemo software and for how much quality and efficiency that’ll add to the learning process.
4. I’m grateful for this weekend’s great jazz concerts from one musician branch of our family from Rio, and for a nice time spent with them in between.
5. I’m grateful I’ve been actually able to throw and catch three balls multiple times with just three days’ juggling practice! It’s crazy looking back at how I felt only yesterday, as sure as death I’d never be able to throw and catch even two balls consistently. Mechanical skills are a magical thing.
