So I have to read this book for work… I’m supposed to write a recommendation on it at the end.Maybe. If it’s worth it.

Anyway, it’s kind of a self-help book, the kind I never read. For the weak, I say.

Anyway, it’s called Two Weeks to a Breakthrough: How to Zoom Towards Your Goal in 14 Days or Less.

Rather serendipitously, I have a goal.

You see, I have HAVE HAVE to do my GMAT before the end of May. I don’t DON’t DON’T want to do it AT ALL.

But I have HAVE HAVE to…

It’s not fear that’s gripping me; it’s inertia.

I am lazy, out of practice and due for a swift kick in the ass.

So…

I’m deciding to try a thing. I will actually follow this book’s mumbo jumbo and see where I am with this GMAT tra-la-la in two weeks.

Today is the first day… one of my daily challenges is to share my goal with as many people as possible.

Mission accomplished. Yay for blogs :)

Another is to actually do some preparation for the GMAT. It’s Easter Sunday so we’ll see how that goes. Also The Sopranos AND Entourage have season premieres tonight. Talk about a daily challenge.

But now that I have reaffirmed by goal by sharing it with the many, I am filled with renewed vigor.

:)

Self-help is ALL about psyching yourself into something.

Oh and one more thing… I’m supposed to make a request of someone in a position to help me with my goal. If anyone has any GMAT, MBA or grad school advice, give it up, bitches!

Oh and have a Happy Bunny Day.

    GMAT - study hard, esp the maths
    MBA - definitely needed in the current climate, its the new BA
    Grad School - the hardest thing is the singular purpose of getting in , and then they encourage (force) you to work in teams… conterproductive.

    good luck.

    thanks for the tip… i used to be damn good at math back in form 5 ad-math days but time is a helluva thing… after doing a couple practice sessions, I’m realizing i’m a little lower on the curve than i though so it’s beat books once again…
