I am still reading Succcess Through a Positive Mental Attitude, but I've decided to stop posting after each chapter. Instead, I'll be rating books I read and writing a short review including 3 main points that I take away. Below is my rating system.
Must-read regardless of the kind of reading you typically like
I'll definitely read it again
Must-read if you like the genre/ category of book
I'll probably read it again
I recommend it if you like the genre/ category, but not a must-read
I may read it again
I don't recommend it but go for it if you really want to
Over two months on, and I'm finally back. Here's the run-down.
1) Natsuko's green card has been delayed. More docs to submit. Frustrating! I was doing okay when I thought she'd be in NYC by year end, but with this delay, everything got a lot harder.
2) I'm stoked to have re-joined my old company! In November, I joined a new team in my previous company, which has been awesome (and the reason I've been too busy to blog). It's great to be back :)
3) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Had a nice Christmas with family.
4) Kona (over 2 months ago) was awesome! Sebastian Kienle took the title for the men and Mirinda Carfrae ran down a 14:30 deficit off the bike to take the women's race. A surprise on the men's side was Ben Hoffman of the US taking second, which is the best finish by an American in some time. Less of a surprise, Daniela Ryf, who I shouted out before the race, came home 2nd woman after leading much of the race. Watch out for her in years to come.
Below is a cool video of highlights from the week and race.
5) Finally, I didn't hit any of the goals I set earlier this year (READ HERE). Not good. But, this lack of success already drove me to sign up for a few races in 2015. Full goals to come.
