Lose some weight, maybe exercise a little.
Mind feels all hazy, it's been too long since I've done any actual work. Still, it would be nice if I could get back into actual society rather than just sitting in my room all day playing computer games (which I don't even like that much, but there is not much else to do).
On a related note, I'm going to have to arrange getting myself tested for AD(H)D. Not really a new years resolution, but something I have to do nonetheless. Maybe if that works out, the meds they'll give me will help me with the other stuff.

I want to learn japanese as well, and java instead of C. Let's hope that this year I can actually learn something. I enjoy this time of the year because it's the only period of my life where I can actually fool myself into believing I can fulfill the promises I make. Let's hope for the best.
No.8043
>>8040>>8026 here, only if you already know C I recommend you to go for Java
even when I personally think Java is absolute shit.
If you don't, it would be better to start off with C, since a lot of languages are based or have some of its features (Java, C++, C#, Ruby, Python, etc). C also needs a lot of attention, which will help you to code in the future and make less errors, even with other languages.
Unless you're planning to develop something which is "impossible" or hard in C, of course.
You can take this advice if you are going to learn how to code just for fun (say, you still don't have a serious project or some work you can get paid of, or something).
No.8045
>>8043Thank you for the advice, kind anon.
I've done some research before choosing Java and I seriously considered C for a time. The reason I just jumped straight to Java is because it allows you to focus on what you're writing, since it manages so much stuff for you. C is for those guys who really want to learn how stuff works at low levels, managing memory and pretty much everything else. Although I find that fascinating, I really want to focus on writing software that can be anywhere. Plus, I hear the whole pointers thing on C is a pain in the ass. Is that true? How advanced are you on your C studies?
Why do you dislike Java?
I just began with the Herbert Schildt Java for Beginners and so far I'm doing well, just got around the whole class and objects thing.
Sorry for the offtop, gents.
No.8047
>Plus, I hear the whole pointers thing on C is a pain in the ass. Is that true?Yes, when you're starting. I'm slowly learning how to manage them and it's becoming smoother, though, but still, you have to know what you're doing.
Anyway I'm not an expert and there may be some facts I'm not aware of.If you're interested, this guide helped me a lot:

>How advanced are you on your C studies?Two months of studies. Not much, really, although I've been taking a peek at many languages since a year or something.

No.8068
It seems to me that it's easier to make and keep a resolution when it's exact and specific. When a resolution is broad and abstract, it becomes an insurmountable task in your mind since you don't know where to start or how to approach it, and consequently you break the resolution. If it's clear and concise, however, then it appears feasible in your mind, and it's not as difficult to adhere to it.
Similarly, it helps if your resolution is only a minor change or adjustment from your current lifestyle or behavior. Change is frightening, but drastic change is petrifying; thus, take your improvements a step at a time, even if the steps are tiny. You'll get further setting small goals and making small steps than you will setting big goals but going nowhere.
Either way, here are my resolutions:
1) Write a minimum of 300 words creatively per day.
2) Manage my free time more efficiently so I don't waste as much time.
3) Control my irritability and impatience, especially when interacting with other people.
4) Be more gentle.
5) Forgive both myself and my ex-girlfriends over everything that happened in my relationships.

>>8055>>8059When trying to give people motivational advice its always more important how you make them feel rather than what you actually say. If you tell someone that ther're a useless piece of shit it won't matter what advice you give because you've already demotivated them beyond the point of giving a shit about what you just said. "Telling it how it is" is only effective when you are a friend or authority figure, as a stranger on the internet you have to give people a sense of hope before anyone is willing to listen to you.
Try rewriting what you wrote and see what kind of difrence it makes.
Unless of course you were only venting and had no intention of helping anyone but yourself.

No.10779
>>8068Let's see here…
(1) I certainly haven't kept to the writing resolution. I don't have any real excuse; perhaps I could fulfill it for the remainder of the year?
(2) I've succeeded here. I've been spending my time more constructively, at least, between reading and programming and writing occasionally.
(3) Another success here. I'm not nearly as ornery as I used to be most of the time.
(4) I'm actively working on this one at present. Honestly, I enjoy being the kind and supportive me far more than the nasty and selfish me. At the same time, I need to ensure that I don't allow others to take advantage of me or to manipulate me.
(5) I was wildly successful beyond what I expected for this one. I eliminated my emotional baggage once and for all.
Nearly everything went better than expected. I'm surprised that I managed to accomplish most of these despite having forgotten that I explicitly made them as New Year's resolutions.
I've made more resolutions in the meantime, but I won't bore you with them. No.10784
I suppose I've kept my resolution in not making a resolution, although from my post in this thread seems I made some sort of secret resolution to myself, but I don't remember what it was ._. I think I have an idea what might it but it's not important now, this is why I don't make resolutions. Other than that I'm doing and feeling a million times better than I did at the beginning of the year, I got a lot accomplished for myself. I can even talk to someone about self-improvement or hear someone talk about how their life has improved for them without literally feeling sick to my stomach, I feel so much better now. I think a healthy practice is to take all the things you've accomplished in a year and pretend those were resolutions and that you fulfill them.
