I've been told that the best way to achieve your goals is to actually write them down. Well I've decided I now have several goals and thought why not write them here. I won't just write them once, but I will come back here at least once every two weeks to provide a status. Now the goals established can not be altered or removed. However I can add additional goals as I see fit.

Wall Street Journal
- Read in detail the "Marketplace" and "Money & Investing" sections everytime I receive the paper. This for the most part will therefore mean every Monday-Thursday when I'm traveling dfue to work. The reason behind this goal is that I want to learn more about what is going on in the economy (global and domestic), trends, investing ideas, etc. Then I can sound smug when I say I read the Journal.

Books
- Read a one book at least every 2 weeks. It is my hope to read one a week, but I understand that can be difficult due to work and life balance. I will then update the blog with a short review (out of 5 stars). The books can be fun fiction, historical significance, business related, etc.

"Prayer for the City." - 4 stars
I completed this nonficition piece last week. The book follows the newly elected mayor of Philidelphia, Ed Rennel in the early 90's. It provided me with knowledge around city politics that I only had a slight idea of. It's from the author Buzz Bissinger who I usually enjoy. I recommend picking up his other books.

"Running with Scissors" - 2.5 stars
It's entertaining and a quick read. It is the author's memoir. While true some of the stories seem a bit out there (he ends up living with his mom's therapist where chaos insues), take it for what it's worth. I know some would enjoy this book, while others would not. Approach it with caution.

GMAT
Study every week for it. Plan to take by the summer

College/MBA/Scholarships
Research more into what degree/focus and where I would like to attend.
