The significance of February the 29th

February 29, 2008 | By Juliana Heng In About life | Comments(0)

Today is a ’leap day’, 29th Feb of the leap year 2008. It makes it great time line ’measurement’ on the ‘developments’ in our lives. Honestly I have very vague memories of how I was faring on 29th Feb 2004, exactly 4 years ago. I think I was quite happy back then; working in a typical job, in a typical workplace with nice and friendly people. The economy was picking up then. Now everyone roughly knows where the economy is heading to.

To some people, 4 years may be long and to others, it is short. I find 4 years rather long and quite a lot can be accomplished within this time frame. As such, I definitely want to run a major review of my life progress on 29th Feb 2012, exactly 4 years later. If I follow my current plans and take consistent disciplined actions on the strategies that I had learnt in the past year, I should be leading a very different life compared to now and definitely to 4 years ago. Hence besides my monthly and yearly progress updates, I shall set every subsequent 29th February to be a major milestone ‘measurement’ of my life progress!
