Ask HN: What are you looking to achieve in 2014?

[codegeek]

All the smart people on HN, just wondering what your goals/ambitions/ideas for the new year ? It does not have to be related to startups or tech necessarily. Anything is worth hearing. Some of mine:

    - Get better at swimming

    - Paint my kid's room

    - Get something started on my startup idea

    - Get in shape and Build muscles. (currently 15 lbs overweight). Already working on this btw.

    - Buy a Raspberry Pi and play around

    - Contribute to a major open source library (fork it at least and submit a pull request)

Funny, I had a pretty good year and didn't even realize it.

In 2013 I got married, bought a house, lost a bunch of weight, built my dream workshop, added a bunch of new recipes to the list of things i'm good at cooking, and got a promotion at work.

My goal in 2014 is to not loose it :D

I don't care about 2014. My long term plan is to continue caring and loving my family and go IPO with my startup. One of the things gonna be tough but who wants an easy life?

    * Make a significant contribution to Go.
    * Continue my GitHub streak: https://github.com/zachlatta
