Many would refer to this exercise as writing
a New Year’s Resolution, but I’d simply call it listing of the possibilities
for me. I wish to call them my bucket
list for 2017. Not all of them are
completely within my own power to undertake and complete, but let’s just say they
are my expectations that I will try to work hard to achieve.
One. Stay alive and healthy. I hope to have a healthier life in 2017. On this matter, I’d like to quote Woody
Allen. He once said, “I’m not afraid of
death. I just don’t want to be there
when it happens.”
Bottom line is, I wish that I would not only be alive but must be able to function as I did, say, a couple of
decades ago. I sure hope that would be
enough for me to do the things I still feel I need to do.
Two. I hope to be able to continue doing the
things that I did in 2016 that provided me with some resources to continue
living my life. It is important to me to
be able to provide for my needs as an ageing man, including that for my partner
in life. It is absolutely very important
to me that I know and feel I'm still useful to myself and to those I love.
Three. I hope that more friends will have access to
my forthcoming book titled, Agcom-Devcom Crossover, A
Participant-Observer’s Journey. I certainly would enjoy being invited
to various HEIs to talk about the book and about the Devcom academic program at
UPOU.
Four. It is definitely my hope to be able to put
into writing other things that I have not been able to do these past few
years. It certainly would be useful to
be able to write about my experience as Chancellor of UPOU. Up until now, I haven’t been able to write my
memoirs. Is this worth pursuing? I wonder. But I guess I would need a URA for this.
