Here is a positive to-do list for the upcoming year：

Start spending time with right people. There are the people you like? who love and appre-ciate you, and who encourage you to improve. They not only accept who you are now? but also accept who you want to be. 1.

Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you. 4. Significant achievements are al-most always realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the “mistakes” you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement.

Start forgiving yourself and others. We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. 5. It means you’re letting go of the hatred (仇恨) and pain, and choosing to learn from the pain and move on with your life.
