2021 new-year goals - Improving communication skills

For me, this year is not favorable. Four months have passed, and I still struggle with my personal problem. At least, now I find a small hope to overcome my own problems. If I can solve all my own personal problems, then I think I will spend most of the rest of the time this year improving my communication skills.

I know, so far, my weakest skill was communication. I am aware of that, but I don't spend time learning more about that because I want to learn more about academic things than people. I used to does not appreciate communication skills as a reason not to improve my communication skills. Sometimes I feel angry at myself because I will always be underrated than people who know how to communicate but have less ability. I am cannot using words to show my skills and qualifications.

But after this year, this is not going to be true anymore. In the next year, I am gonna be different. I am working very hard to be good at communication.

Last few weeks, I started to talk to more people. I started to get familiar with more coworkers at the company. I have joined many more social activities. Step by step, I think I'm on my way to get out of my comfort zone.

Bellow are five academic goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year. And I think I am doing it well.

1. Learning English, focus on speaking skills with Elsa speak. 15 minutes per day.
2. Practice data and algorithms on Leet code. Two problems per week.
3. Practice mock interview on Pramp. One mock interview per two weeks.
4. Learning NLP, computer vision.
5. Read one book per month.
