Progress Report October — 2020
Increasing Numbers tell our Success Story.

The Winters have officially arrived, as we are in the second last month of this infamous year 2020.
This year has turned out to be a life-changer for a lot of people. Some who lost jobs due to covid was able to become an owner of a startup, while some were able to persuade their dreams that were buried long back due to the commitments and worldly pleasures.
We have seen a lot of people becoming a blogger, Youtuber/ chef, and trainer in this year most of them can be seen as more relaxed as well as content in life even after earning less than what they were getting in the corporate jobs.
People like me who were always busy in a job. The meaning of the weekend was to either sleep or travel is now changed as I can spend quality time with my family.
Apart from my work, I can do gardening, cooking, blogging on Medium as well as Smileytraveller. I am learning and sharing blogging tips on my Youtube channel Smileytraveller.
Most importantly, I have realized that true happiness is never about huge money but a decent life full of enjoyment and learnings.
Surprisingly, it is one of the best years in terms of my growth and learnings as I am documenting as well as monitoring my goals, achievements, and statistics.
The satisfaction to achieve a goal is irreplaceable.
Last month, I had shared a report with all the goals and achievements from previous months. I am coming with a quick recap and what is upcoming in November.
The aim is to motivate people that growth is achievable with hard work, dedication, and consistency.
I was one of the most hated students of my English teacher as I never took it seriously, and to add, more I failed in Computers in my middle school.
But, when there is an urge to learn about something, we can overcome all the hardships to achieve the destination.
I started blogging, and step by step, learned from my own mistakes, always took criticism positively, read more what others wrote, most importantly learned a lot from people, and still doing it.
Everyone is a teacher if you are ready to become a student to learn more about life.
Below are the October goals, and the ones in bold are complete. While the remaining will be worked in November.
