Hi everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm David… Man.. it feels like I haven't said that intro for a very, very long time!

First of all — super belated Happy New Year. I know it's already a bit late to say that, but honestly… the past couple of months were kind of a blur for me.

If you've been listening for a while, you probably guessed it already — yes, it was MBA application season.

Deadlines, essays, revisions, last-minute changes, time zones… the whole thing.

Now that most of that is finally done, and other than a few family travel plans coming up, I'm pretty much back.

That also means the podcast is coming back with me.

Not all at once, not overnight — but I'll slowly ramp things up and get back to a more regular rhythm, similar to what we had before.

When I participated the offline meeting last week, I shared my 2026 goals. And I also talked to you while I was curious about David’s new year goals. Haha, but I forgot it. From this episode, it answered my questions which also touched me deeply. Hope it goes well and we could build a better community to be participants not just listeners. Love you, David!

Happy new year david. To me, the most instructive take-away is to make plans for the bad days. I have had such a Busy week that I didn't have time to Learn English and do my reading for an hour, which is part of my new year resolution. Maybe I should do it for half an hour in my bad days 哈哈哈哈哈哈

OO_oSOS:To be honest ，I didn't do both of them at all these days. Maybe lower the Intensity would help

:Yes exactly! It’s like working out! Slowly build up for stamina. Start slow and plan for bad days!
