2014: New Year’s Resolutions

Things have not changed much in these past twelve months. We still have to think about new ways to reduce costs. We still carry the same tax burden, and prices continue to go up in electricity, water, transportation, etc. The cost of living rises while translation tariffs remain the same. Therefore, this year’s resolutions are quite similar to 2013’s. [1]
However, I must add one important item: patience. Patience, so we can endure administrative red tape. Patience, so we can get around the obstacles raised before freelancers. Patience, so we can choose worthwhile jobs. Patience, so we can put up with difficult clients.
Yes, we’ll need a lot of patience this year.
