Hello CKSTEM Families,

Welcome to 2025 – the best year of our lives so far!

How do we know that 2025 will be the best year yet? We must believe it to manifest every year to be better than the last. If we don’t believe in ourselves, who will?

Let’s get started by setting some goals and making them public.

Why make them public rather than keeping them private? The answer is simple: if we lack the courage to share our goals and our progress (even within a supportive group), we are likely to lose motivation to achieve them. Only those who are brave enough to make their goals and progress public can truly track their progress and receive the support and encouragement they need.

Sometimes, when we set a challenging goal (which often feels more like a dream), we may not know how to achieve it. The first step in the process is to overcome the fear of failure.

Once we overcome that fear and commit to our goals, the next step is to break the dream goal down into small, actionable parts. This is where the power of setting atomic goals comes in. It feels amazing to accomplish these small goals every day. When we do, endorphins flow through our bodies and make us happier. Just a 1% improvement every day can lead to a 365% improvement by the end of the year. This is your power, your control over your progress.

SET GOALS → OVERCOME FEARS → HAVE COURAGE → BREAKDOWN GOALS → 1% IMPROVEMENT EVERY DAY → CELEBRATE DAILY

We want to leave all our students with this simple thought: for 2025 to be the best year of your life, remember that life is not solely about winning; it’s about learning. You may face challenges and setbacks, but these are all part of the learning process. May you have the best learning experience this year!

Let’s highlight a few fantastic students dedicated to improving by 1% daily!

Thank you, Heer Patel, for being the first student to spend over 200 hours on the learning portal in just 15 weeks of this course! This is an extraordinary commitment.

Ian Kim and Nishi Patel are also close to reaching 200 hours of learning. In fact, most MPS 5 students are extremely dedicated. We feel fortunate to have so many committed students; your dedication fuels our energy and makes our learning community stronger. Thank you for being an integral part of it.

Good luck and have fun!
