I have stopped making new years resolutions after not being able to keep them since I started making them.
But I'm thinking of making one this year. I think worth a shot, better to try than not right? What about you? Still making a new years resolution for 2011?

I love making new years resolution. Last time, my new years resolution is not to cry easily to some teases coz I cry easily when my friends scares me and tease me. I am like a child or a crying baby. So I told myself that this year I won't be a crying baby/lady . . my point here of completing this stuff as my new years resolution is to teach myself of becoming strong. So, this year . . I promised myself not to invest money online since I invest money online just to earn but I'm so hard headed . . so this new year, I promise not to spend any cents online instead work hard for my law school and for my family.. ^^
Happy earning!

Wow you're in law school? Good luck!
Yeah investing online really is a hassle, better to just invest your time.
I hope you achieve your goals! It's always good if you have it clear in your mind what you want to do right?

Wow you must be making a lot of money online to pay for law school!
But thats a good habit. Planning is necessary. Also, Law School can be a pain, but it is worth the effort. Don't be discouraged by the antics of the professors, they are trying to bring you down to see if you have what it takes to make it in the profession, its nothing personal or so I heard some of my friends say

HAHAHAH thats how I organize and trained myself.. ^^ . . while sleeping I make money.. LOL! TIME = MONEY . . That money is intended for my law school and some expenses at home.. ^^

No, I don't have new years resolution, when I was a child I have but none of them come true. Will try to make the next year more productive and a good year for me.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you!

Making New Years resolutions is a bad way to begin a new year. The odds that you will keep your resolution are very low, and if you fail to keep it, you will get a feeling of low esteem about yourself. So take my advise and make a resolution for 2011 never to make a New Year Resolution again.

Thats another way to look at it. Sure failure so why begin your year with a failure right? Hmmmm interesting thought. though!

No, I'm not. That's useless for me. Any resolution I fail to execute will end in trash. For me, personally any year is just the same. Nothing different at all. What makes different is ourselves. If we really wanna change ourselves in the next year, we don't need to make any resolution for the next year. Just do it and do it right now. That's saving our time than keeping making a plan. That's my opinion.

That's actually a good point!
However, we often procrastinate thinking we could hold it off till the end of the year!
If we do want to change there is no need for a list. True.

I make New Years resolutions every year. Maybe sometimes I cannot keep it from the start to the end of the next year. For example, I want to lose weight and I always insist on keeping on a diet for some weeks and then I cannot stand. But I will make this year again. Because when your make a resolution, you will try your best to make it successful during the early time of the new year. If you don't make, perhaps you won't make any effort or take actions to make your resolution come true.

True it is good if we have a goal that we have set ourselves to complete. Making a list of resolutions will help us remember what we should be doing. At least we can try right?

I guess everybody's on the same page right? But will you still make one for this year? I'm leaning on the doing it right now

No I haven't set one in a long time. Every time I do I never accomplish any of them so this year I have just decided to make it a better year then last year. Don't matter in what area just so long as it is better.

I always do work at the last moments. Till now I haven't thought of any New year Resolutions nor I have taken any new year Resolutions. I started taking Resolution from last year but I did not complete any resolution of the Last year. I am too Lazy to do anything.
I also forgot what my resolution was.
But this year I will surely take a resolution and complete it too.

I always, lightly, make the same New Year resolution. I´m afraid I´m not good at keeping it, but It´s worth to try it. I tell myself that I will eat a bit less from now on so that I can slim down some punds. Along with that goes the exercise resolution (two in one, I suppose). I agree with you. Let´s go on trying.
As for the rest, I know that I am what I am and can´t(and don´r want to) change myself.

Yeah I guess we are who we are but with a little practice we can get rid of some of our bad habits perhaps!
I'm with you though, better to fall trying than not doing anything about it right?

I understand what you mean Harry that was actually how I felt these past few years why take on something you are gonna fail completing anyway right?
This year however, I'd like to take on that task anyway... if I could!

I gave up making New Year's resolutions years ago. I don't know of any one that has actually kept theirs.
We used to do a thing every New Years Eve, we'd all write down our resolutions on small pieces of paper and then I would seal them up in an envelope and put them away till the next year. The following year at our New Years celebration I would open up the envelope and we would all read our resolutions and see who had kept them or not. It could get a little disheartening year after year and no one had managed to keep a New Years resolution. We finally just gave it up.
Sometimes I might make a little decision in my own thoughts to do better at some thing or another in the new year. But I never really make it a resoluton, too much pressure there.

Though a list is not necessary, it actually is a good idea to keep it sealed to find out what you were able to complete. You are right that it is disheartening when you have not completed any in your list.
But a list is not necessary I think... what is important is our decision to change ourselves. Not pressuring ourselves should be one of the keys, but how to do that would be the problem!
