now that the year is almost over in just a few days... people have this tradition that they made this new year's resolution thingy that i have no idea if it really works...
ever since the world begun (for me) i didn't really have any as i can remember... i always think that change doesn't need to be planed or make it as a promise that you can't keep... change is something that you need to do and not plan to do so... it's like saying shut up and do it...
one thing that people should understand is try to look back in the past year (this year) and try to answer some basic questions... like what are the mistake that i did... did i learn from them?
may be learning for the experiences we had this year is most important thing that we should focus ourselves to... unless we didn't learn from it we can never move forward... we are bound to do the same mistakes that we did this year until the day that we will die.

New Year's Resolutions really are just something to me that is a waste of time and energy. There are really just going to be a lot of times where people are going to make their New Year's Resolutions, but it is in a half hearted way, as if they feel as if they are obligated to really make said New Year's Resolutions.
It is a wonder that people really are going to make the same stupid resolution that they are not going to keep. Therefore, I'm not going to make one and haven't for many years. I do have goals that I want to accomplish, but to make a new year's resolution is just something that I'm going to do. Why even wait for the new year to try and accomplish something anyway.

I don't make any new year's resolution ever. I just try to recollect what are the things where i have failed, and from there would try to devise ways to correct it. But i would really make it a point to be able to correct it.

i only have a few for myself... and on top of the list would be to care for myself more than i would for other people.
i decided to live happily and to not depend on other people for happiness. I have learned that in order to be happy we have to know our value and next year, actually starting this moment, i would already be giving myself more value.

The only resolution I will do will be on New Year Day itself. I'm not also into new year's resolution. I will not involve myself with fireworks. I need my ten fingers to encode and write. As much as I hate it, my work is sorely dependent on the movement of my hands. I have to write a damned paper, err proposal, and other various forms of writing for my income. So no, fireworks of what ever kind. I'll also plug my ears so that I can lessen the noise.

My resolution this year will be to have a more positive attitude and outlook on life. I am reading a book to help with this also and I am hoping I can keep this new outlook for the New Year! =)

As far as i am concerned,new year is an auspicious day to start your beginning.I dont usually make any resolutions for new years and if i have made any before it havent worked out for me,making a resoluton is not a very big thing but making it happen or maintaing it is the biggest thing and all peoples should accept this.But my previous new years hapened when i was in high school,but this time i am doing ma college so thats something i am looking forward.
My kind advice to those peoples who make up resolutions::
MAKE A RESOLUTION BUT DONT FORGET TO FORGET THE RESOLUTION WHAT YOU HAVE MADE!!!!!
