i've never done new year's resolutions for a long time. i feel no need to. human nature works on impulse, and we thus should do things however, whenever, wherever we want to. are we shouldnt place ourselves in the comfortable middle zone and use the word 'try', because sub-consciously, trying is as good as not wanting to do something. decisions should be converted into actions almost immediately, then rendering new year's resolutions quite futile. but of course, every motivational speaker's tagline would be, it's always good to plan your personal progress step by step. that i don't deny. but planning on paper, regardless how nicely drawn will not matter, it is that mental effort that counts. besides, life is already a string of irrational events where planning is a concept conjured by the human mind for stability's sake.
