New Year Resolutions?
Whenever a new year arrives, people will start writing their new year resolutions away. But what significance does it bear? Look, if you have important things to achieve, you don't need those pointers to remind you. In fact, if they are important enough, you'd be motivated to accomplish them as soon as possible, do you actually need the whole year to fulfill? And of course, if something is not important, why bother?
I remembered making some resolutions before, and realised that whatever i had written would be quickly forgotten. And when the year had come to an end, the results weren't what it was planned to be. Some goals were fulfilled--but that was due to my personal motivation throughout the year and my own desire to achieve them, rather than because i 'referred to those forgotten resolutions'. Undoubtedly, other targets on the list went cleanly forgotten, and i would only remember them when i dig them out at the very end of the year, and that is, IF i still remember where i stuffed them to.
For people like me, i think i should just adopt short-term goals. Fulfill these goals in the limited time frame that i set, and then make another, and then move on. At least it won't give me the chance to procrastinate, which may be the case of a new year resolution, where you have one full year to accomplish.
But everything just boils down to your own attitudes. However big or small your goals are, if there's no determination to it, it will never be realised. Hence i think it pays to keep reminding myself that: Dreams are only dreams unless i do something about it. So i guess my one big resolution shall be, to set my hands and legs to accomplish whatever that i had planned.
So for those who make new year resolutions, do adhere to them and don't make them mere paper talk. And for those who don't, do at least think about some major things you'd wanna achieve and stop idling around.. A brand new year is here, so don't waste yet another 365 days of your life.
Lastly, i hope that i'll be blessed with unending good luck for year 2007 and all the remaining years to come! And may happiness shower all of you out there as well! 2007 shall be a great one.
人生是黑白的.
