My 2006 Resolution

That summarizes my 2006 resolution... hehe

When I asked someone for his 2006 resolution, guess what's his answer?

"1280x854 for now"

That's very funny and witty of him.... hahaha. Yes, I really laughed at his reply though he sounded so serious.

I guess I have to learn to be more relax and carefree from 2006 onward. I want to laugh more, be contented with simple things in life, be innocent again, sleep early and wake up early, don't expect too much from others, to be child-like, be less complicated about life and relationship.

And to all my readers and friends:

I WISH YOU HAPPINESS FOR YEAR 2006!

I hope the article below is useful to those who have some resolutions to make. Below are some excerpts...

Resolution Solution
6 great ways to make your goals stick (by Joan Esherick)

....As I read through my files, I realized my difficulty in keeping resolutions was less a matter of desire, discipline, or motivation, and more a misunderstanding of how to set goals effectively.

New Year's resolutions are nothing more than goals in disguise. Our problem is we often treat resolutions as desires (I want to get in shape) or promises (I will be a better friend), whereas goals give us a plan.

Try these six steps for more effective resolutions:

1 Be specific.
2 Be realistic.
3 Include a way to measure your success
4 Think short-term and long-term
5 Be flexible.
6 Review periodically.

ask the following questions:
How am I doing? Am I still on course?
Which goals am I encouraged about?
Which are frustrating me? Can I be more flexible?
Have circumstances changed since I set this goal?
Is my goal realistic? Specific? Measurable?
If not, what could I change to make it more so?
Is this the right season of life to work on this?
Have I prayed about this goal?
