What is a new year's resoluation?
A New Year's resolution according to the online Wiki is a commitment (not just a wishful thinking) that one makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day.
In early 20th-century, the New Year's resolutions in the United States, or the popular goals include resolutions to:
- Improve health: lose weight, exercise more, eat better, drink less alcohol, quit smoking;
- Improve finances: get out of debt, save money;
- Improve career: get a better job
- Improve education: improve grades, get a better education, learn something new (such as a foreign language or music);
- Improve self: become more organized, reduce stress, be less grumpy, manage time better, be more independent;
- Start or Maintain a diary;
- Take a trip; or
- Volunteer to help others
What is my new year resolution?
I'd like to commit myself to learn and know the truth better. So, I have more wisdom and freedom to do what is right to my children, students, and people I encounter in a daily basis.
In fact, my resolution comes from the verse in the Bible. John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.你 們 必 曉 得 真 理 ， 真 理 必 叫 你 們 得 以 自 由 。"
God will also lead us to the truth through conscience, careful consideration, God's commandments, and through Jesus Christ.
How about you?
