Do you have any New Year Resolutions for 2014?

Posted by: Josef Essberger

Looking at the coming year

For 2013 there were nearly 500 answers to a similar question. Have you kept those resolutions, and what do you plan to do this coming year?

A resolution is something that we “resolve” or “firmly decide” to do. Here are some typical resolutions:

stop eating like a slob
start acting like a gentleman or lady
lose 50kg
get up before noon
stop yelling at strangers

What New Year’s Resolutions will you be keeping in 2014?
