My new-year resolutions

Your new-year resolutions

The New Year approaches and as usual there are great

hopes, dreams and resolutions to make for the coming

year However, I will desist from hoping and dreaming this

time and stick to the resolution only

My past experiences have taught me that hoping and

dreams are useless waste of energy for they usually do

not come true of the target Only resolutions can be kept,

to a certain degree of success

First of all, I resolved to spend less time talking and more

time doing The past year had been a very noisy one as

my friends and I spent so much time gossiping and talking

nonsense This year we cannot afford such a luxury

There are many assignments to be done So, it is action

time and I shall devote the year to it

Secondly, I have to spend less time in front of the

television set and the computer These are fun thing but

they are also very time consuming The time is better

spent within my books Otherwise, I might run out of time

in the end I have to make the effort to get away from

these very addictive time wasters

Next I resolved to cut down on my physical activities in

school as well as outside school It is fine to score a few

goals and be a hero for a short spell, but sport-heroes are

quickly forgotten It is better to do well in the examinations

than on the field The legs get old and cannot kick the ball

for very long The brain is much more durable

Physical activities also include the time wasted in

shopping malls and fast-food outlet like Jusco, Plaza

Angsana and City Square Again these are fun things to

do while they last, but I have to outgrow them Besides,

these activities are taxing on the pocket Money can be

better spent than on a piece of fried chicken or a glass of

dizzy drink

Lastly, I resolve to keep these few resolutions Previously,

I used to make neither tons of resolution which I had no

chance nor intention of keeping So, I was just deceiving

myself in making many wishful resolutions This state of

affairs has to stop or I will keep bluffing myself A few

resolutions are far easier to remember and so to keep

than a dozen which are quickly forgotten and thus are

impossible to keep

So the old year gradually draws to a close and the new

year appears It is with determination and courage that I

shall strive to keep my resolutions and not let them drop

away like so many useless words
