It being the beginning of the year, one finds quite a few articles regarding the above-mentioned theme. We find articles stating that one should make a few resolutions that may actually be achieved instead of the usual long unrealistic list. One may also find humouristic articles for example by the one and only Jeremy Clarkson, saying that the month of January is the worst one when it comes to keeping up with all the resolutions. You're feeling a bit down and decide to reach for a cigarette but then you remember that you've decided to cut down on these so you decide to grab a nice chilled pint of beer but then you realize that you also promised to cut down on drinking. The next inclination would be to indulge on food but after the numerous Christmas meals, you realize that an attempt at jogging would be more beneficial. Clarkson is of the opinion that life is too short and precious to waste time on resolutions and instead we should focus on enjoying life as much as possible. Only today, the Times of Malta featured an article stating ten ways to save energy; in all probability this article was written as a consequence of the upcoming new energy tariffs. Comments vary with people saying that we should go back to the stone age whilst others said that it is about time we started to waste less and contribute in some way to saving planet earth and Enemalta's inefficieny couldn't really be left out !
I'm of the opinion that New Year's Resolutions may be useful in that they give us aims that should be given at least a shot in trying to be achieved. Not many, but a few realistic ones to try and improve our standard of life in general.
Best of luck to all in keeping those (in)famous New Year's Resolutions !
