New Year’s Resolutions, really?

We all make New Year’s resolutions at or around New Year’s Day in order to achieve our goals and improve ourselves. However, fewer than nine percent of people actually accomplish their New Year’s resolutions, according to Forbes, an American biweekly magazine. Here are some funny New Year’s resolutions from Latin Times, an online publication: 1. The New Year will be like the old one if you keep on doing the same old things. 2. My New Year’s resolution is to stop hanging out with people who ask me about my New Year’s resolutions. 3. My excuses for already failing my New Year’s resolution are more complicated than the Korea unification plans. (edited for local application) 4. For my New Year’s resolution, I promise to stop correcting your terrible spelling and focus more on your horrific grammar. 5. Dear God, my prayer for 2014 is a fat bank account and a thin body. Please don’t mix these up like you did this past year. 6. I probably shouldn’t be making any new resolutions this year... mainly because I’m still working on the ones from last year. 7. This year, let’s resolve to make better bad decisions. 8. I can’t believe it’s been a year since I didn’t become a better person. Managing Director H. Gene Reu (reu@timescore.co.kr)
