Resolutions, anyone?

2010! What a year. Happiness and sadness. Joy and Sorrow. Life changing experiences. New Friends. Truly, what a year! But everything comes and goes and so has ended 2010. We might have loved the year, hated it, been okay with it or did not care about it. But now that it is over, we might want to learn some lessons from it.

2011! A new year, a new decade! We have a new opportunity knocking. Time we heed to it. So, we need to make some plans and some lists of do's and don't's. We each have a different mindset, hence our goals, aim and objectives will be different. Yet, there are certain things we need to do. More on that later.

What are 'Resolutions'? Something we should do? According to me, it is something that we should do for our betterment, for the improvement of the society, for the benefit of mankind. Every new year we make resolutions. Resolutions that we follow, resolutions that we don't follow and resolutions which we forget. Let's make some amends this year.

This year, actually, not only this year but every forthcoming year, let's pledge to do our bit for the society and the world. Something that improves the standards of living or something that makes someone's life worth living. Something for someone who has given us all we have today. Mother Earth. I want all of us to make some resolutions that we will follow, no matter what.
-> Keeping the environment clean: Various ways. Not littering and throwing the garbage in the bin for one.
-> Saving our precious water resources: For example, Closing the tap while brushing.
-> Reducing pollution to the maximum: Walking short distances, switching the vehicle off at a traffic signal.
-> Conserving Energy: Last but not the least, we all need to do all we can to conserve energy in every form. Switching off lights and fans, using solar cookers, not wasting electricity, and in many other ways.

So, if you are lost for resolutions, I hope this post helped you in some way or the other. I know I did not talk about any personal resolutions but, we gain from the society, so why not do something for it?

Here's wishing you a very happy and prosperous new year!
