I think most New Year's resolutions are ludicrous. If you really want to do something, why wait for the new year to begin? It seems unlikely to me that Napoleon had resolutions like "Conquer Russia". On the other hand, if he did, it's a prime example of how most resolutions are unrealistic and unachievable. People should lower their aim and in the process lift their self-esteem.
As such, my resolutions for 2009 are:
- Achieve adequate level of personal hygiene, on average.
- Obey the law, insofar as it does not impinge too harshly on my own interpretation of copyright.
- Dress neatly when leaving the house.
- Eat good.
- Don't be too much of a jerk to people unless they deserve it.
What resolutions have you made for this year?
