    I quit smoking in September and I've started to drive to work by bike instead of car since last Monday. So, I guess my resolution is to keep doing that. Also going to try playing the guitar some more and get in the top 5 of my chess club tournament (currently I'm tied for 6th place) and become a better programmer than I was last year obviously. I think that'll be more than enough ambition for one year. :thumbsup:

        My resolution is to lose more weight this year. I lost a total of 20 lbs last year (It isn't a lot I know but I took it slow and steady.) If I do this a couple of more years, I will be back to my high school weight levels.

          This is not a resolution. You have no control over how the market place views you or reacts to you. Your resolution, if you must have one, should be something you can control. With that said, I know what you meant and I wish you good luck. :)

          Indeed, it's better to have 10 measurable realistic short term goals. Maybe he already knows exactly what he's going to do but he doesn't want us to know his secret.

            losing 20 pounds is better than gaining 20 pounds, obviously. Good job!

              New years resolutions are a lot of nonsense. They are akin to fairy tails, wishing wells and making a wish before blowing out candles on a birthday cake. Their efficacy and voracity is only believed by the young or those with limited intellectual powers. Besides, they never work if disclosed before new years eve.

                  Is that even possible for you? That's like dividing by zero! :)

                    True, it could seriously disturb the timespace continuum.

                          If anyone can handle it, I could. The only other person I know that can divide by zero is Chuck Norris, and he learned how to do it from me.
