New Year's resolutions are those personal objectives that we set for ourselves when we cross the December goal, but do they exist? Are there any known real cases of people who comply with them?
The fact is that, feasible or not, they provide extra motivation to start the year even if they are not fulfilled. That doesn't matter, the important thing is to have them. Whoever doesn't have them doesn't know the satisfaction of seeing them fulfilled during the following year, or doesn't enjoy the frustration laughing with family or friends remembering those of the current year, just a few hours before the end of the time to fulfill them.
To the “go to the gym”, “quit smoking” or “learn English” many more can be added in case you fail in the mission of fulfilling any of the three. Well, the truth is that these are complicated.
