NO MORE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
Let's have life-long aspirations

Okay, tomorrow will be the first day of 2015. I hope you would not be trying too hard to keep your New Year resolutions. Giving up your bad habits? Trying to sleep more? Hoping to eat more healthily, to exercise more or to generally be a better person?

Well, experience tells us that making such resolutions are likely to fail. Perhaps, these resolutions are not worth making in the first place.

Don't get me wrong - it is always praiseworthy to try to improve ourselves, but I think we should not just want to do certain things from year to year.

Maybe, we should have some permanent aspirations which are common with everyone; and I think it should be an ongoing process for the rest of our lives. So, with that in mind, let me recommend the following simple life principles:

1. SEEK KNOWLEDGE

2. LOVE OTHERS

3. BE GOOD

4. DO GOOD

Let's strive to have a fruitful and fulfilling life!
