New Year resolutions

Every December, people make resolutions for the upcoming New Year. But things go back to square one after a couple of days. It seems resolutions are meant to be broken. Feelings of frustration creep in when we fail to maintain the resolutions.

So instead of making resolutions for 2016, we can take refuge in the memorable quotations of three eminent authors and poets.

1) “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way” --- Napoleon Hill

2) “Every moment is a fresh beginning” --- T. S. Eliot

3) “Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start now and make a brand new ending” --- Carl Bard

If we adhere to these messages and concentrate on performing our duties sincerely, provide utmost value to each moment of life and strive for a better future instead of lamenting over past faults and deficiencies, 2016 will automatically turn out to be a year of achievements.
