New Year Resolutions - Promises to Keep

New Year is the time for making new year resolutions. A resolution is a promise or a commitment that you make to yourself. When we ' resolve', it means one has made a determined decision, a decision to follow a promise to its end. The relevance of the name 'new year resolutions' is that such a promise is made on New Year's Day, the first day or the day marking the beginning of the year.
Though the ironic part of new year resolutions is that most of us fail to live up to the promises we have made to ourselves. It is very easy to lie to someone else, but being false to our own person is something which is very difficult. And especially so when the promise is towards a cause not directly linked to our own. Therefore as per the number of people involved resolutions can be either,
Self Related Resolutions-Such resolutions are first person in nature. The promises which are going to affect the decision maker himself/herself come under this category.
Or,
Socio Centric Resolutions-These are the commitments which are for the betterment of a person/persons or for the society as a whole.
