The start of every New Year is when we make plans to change out life for better over the forthcoming twelve months. Psychiatry professor Jayashri Kulkarni says, “January 1st is a ‘magical’ date and a vow made on this day is much more powerful than one made on June 1st, for example.” So, we make a list of things to quit, start or change. Unfortunately, most of these promises are, more often than not, broken by January 31st. They are usually the identical resolutions that were not fulfilled from the previous year, and the years prior to that. Researchers show 45 percent of us make s New Year’s resolution. The most common vows include losing weight, volunteering to help others, quitting smoking, saving money, and getting fit. Others including eating healthier food, drinking less alcohol, and going on overseas trips. However, researchers also show that the most of us are not so good at sticking to these. A study from the University of Scranton reveals that 71 percent of us stick to our annual promises for the first two weeks; six months later, less than 50 percent are still on track to keep their resolutions. Most people who give ups on their resolutions do so because of a lack of willpower and the use of the ‘escape clause’ that they will ‘try again next year’. (Adapted from 16.

He would eat and sleep all day comfortably on the tree branches. All the other animals would be busy singing, playing and looking for food and shelter but not Sloth. They told him, "You are a good for nothing." But Sloth just ignored them and carried on lazing around. One day, a bird built her nest near Sloth's branch. She laid her eggs and watched over them until they hatched. Then she had to fly off and look for food. She asked Sloth to keep an eye on her babies. Sloth was too lazy to even answer.
