I no longer want to make New Year's Resolutions as I cannot make it. I tried many times but I failed. That is why instead of thinking what resolutions to make, I am thinking of what do I want to happen this year 2011. Well, first, I want to be a good, professional and successful teacher. I want to be knowledgeable enough in terms of giving discipline to my students, and I want to apply all the effective teaching strategies with my students. I also want to finish my Master's Degree and have a definite plan of going abroad. I want to pass the TOEFL certification. I want to give a comfortable life to my family especially to my parents. I also want to settle a life with my boyfriend.How about you? What do you want to happen this coming year?

I'm not very good with resolutions either, but what I'd like the most is to get a job that I actually enjoy doing (it would involve writing), and which pays enough for me to live on. I'd also like to read as many books as possible, go to the theater at least twice a month and learn how to dance. I wouldn't mind a bit of traveling either...

hi lilac,
It is very wonderful that you have the talent in writing. Make the most out of it. Are you familiar with Bukisa and Triond? You can do a part-time job online through those sites. I hope that I can be a good writer also. As of now, I keep on practicing english language. I idolized those people who can write a novel like the one J.K Rowling and the one who wrote the Twilight. I hope good things will come to you generously this coming year. Happy mylotting.

You are very much welcome lilac.
I already got paid in Triond. However, since I am not that active in Bukisa and also of Triond, I am not getting any payment now. Teaching and studying at the same time makes me so busy to participate on the different writing sites. Just like now, even we are given 2 week vacation, I am still busy because our professors at the university gave us many assignments and I also have some things to do at my work.

I want to be able to move in to a new house of my own this year. I've been paying for rent for 10 years and I think it's time I have my own house.

hi astroboy,
That is a good objective this coming year. Here in the Philippines, we have the so-called "Rent to Own". You will rent a house and pay it for a number of year. After you finished paying it, then the house will be yours. My mom always tell about it. She says that before we get married, we must make sure that we have our own house where we can settle. She said that if we are just renting, it will be a lifetime sacrifice because we have to pay monthly. Happy mylotting!

Yes, you're right. I've been thinking about it and that's why I said to myself that if I'm paying for something it's better if I will own it.

i wish that God will bless me with a baby next year... also, i wish my parents and my family will be healthy... i wish that me and my hubby can get a better job next year to support our family... and most importantly, we are in the process of making a decision whether to move back to our home country to set up a business or keep on staying here... we can only do our best, pray and leave the decision to God... He knows what is the best for both of us... take care and have a nice day...

Thanks for participating lingli. I hope you can realize your dreams this coming year.Hold on with your faith in God. I believe nothing is impossible once you keep your faith with Him. Also, have confidence that it will come true.

I think you made some good resolutions. Try not to worry so much about your parents. You can only do what you can control. But I know how you feel. I want more than anything to make my parents comfortable for the rest of my lives. But that is not in my hands. My resolutions this year are to be kinder, more patient, and more understanding. I especially want to be more patient with my mother (who has dementia). She can get really mean, and instead of losing my temper, I want to have enough patience to remember it isn't her that is being mean, it is the disease that has ravaged her mind.

hi jennyze,
Wow! that is good. I also want same to happen with me but I am small. Sometimes I don't know if I have to struggle for more fat or not. It is because if I will be fat, I would be likely to look like an egg. Being small and fat at the same time is not good for my appearance I think. I share same hopes with you regarding money. I have a plan for my family in the future and that is to travel around the Philippines. I hope I can realize it. I think that will be the greatest form of relaxation I can give to my family especially to my parents.

hi kukueye,
this is a wonderful post of yours. It is full of positive things and I also want same in my life. However, life is not always a bed of roses. If we always experience happiness and victories, we won't be that strong. I hope for your goals to come true in the future. Happy mylotting!

Hi!, Like you I always have a new year's resolution every start of the year but I always fail to do it. Now I don't want to have a new year's resolution too, I am just looking forward for some good things that may happen next year.

hi meenneixz,
It is very essential to be positive. They say that the more you think of a particular thing, the more it happens. If we want good things to happen, then think and work for those good things. Advance Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year to you and your family. Happy mylotting!

I am looking forward to a better future and financial stability. I have been working for most of my life and for about 13 years I have love my work. But such work was more of services oriented rather than for personal gain. I love the work but at this point in time that am already getting old. I am hoping that for this coming year and the incoming years, I will be able to secure a better future for my family.

hi jpso138,
I hope that your wants or goals come true this coming year. You are a hardworking man and nothing is impossible once you are determined to do something. Keep your faith. Always believe that positive things come to those people who have a good heart. I know that you are one of them because you are thinking of the welfare of your family. You are a generous and loving man. Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Happy mylotting!

The same goes with me. I really don't make new year's resolution. For me, its a crap. 'Cause even if you state it without action, its useless. I do write the things or desires I have in the year ahead. I learned this technique in reading the January, 2010 issue of Readers Digest Asia. Half of my 2010 goals really came true. What I want to have in 2011 is a good health for me and my family to make the things we wanted, clear mind and vision and happiness! ;) And of course, WORLD PEACE!

hi preppydezza,
I share same thoughts with you. Years ago, someone started a post on what we want to have for 2010. I listed there what I wanted and believe me it also came true. Thought and writings have power. And one thing which is important is too keep faith in God, continue working for your goals and never give up. Thanks for meaningful response.

I have simple but difficult to happen new years resolution.I have no longer a resolution to be like this or etc.I know I've made a lot of promises but I can not fulfill it.What I want is to minimize my bad attitude and learn to have patience.To respect others and listen good advices.To be more positive person and happy.I will try my best also to move on from my past failure relationship.To accept and forget and understand that there's person who were not meant for you.I want also, to give time and more bonded with my family because we just keep on fighting.For myself,I will try to be more responsible and independent.To wake up early and learn to manage time.For my family,I will do my best to be the one who will serve and take good care.To help them in works in house.And most of all, to give time to God because this year I can count how many times I've went to church and it very seldom.
If i'll be given a chance to continue my studies, I will study hard and take it seriously.These things how I wish to change for better are very difficult to me.But, I will try to make it.

For me, new year's resolutions are not fit for anyone anymore. Most people make resolutions that they cannot fulfill. Few resolutions are only fulfilled. What I want to happen in 2011 is peace and prosperity. I also want myself to be more matured and developed for the next school year.

hi meuji,
I share same hopes with you.Before, making New Year Resolution is very popular. However, as time goes by, I think it is no longer effective because people are just good in beginnings but not all throughout the year. That is why I just ask what people wants and not the resolution.Peace and Prosperity is also what I want in our country.

Few people make resolutions, and even fewer or close to zero actually keep them. Some for their resolutions say they will try to lose weight, so they'll go for a walk on new years day, and that'll be it for the year with the family. Its pointless to be honest. I don't reallly know what i want to happen in 2011, its so close to 2012.

hi Arteta,
Your post seems to be incomplete. What is in 2012? I think that it is essential to have a clear vision of what you want to happen this 2011. It will give us direction on what gonna happen even though we do not know if this will really happen or not.

Hello Annie,
Even I am tired of making New year resolutions now and then letting go of them barely a month into the new year. Next year I haven't planned anything big. I am just thinking about working hard at my office and become a good professional in the first half of the year and then prepare for exams and get admission into a good University for my masters.
I wish you all the best for your new year aspirations as well.

hi jshekhar,
Thanks for your response. I am taking up my Masters too. I hope to finish it within two years. I have same hopes with you. I want to be successful in my chosen career. I want to improve more on my teaching. I hope that this year will bring multiple fortunes each one of us.

Hello Annierose,
You've got a great New Year plan to start with. ^_^ New Year's Resolutions are really hard to keep because it deals with our attitude and it's more subjective than having what we want to happen this 2011.
I don't think I can accomplish as much as you want to happen for 2011.. All I want happen this 2011 would be prosperity and stability.. I want to have a stable job in a health care institution and to prosper in whatever jobs I will enter may it in the net or in my workplace. ^_^

hi lady_di1210,
I see myself with your wants a year ago.As of now, I am already teaching in a public school like what I had written here in mylot before 2010.I also passed the exam on the university where I want to take up my Masters. I am so thankful to everyone especially to our Creator who answered my prayers. Your wants is also good. I also want to achieve prosperity and stability in my job. I hope that you will achieve what you want this 2011.

Hi annierose,
That is a good thinking and vision for this coming new year 2011. I hope and pray that all your wants are being given by God and success. In my point of views this coming 2011 just asking God to make more better than 2010, more strength how to face and overcome all set backs, problems, financial crisis and others this coming year if any. Pray that my family will always grant what our needs daily and protect them everyday in the whole year to come.. It is is simple but not really high but I think in a positive way and godly manner... thanks and see you around

hi visavis,,
Thanks for a wonderful response.. I do hope to that all your wants be fulfilled this coming year. It is good that you have a positive thinking. In my opinion,it is very essential to be positive in every endeavor in our life. Whatever is it that we want in our life, we must stick with it. Along with our hopes must be a strong faith to our Creator. Miracles happen if we just believe in it.

I want to have a debt free 2011. I'll start paying off my credit card and all the people I owe. Then give more time to people that really matters to me. And prioritize the things that need to be done first.Sounds simple. But it's hard.

hi stephmanimbao,
It is really hard to get away to those things we are naturally inclined to do. I also experience it.As for me,your wants are very nice. It is the one lacking with me sometimes. I failed to prioritize important things or people before anything else. I hope that will change this coming year.Happy mylotting

that is a very meaningful vision fgb_fritz
I also want myself to be like that. I am already 26 years old but sometimes, there are certain instances in which I act very immature. I want a new me. I want to be more responsible and smarter.
