Early in his career, Mark Twain remarked concerning New Year’s day that “Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.”
In a day or so, many of us will be making New Year’s resolutions, but according to one study “Unfortunately, most people fail to achieve their New Year’s resolutions.
