6 "le Canadian statesmaU. Bnwn Education <Terry Hlawkins I have neyer Deen much for New Year's resolutions. It's flot that l'mi against them, it's juSt that like many other people, Pinm fot very good at keeping them. However the idea of a resolution is a good one if you can pick something excîting to resolve. The old standby resolution of giving up smoking or going on a diet may be important but they are boring and painful. There's nothing exciting about them at al. As honourable as they May be, they seem more like a punishment than anything else. What a person needs is a resolution that wiIl resuit in them looking forward to working on it. Something chailenging and rewarding. Something that wil resuit in personal growth, excitement and yet be possible to attain. So now that most people have put aside, their New Year's resolutions for this year, here is one to replace them. It's honourable, posi- tive, pleasant,' challenging, rewarding, exciting and pro- vides for personal growth. When you first read it you may not think it, sounds that great, but if you think about it, it's al there. Here it is already for posting on your bulleti n board for handy reference ail year long. 4 The resolution: " RESOLVE to do something important FIRST, rather than let ail those everyday thing$, take up ail my strength and leave me with no time and no energy to do what I really think or feel is important. The reasoning behind the resolution is that we often get completely occupied, by our everyday duties and if we are not careful'they comsume us. There is always another job to do around the house. There is always another task to be done at work. There is always another phone eall to make. There is always, always another everyday task to do. It simply neyer gets finished, s0 there is neyer any time or energy left to rise above these tasks to do something really important to you. That's why something you feel is worth- whle and important has to be done first. If one doesn't do this they will find that they will grow old ini years having left so M any things undone. And when they look back over their if e they will say, 1 wish I had-'taken the time tii do it." What is this important thing one miglit resolve to place first. That will vary fromf person to person depending on their views. For one person it might mean going back to school to complete their education. For another person it might mean taking the time to renew friendships. Another person miglit build the boat hie always wanted to build. Yet, another person miglit learn to ski'or swim. Stili others' might visit and chat with senior citizens who can't get out much in winter. 0f course, placing your project first instead of last does not mean placing it ahead of your duties to your family, friends and employer. LIt simply means giving it first caîl for a reasonable amount of time ahead of many of the' other -things to be done. This calîs for some plan- ning. The projeet can't take al your time. The ordinary tasks that keep the home operating and the food on the table stili have to get done.
