Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the Teacher's Arms first topic
As we have entered the New Year, it's a tradition for many to set resolutions – goals and promises for the year ahead. But this practice often comes with mixed opinions. Vide the article in the Guardian for instance [link here]. So, I thought it would be intriguing to bring this discussion to our forum: Is it worth making New Year's resolutions?
Points to Consider:
- Effectiveness: Do you think setting resolutions at the beginning of the year is an effective way to achieve goals? Why or why not?
- Personal Experience: Have you ever set a New Year's resolution? If so, were you able to stick to it, and did it positively impact your life or studies?
- Alternative Approaches: Some people prefer setting goals throughout the year as opposed to one fixed time. Do you think this is a more practical approach?
- Motivation and Willpower: How do New Year's resolutions play into one's motivation and willpower? Does the symbolic start of a new year provide a stronger incentive?
- Peer Influence: How do friends, family, influence your decision to make or not make resolutions?
This topic isn't just about whether or not we should make resolutions, but also about how we approach goal-setting and self-improvement in our lives as students and individuals.
I'm really looking forward to reading your thoughts and experiences. Feel free to share any strategies you use for goal-setting and staying motivated, whether it's New Year's or any time of the year!
Happy Discussing!
