New year eve is a very special event in all of our lives. We wait patiently for previous year to pass and another to come. And the last few hours, with friends, beloved, family and others, makes us tremble with excitement. This is the time that people are supposed to make new year\u2019s resolutions. Those aims which we promise to fulfil in the year to come. Sometimes we succeed in keeping those promises, sometimes we don\u2019t. But nevertheless, we go through this ritual every New Year\u2019s Eve. Since it is important for all of us to keep working towards an aim, a goal, a target, this piece of ritual is very dear to us.<\/p>\n

These are the things I wish to discuss before the New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are resolutions concerning certain habits that we wish to lose, concerning health and fitness issues, concerning career goals and many others. All of us know what we must achieve in the coming year. But there are other things that we fail to recognize. Usually our resolutions are regarding stuff\/ people surrounding us. But there are things outside our relations that keep affecting us unknowingly. These are the things I wish to discuss before the New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

The world is changing, as mankind makes its way towards an artificially flooded environment, mother nature has decided to complain. In doing so, there are certain changes in the world that are causing serious troubles for the human race. For instance, the global warming, the changes in seasons and climate, ozone depletion. Then there are other things like food insecurity, population explosion which lead to socio-economic problems that we see every day. It\u2019s time we start thinking beyond our little scope.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When all of us think about others, we become one big family, the human family. This is what will ultimately save us from the doom that lurks in our future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new year\u2019s resolution concept can be an opportunity for us to make some positive changes in us that will not only affect us and those that we love but all our brothers and sisters in the world beyond our comfort zone. Here are some ideas that we can contribute to a socio-environmental cause for the sake of betterment of the world by resolving to practice.<\/p>\n
