祝：领导偏袒你，警察让着你，法院向着你，官运伴着你，媳妇由着你，吃喝随便你，财运罩着你，中奖只有你！

我托一只最可*的蚊子去找你，它会告诉你我很想你，并请它替我亲你，因为我无法接近你，希望你不要用蚊香和灭蚊器，因为它会替我送上很多“红包”给你。

过节了，我不打算给你太多，就给你五千万吧：千万要快乐！千万要健康！千万要平安！千万要知足！千万不要忘记我！

节日快乐！送你好心情甭管大海再多水，大山有多伟，蜘蛛再多腿，辣椒再辣嘴，也甭管拉登有多鬼，美国有多累，总之你最美，快乐永不悔！

让我告诉你七种活得开心的方法：1.多关心我；2.多想我；3.多照顾我；4.多疼我；5.多见我；6.多发信息给我；7.最重要的就是认识到一个这么可爱的我！

夜色如酒，寒风轻轻吹柳，菊花开了许久，你在何处奔走？天气冷了许久，你加衣没有？城市不让养狗，主人打你没有？平安可要来电，免我心中挂念主人。

新年将至，为了地球环境与资源，请自觉减少购买传统纸制贺卡，你可在大面值人民币上用铅笔填上贺词，寄给我！感谢你对环保事业的支持！祝你幸福快乐！ ...”

好贴！不顶不行！It is also very useful.

New Year's resolutions are hard to keep

新年除夕夜立下伟大的决心



Midnight on New Year's Eve is the traditional time to make great resolutions: 'I really mustn't drink as much as I did last year,' or 'This year I am going to start exercising.' But in the cold hard light of New Year's day, it is easy to decide that the promises we made to ourselves are just too hard to keep.

　　除夕夜的半夜是立下伟大决心的传统时刻："我真的不该像去年那样喝那么多酒。"或者"今年我可能要开始运动。"但在新年清晨的冷光中，很容易就会判定自己许下的承诺实在太难维持下去。



When we fail to live up to these goals, we walk away a bit damaged. The experience of not carrying through a personal goal chips away at our self-esteem and makes us feel less successful. But the difference between good intentions and failed intentions comes down to one thing: knowing that self-change is one of the hardest things we will ever do.

　　当我们无法实现这些目标时，我们就会有点受伤地离开。没有将个人目标坚持下去，这样的经验渐渐消磨掉我们的自信心，让我们觉得不太成功。但是好的意图和不成功的意图间的差异会消失在一个认识里：改变自我是我们所做过最难的事之一。



If you're making a resolution, then it pays to do a bit of planning and give yourself a better chance of succeeding. If your resolution is to start running every morning then give yourself a hand: the night before your run, lay out those running clothes beside your bed.

　　如果你正在下决心，那么花一点功夫做个计划，好给自己较大的成功机会，这种做法是值得的。如果你下的决心是每天早晨开始去慢跑，那就帮自己一个忙吧：在你去跑步的前一晚，把跑步服装摆放在你的床边。



It will be easier to get yourself into the routine of getting ready and getting yourself out the door. Strategies like these are called 'implementation intentions' and they help you get the good habits started.

　　这比较容易让你养成习惯，做好让自己出门的准备。像这样的策略叫做"执行目标"，这会帮助你开始养成好习惯。



It's also a good idea to get used to new habits at a gentle pace. If you want to stop smoking and you're a "pack-a-day" person, then don't go the whole hog and give up entirely overnight. Part of you will still want that cigarette, so wean yourself off them gradually. Start by cutting down and give yourself realistic goals to achieve every week.

　　慢慢适应新习惯也是个好主意。如果你想戒烟，而你是个"一天抽一包烟"的人，那么不要在一夜之间就彻底戒烟。你还会有点想要香烟，所以要让自己逐渐戒掉。从减少数量开始，每个星期给你自己实际的目标去完成。



One more thing to remember is that everybody slips up sometimes. There will come a day when your resolution slips and you find yourself sliding back into those old bad habits. Don't take this as an opportunity to give up completely, tell yourself that tomorrow will be better. It always is.

　　还要记住一件事，每个人都会偶尔出差错。某天你可能会忘记你所立下的决心，你会发现自己重拾那些坏习惯。不要把这个当做完全放弃的机会，而应告诉你自己明天会更好。明天总是会更好。
