In addition, the long and rich Chinese history has enriched the language with idioms and aphorisms. Most English speakers have cited the language as the hardest language to learn in the world.

For some, another year might just mean another failed attempt at seeing New Year’s resolutions all the way through.

There are statistics that show only 9.2% of people report actually achieving their resolutions. Many people get easily frustrated with themselves if they don’t fulfill the goals they set, even if they don’t see immediate results from the efforts they do put in. Some of the worst resolutions include... Making too many New Year’s resolutions. Only exercising indoors. Deciding to quit smoking “cold turkey.” Starving as a means of cutting holiday weight. Opting for the ‘quick’ cosmetic fix to get lean. Having a vague exercise goal. Taking a ton of vitamins in order to become healthier. Deciding that losing weight means restricting foods. Having this mindset: I want to have a body like Brad Pitt. Saying, ‘I want to eat healthier’ without really knowing what that means for you. Save up for liposuction and don’t tell your spouse what you’re secret goal is! Yes these ALL exist, so think carefully about acheivable NYR’s!
