As each New Year rolls around, many of us sit down to think and make our New Year's resolutions. It is a time to make resolutions that hopefully will put us in a better situation than the previous years. The most commonly observed typical New Year's resolutions are to go to the gym to lose some weight, to quit smoking, drinking or gambling, to go back to school and earn a degree which is expected to make a difference in one's life, and to bring one's self much closer to the glory of the Almighty God. Among some Eritreans their New Year's plan is to go to Eritrea and visit family members and relatives, or to build a house for retirement, or to search for an auspicious spouse, to get married at a propitious time and have children before it becomes too-late. However, quite recently, among many Eritreans in Diasporas, their New Year's resolutions tend to be making the commitment to actively participate in the Eritrean people's movement and national affairs and to provide financial and material support to orphans, disabled, and families of fallen heroes. Every year after the holidays, many of us vow 'this will be the year!' we resolve to maintain a positive attitude and good relationships among our peers and stick to our own crowd for our own survival, safety, security and solidarity. But often these vows are cast aside and thrown away like unwanted holiday gifts. Many of us even make ambitious goals in our New Year's resolution and not long after the excitement of the moment has passed, we make all types of excuses for not proceeding with the promise made to ourselves. Thus, most of our New Year's resolutions are not kept because we do not have the will power and determination to stick to our commitment. Our personal character should enable us to rise above the little and petty things we do and say every day and try to be good role models to our children and grand-children in fulfilling our progressive and productive promises..
