Everyone has a mental list of habits they would like to change, and the New Year seems like a perfect time to start. “New Year, new you” is a phrase you will see repeated in print. But this is just singsong rhetoric. Just because it sounds right to your ear does not mean that it contains any meaningful truth. The year will certainly change, but you will likely be the same person on Jan. 1, 2014, that you were on Dec. 31, 2013.

The statistics are bleak: only 8% of people who make New Year’s resolutions stick to them, and those who don’t usually abandon them after just one week. Unrealistic resolutions are fated to fail. And it is unrealistic to think that you can immediately overcome a habit you have spent years establishing. But is this necessarily harmful? There’s a good chance that it is. If your New Year’s resolution is to eat less, but you have no plan in place — or even if you do have a plan and you fail — you will do damage to your sense of self-worth. If you already have a complicated relationship with food, your likely coping mechanism for failure is eating more food. Thus the New Year’s resolution to eat less can actually result in your eating more. Ditto drinking, drug use, smoking, finding a mate, exercising, etc.

The practice of making resolutions itself dates back to ancient Babylon, who made promises to their gods for the New Year, often having to do with concrete, easily achievable tasks like vowing to return borrowed farm equipment. Now promises are made to ourselves and are primarily psychological in nature. With the threat of godly repercussion removed and more complex problems to solve, the odds of success are significantly reduced.

When you tie your behavioral change to a specific date, you rob yourself of an opportunity to fail and recover, to “fail better.” If you believe that you can only change on the New Year — the inherent message of New Year’s resolutions — you will have to wait a whole year before you get another shot.

Just the act of making a resolution can make you feel temporarily better, enough that it obviates further action. Steve Salerno, author of Sham: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless, says, “Do we all not know people who make the same resolutions year after year? Or maybe we are that person. My concern is that the resolution takes the place of the action, as is also true with so many millions of people who sign up for an endless succession of self-help programs: They think some magic words, some avowed promise, will magically transform their lives, when we all know that the real transformational work is tough, grueling, and usually involves sacrifice and unpleasant choices.”

A further danger is that an addiction or chronic problem can be transferred to the pursuit of self-help. Salerno explains, “We are a culture that is addicted to resolutions and affirmation and rosy rhetoric … and meanwhile nothing actually changes. The addiction to resolutions and affirmations replaces the original addiction or chronic problem.”

Here’s a better idea. Instead of listing an abstract goal like “lose weight,” think of specific small steps you can take, every day, that will have the same result. If you fail at any of these small steps — which you inevitably will — brush it off, and realize that failure and recovery is part of any process. Don’t tie your list to any specific date, and don’t wait a year to start again when you slip up. Or do as Puritan American theologian Jonathan Edwards did and compile a list of 70 resolutions, to be reviewed every week. (Preferably ones that include exceptions: “Resolved, never to speak evil of any, except that I have some particular good call for it.”) And if any of you have borrowed farm equipment this year, you’ve got an easy place to start.

I have taken the pain to go through every single comment here because this issue directly affect me.

2005, I was admitted into a polytechnic to begin a one-year PreND programme. with little or no orientation about what the polytechnic education stands for, but I wasn't ignorant of the fact that the Nigeria society frown against polytecnic education.

by september 2011, I graduated from the polytechic with and enviable result, yet I wasn't fulfilled. Immediately after my NYSC, I went back to the university to begin from 300L.

My observations so far;
1. Nigeria university curiculum is designed to be superior over that of the polytecnic

2. The polytechnic graduates and students know about the discrimination they face against their bsc counterparts, hence they tend to improve themselves personaly. (majorly in practical)

3. There are more intelligent students and lecturers in the universities but there are more determine students (maybe not lectures) in the polytechics

4. Infrastructures, grand allocations and scholarships favour the universities and as such require to be better than the polytechnics

5. The practical knowledge the polytecnic students boast of are usually not learnt in the four walls of the polytecnics but during IT and SIWES ( of course it is part of the programme)

6. The Nigeria universities have lost most of the strong points designed for it to be superior over the polytechnics but still claim the status squo probably because the polytecnics has also lost it uniqueness too

7. One of the strong point of the polytechnics when it comes to this type of arguement is that they spend at least 5years to bag an HND while the guys in uni spend at least 4years (depending on the course of study)

I can go on and on, but what I think?

I think that;
1. If HND is to remain what it is right now, it should be reduce to 3years, else, it should be upgraded to BTech

2. Just like china and other asian technological giants, we should embrace techinical education, the america and uk we are trying to emulate once were known to major on technical education.

3. The government and the society should encourage the young lads who are found to be technically inclined to go to technical schools and not to study medicine just because they are intelligent

4. Whereever u find your self dont be discourage or too proud. the school u are can only give u 20% of what u require. strife to make your self a better person.

this piece is strickly my opinion, and as such open to critism. pardon me if there is any typographical or grammatical error as i av no time to review what i typed. mainwhile get the message and leave the prints

It's Xmas TIME again. lets celebrate it the mathematical way

The ability to detect that this is a scam makes u deserve a real scholarship

I was associated with this miracle in nigeria called ui. anytime i enter my school, i cannot but wish that the colonial masters stayed a little longer. probably they would av replicated ui in other parts of the country. u dont need to attend the university of london. just come to her sister campus in nigeria called the university of ibadan.

70% should see the same first word

Durocityflicks: A bill to amend the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Act yesterday scaled through second reading in the House of Representatives, which seeks to extend the validity of JAMB result from its present one year to three academic years.
What this means is that if a Student sits for the UTME and makes a good results, the result should be Valid for a 3 year period, during which the student can still
use to pursue admission into Nigerian Higher
Institutions, without the need to register or re-take the examination.
Rep Ibrahim Ebbo (PDP, Niger), who sponsored the bill said Nigerians mostly the poor have been the highest in sitting for the yearly examinations, despite the increasing cost of purchasing the forms.
The law-maker cited the West African Examination Council (WAEC), the National Examination Council (NECO) as example whose validity extends into years.
The members voted unanimously for in favour of the passage of the bill. Deputy speaker, Emeka Ihedioha who presided over the sitting then referred the bill to the education committee for further legislative
duties.

nice development....but source is required pls

Digitron: The president refusal to personally signed the new agreement with ASUU has shown that even the new agreement is UNIMPLEMENTABLE.

Recently, the senate committee chairman on government establishment aloysius etuk, said that any agreement without the imput of national assembly will not work.

The Chairman of revenue and wages commission said that the agreement with ASUU is faulty.

How do u expect ASUU to just call off the strike?

this doesn't make sense. how can ASUU be demanding for 'unimplementable' agreement and still wants nas backup?
are these are the same people training the leaders of tomorrow?
we are really in trouble than we know it.
