Did you resolve make more money, to lose weight, get a promotion
or to take the music industry by storm? Will your New Year's resolution become
a reality?
Here is a bit of bad news: The odds are stacked against you.
A few years ago, psychologist Richard Wiseman conducted a study of 3,000 people
who had set New Year's resolutions for themselves. At the end of the year, a
measly 12% had actually achieved their goals. Other studies show even lower percentages of success, with
most of the failures happening in the first month (January).
Why do you think so few people keep their resolutions?
