'How to lose friends in the New Year' by K.J.S.Chatrath

Now that New Year is just round the corner, some friends are going to flood the internet with 'Motivational Quotes' and 'New Year Resolutions'....Bah!

I would love to know the views of my FB friends, and not the views of say Paulo Coelho..

Any day is as good as another for starting to improve one's life style...So let us not get into the 'My New Year Resolution is...' crap!
