It&#8217;s just another day.  Everyone thinks, like <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">when the clock strikes midnight, you&#8217;ve suddenly  entered a new chapter in your life, but it&#8217;s nothing like that, you  know<\/span>? You still have the same bills to pay, you still go to the same  job. You still have to look at the same you in the mirror. Life isn&#8217;t  made of nice neat little chapters. Not really. It&#8217;s like, if you believe  in it, new year&#8217;s day is the greatest letdown in the history of  letdowns.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Today marks the last day of the Chinese New Year season. Has your new life arrived in this new year yet? What Scott said is right &#8211; if we expect new year&#8217;s day to bring miraculous changes after a string of hard celebrations &#8211; without any relevant effort. Days don&#8217;t let us down &#8211; we let our days down. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">What we need is not a change of time or year but a change of mind to change our lives. <\/span>Time for resolutions again.. with real action this time!
