A New Year’s resolution is a commitment for 2011


A New Year’s resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year’s Day. Some examples include resolutions to donate to the poor more often, to become more assertive, or to become more environmentally responsible.There are religious parallels to this secular tradition. People may act similarly during the Christian fasting period of Lent, though the motive behind this holiday is more of sacrifice than of responsibility. During Judaism’s New Year, Rosh Hashanah, through the High Holidays and culminating in Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), one is to reflect upon one’s wrongdoings over the year and both seek and offer forgiveness. The concept, regardless of creed, is to reflect upon self-improvement annually.
Popular goals include resolutions to:Improve health: lose weight, exercise more, eat better, drink less alcohol, quit smokingImprove finances: get out of debt, save moneyImprove career: get a better jobImprove education: improve grades, get a better education, learn something new (such as a foreign language or music)Improve self: become more organized, reduce stress, be less grumpy, manage time, be more independentTake a tripQuit smokingVolunteer to help others
Tradition dictates that every 365 days, you should try to kick bad habits and start your life anew. So sit down with a cup of coffee, a paper and a pen, and reflect: What kinds of New Years Resolutions will you make for yourself this January 1st?
Important:
1.Be realistic by setting achievable goals. Winning the lottery, for example, is out of your grasp.
2.Describe your resolutions in specific terms. Instead of “I don’t want to be lazy,” opt for “I want to exercise regularly” or “I will cut down on my television watching.”
3.Break down large goals into smaller ones. For instance, commit to losing weight by resolving to join a gym and improve your eating habits.
4.Find alternatives to a behavior that you want to change, and make this part of your resolution plan. So you want to quit smoking but you smoked to relax yourself? What other forms of relaxation are available to you?
5. Above all, aim for things that are truly important to you, not what you think you ought to do or what others expect of you.
Top 10 Frequent New Year’s Resolutions
1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends -to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Make plans to meet up with friends for an evening of comaraderie, a simple gathering will do.
2.Fit in Fitness- Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better. Why not make this the time to start getting in shape .
3.Tame the Bulge- Setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors in sticking with a weight loss program, and the key to success for those millions of Filipinos who made a New Year’s commitment to shed extra pounds.
4.Quit Smoking- If you have resolved to make this the year that you stamp out your smoking habit, over-the-counter availability of nicotine replacement therapy now provides easier access to proven quit-smoking aids. Even if you’ve tried to quit before and failed, don’t let it get you down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good. Start enjoying the rest of your smoke-free life!
5.Enjoy Life More-Given the hectic, stressful lifestyles of millions of Filipinos, it is no wonder that “enjoying life more” has become a popular resolution in recent years. It’s an important step to a happier and healthier you!
6.Quit Drinking- While many people use the New Year as an incentive to finally stop drinking, most are not equipped to make such a drastic lifestyle change all at once. Many heavy drinkers fail to quit cold turkey but do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate their drinking.
7.Get Out of Debt- Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Join the millions of Filipinos who have resolved to spend this year getting a handle on their finances. It’s a promise that will repay itself many times over in the year ahead.
8. Learn Something New- Have you vowed to make this year the year to learn something new? Perhaps you are considering a career change, want to learn a new language, or just how to fix your computer? Whether you take a course or read a book, you’ll find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Year’s resolutions to keep.
9. Help Others- A popular, non-selfish New Year’s resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. Whether you choose to spend time helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, or building a house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use your help.
10. Get Organized- On just about every New Year resolution top ten list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. Whether you want your home organized enough that you can invite someone over on a whim, or your office organized enough that you can find the stapler when you need it, these tips and resources should get you started on the way to a more organized life.

DOTC gives out hotline number for commuters vs abusive cab drivers

Harassed by choosy and abusive taxi drivers? Call 7890 or text 0918-8848484.

This was the message of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) as it activated its hotline and text number to receive such complaints from commuters.

Radio dzBB reported Monday that DOTC spokesman Undersecretary Dante Velasco said they have been receiving such complaints every year.

Velasco said many of the complaints involve cabbies who refuse to accommodate passengers whose destinations are out of the cabbies' preferred routes.

The other complaints involved cabbies who force their passengers to agree to a pre-arranged fare.

Velasco stressed the DOTC will enforce strict measures against cabbies who engage in such practices, the report said.

Public utility vehicles such as taxis, jeeps and buses are in high demand during the Christmas shopping season. – VVP, GMANews.TV

Obra-Negosyo-Eskwela Countryside Enterprise Business Upliftment (ONE CEBU)

It has always been the advocacy of the Chamber to promote entrepreneurship especially among the younger generation whom we see as the future business capitalists of the country.

This year, as innovation to the third My Business Idol, MCCI collaborated with the Provincial Government of Cebu and the Commission on Higher Education Region 7 for the project, “OBRA NEGOSYO ESKWELA” where the ten participating Business Administration and Management schools of the My Business Idol will be linked with LGU-nominated country-side entrepreneurs to provide technical assistance and mentorship for the implementation of the business plans.



Obra-Negosyo-Eskwela Countryside Enterprise Business Upliftment (ONE CEBU): A Collaboration of the Province of Cebu MSME Council-Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry - Participating Universities and Colleges.

What is this program about?

The ONE CEBU is a collaboration of Province of Cebu MSME Council (PC
MSMEC), the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) and some
participating Cebu-based Universities and Colleges offering business and
management courses. The overarching goal of the program is the development
of Province of Cebu countryside micro and small enterprises.

What are the objectives of this program?

The partnership is primarily aimed at partnering selected existing country-side
micro and small enterprises of the Province of Cebu with students from the
different participating Cebu-based Universities and Colleges offering business
and management courses in order for the entrepreneurs to be assisted by the
students in planning and organizing the enterprises’ operations and processes,
marketing and financial concerns, among others.

What is the significance of this program?

The Philippine government promotes entrepreneurship as embodied in RA 9501,
otherwise known as the "Magna Carta for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
(MSMEs). In its declaration of policy, the law articulates that the “State shall
recognize the specific needs of the MSMEs and shall undertake to promote
entrepreneurship, support entrepreneurs, encourage the establishments of
MSMEs and ensure their continuing viability and growth and thereby attain
countryside industrialization . . . “

The discipline of entrepreneurship as a subject or a degree is offered by
universities and colleges offering business and management courses. Most of
these courses complement the classroom learning method with the “practicum”
or the “on-the-job” experience which allow students the opportunities to be
immersed and to observe real world business operations.

Encouraging country-side entrepreneurship is one of the major thrusts of the
current administration of the Province of Cebu. Similarly, the Mandaue Chamber
of Commerce and Industry has one of its corporate social responsibility projects
extensding assistance to micro and small entrepreneurs.

The partnerships between the various participating universities and the selected
countryside entrepreneurs are seen to be benefit all parties since the students
will be exposed to, and allowed to act as consultants to the partner-entrepreneurs
and in the process learn from the interaction with the entrepreneurs. Likewise
the entrepreneurs enjoy the assistance of the students, and indirectly the
assistance from the students’ mentors and faculty.

The schools-enterprise partnerships shall likewise profit from the technical
assistance and support from the Province of Cebu MSME Council and the
Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry, these organizations being the
project administrators.

Who administers the program?

The PC MSMEC and MCCI serve as program administrators, providing directions
and advice when needed, monitoring and documenting the progress of the
partnerships, and acting as conduit for any forms of assistance (financial or
otherwise) from the Province of Cebu and/or Mandaue Chamber of Commerce
and Industry and other donors.

The PC MSMEC has a working committee who takes charge of the project
operations such as preparing the program of activities, selecting the
entrepreneurs, partnering these entrepreneurs with the participating schools,
providing the needed logistical and technical support from the PC MSMEC,
ensuring the on-time operations of the activities and the delivery of the expected
outputs and documentation.
