你知道什么是决心吗？它是一种承诺。大多数时候，我们向其他人做出承诺（“妈妈，我保证我放学回家后会整理我的房间。”）。然而，你对自己做出的承诺就是决心，而最常见的一种是新年决心。一年的开始往往是下决心的时候。当我们在年初下定决心时，我们希望自己能改善我们的生活。有些人会写下他们的决心和来年的计划。这有助于他们记住自己的决心。另一些人会把他们的决心和计划告诉他们的家人和朋友。
决心有不同的种类。有些与身体健康有关。例如，有些人承诺他们将开始一项锻炼计划或少吃快餐。许多决心与自我提升有关。这些是关于让自己成为一个更好的人。有些人可能会说他们将培养一种爱好，比如绘画或摄影，或者学习弹吉他。有些决心与更好的规划有关，比如制定一份每周的学业计划。例如，一个学生可能必须找到更多的时间来学习。
尽管有不同的决心，但大多数决心有一个共同点。人们几乎从不坚持它们！这是有充分理由的。有时这些决心可能太难坚持了。有时人们只是忘记了它们。出于这个原因，有些人说最好的决心就是没有决心！你呢——明年你会下什么决心吗？
