Sir, – The start of a new year is a great opportunity to reflect on the past and set new goals for the future. Resolutions can help us focus on what we want to achieve and motivate us to take action. They can also provide a sense of accomplishment and boost our self-esteem. Research suggests that setting goals can lead to increased happiness and well-being. So, let’s embrace the start of 2024 with a positive mindset and set some achievable resolutions to make 2024 a great year.
