Time passed unknowingly; 2007 waved us goodbye. I think most of us left some regrets behind. However, having no intention to make any changes, they always choose to forget the past and welcome the new—this is us--human. An article caught my eye few days ago, right before my unplanned countdown for the new coming year. People make new year’s resolutions and promises to change in some way as the first of January marks not only a new calendar for them, but a new beginning. Back in 4000 B.C., Babylonians resolved to return something they borrowed from a friend. Whereas in about 150 B.C., Roman would choose to ask forgiveness from someone they had wronged. Look at us now, what our new year wishes are: to be healthier, wealthier, happier, and to be “more” than its origin. All those have indicated that we want a better life quality, but we set the target far too high to stay determined. One out of two between us breaks the promise no longer than two months; that is not so good to set a new-year aim which is hard to access. My new year aim is to do recycle whenever I finish my take-out meal. I am going to run an earth protector life as I hope to prevent the enhancement of global warming. As my reflection after Michael’s class is “to deal with global warming is a global start,” I start to think of the things around me which should be in electricity’s saving list. Should I put my fish back in the pond instead of keeping it in my aquarium which waste a certain watts of electricity a day? This is a small question but worth to figure overall. Because I think that if I really do that, the whole aquarium should have collapsed before my action. = =
