It's our one holiday where we celebrate the passage of time, which makes people stop and think: How do I want next year to be different than this year?

這是我們慶祝時間流逝的一個節日，它會讓我們停下下好好思考，新的一年與今年相比，我們會想要有什麼樣的突破？

Maybe you're feeling a little girthy, or a bit too lazy, or maybe this is the year you finally find that new job.

也許你感覺自己有點太胖，太過懶散，也或許這是你找到新工作的一年。

Regardless of what your New Year's resolution is we want to remind you, you will probably fail.

但不論你的新年決心是什麼，我們想要提醒你的是，你可能會失敗。

Yep, eighty percent of New Year's resolutions completely and utterly fail.

沒錯，在新年所下的決心，有百分之八十會徹底失敗。

That's because people don't understand the difference between a New Year's resolution and a New Year's plan.

那是因為人們並不瞭解新年決心和新年計畫有什麼不同。

You see resolutions can be made on a whim.

你隨時都可以下一個決心。

Your resolution will probably make you feel like crap for the first couple of weeks and without a plan to get yourself through you're destined to fail.

但過沒幾週你就會覺得自己的決心毫無用處，而且沒有計畫使得你注定會失敗。

A plan takes forethought.

計畫是需要深思熟慮的。

A plan means you're serious.

擁有計畫意味著你必須很慎重。

A plan breaks up your resolution in small achievable chunks and has many rewards along the way.

計畫能將你的決心切割成幾個容易達成的小目標，並且在達成最終目標前，你會因為完成這些小目標而感到滿足。

A plan is tracked in a journal and a plan recognizes that there's nothing magical about January 1st.

計畫是有時序的旅程，跟著計畫走，其實每年的第一天並沒有什麼神奇之處。

People who make plans are twice as likely to achieve their resolution.

只要有計畫，就有比只有決心的人多一倍的機率可以達到設定的目標。我們誠摰地希望大家都可以實現自己的計劃。

So we wish you a Happy New Year.

在此，祝福大家新年快樂。

May all your plans come true, from us to you.

我們對你的祝福：願你的所有計畫都能實現。
