So it's a New Year with new possibilities, new beginnings, new hopes and new dreams.

Here are a few funny quotations to get you into the mood. Wisdom from sages and insight from people who tell it how it is!

At the end, you'll get two things you must work on if you want to make this year better than the last!

James Agate
New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.

Eric Zorn
Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle.

Bill Vaughan
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

Charles Lamb
New Year's Day is every man's birthday.

Oprah Winfrey
Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.

Mark Twain
New Year's Day… now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.

Anonymous
Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits.

Joey Adams
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions!

Robert Paul
I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder, but still none the wiser.

G. K. Chesterton
Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

One thing is guaranteed in 2010:

Your fortunes will not change for the better unless you change for the better!

Working on yourself, your skills, your knowledge, your expertise should be your primary objective. When you get better, your world, your prospects, your outlook and your oportunities will do the same.

Also work on your relationships. As I have said many times in my seminars and talks:

"Everything you need in life, you have to go through somebody else to get it"

All of your business, all of your referrals, all of your strength, support and resources will come from other people.

YOUR RICHEST RESOURCES WILL ALWAYS BE IN YOUR RICHEST RELATIONSHIPS!

Have a great year!
