The first work on promising heavy interceptor with a long duration and flight speed, capable of hitting targets throughout the range of operating altitudes, began in the Mikoyan design bureau in the mid-1960s. The basis of future aircraft have the MiG-25. The future interceptor, according to the technical task, was to have a much longer duration of flight and an even greater rate. But at the level of technology to create a huge engine thrust required to achieve the speed of the order of M = 3, it was impossible. Therefore, the requirements of speed left at the level of the MiG-25. Meanwhile, the MiG-25 on its speed as officially conceded only one aircraft in aviation history – the American scout the SR-71.
Prospective interceptor was designated E-155MP. The work was done in several ways, although the basis for all design projects lay the MiG-25 interceptor was originally designed but the two local-with a crew of pilot and navigator-operator.
The full design of the E-155MP interceptor (”product 83″) began in 1972 under the leadership of chief designer R.A.Belyakova. In aircraft design the huge contribution made G.E.Lozino-Lozinski, K. Vasilchenko V.A.Arhipov, A.A.Belosvet.
Two prototype E-155MP were made to the Pilot Plant Design Bureau. A.Mikoyan. The first took off in the first prototype (board “831″), September 16, 1975 senior test pilot A.V. Fedotov. In May 1976, LII airfield in Zhukovsky running a test pilot P.M. Ostapenko took to the skies the second prototype. April 4, 1984 during flight testing the prototype with the tail number “201″ broke the test pilot
A. Fedotov and co-driver’s test B. C. Zaitsev. But the tests were continued by test pilots, V.E. Menitsky, and B.A.Orlovym A.G.Fastovetsem. The program state tests was officially completed in autumn 1980. Aviation Complex MiG-31 radar with a “curtain” adopted for the air defense fighter aircraft of the country in 1981.

Motivation is a very important topic; we can bring a positive and meaningful change in our life by understanding it fully. Let’s examine what is Motivation? What is its importance in our lives? What is the relation of motivation with success? Which factors are essential for elevating motivation and what are the factors that reduce or kill motivation?

In simple words, motivation is a name of “energy” or “power” that enables a person following his targets with full heart and soul. In the presence of Motivation the journey of a person keeps on moving ahead automatically and a person completes the most difficult tasks happily and easily. Will power and motivation are the essential ingredients for success.

It is the same power that pushes a worshipper leaving his warm bed in the severe cold for worshipping, convinces any soldier performing his duty in unfavorable conditions in a desert. It is a strange power that uplifts a person for converting impossible tasks into possible ones and it its absence the easiest task seems impossible.

In respect of motivation different experts have put their ideas in front of the world, all are important in their places, but the idea that received the most popularity was presented by American Professor Abraham Mosley in 1943. In this Article we will examine his idea thoroughly/in detail, understanding which we will be able getting the answer of the question, “What are those factors that affect motivation?”

The Abraham Mosley’s idea about Motivation cleared on the world that there are five types of human necessities in life, which on step by step completion elevates motivation in human and in case of non completion of these requirements, motivation starts declining. It must be cared much that the order of these requirements are very important because their order is set as per their importance. The human needs according to Professor Abraham Mosley are:

1- Physiological Needs

Physical needs are the foremost needs of human life, without which it is not possible keeping alive. These needs include food, shelter and cloth. With the civilization progress there are many other needs in the modern age that can be included in the category of physical needs as per our standards of living.

2- Security Needs

After fulfilling the physical needs, security needs are important. Who is not aware of the importance of security needs? A person cannot focus in the presence of insecure feelings and remained overwhelmed in variety of doubts. Possible fears about future keep him worried all the time.

Every person feels the necessity that his life and wealth would have no fears at all. He should have security in wealth and social affairs. The better condition of law and order, justice in the country, reliable punishment and reward system, conduct of merit in the society, arrangement of safety from accidents and health fulfills the human security needs.

3. Love and Belonging Needs

After fulfilling the health and security needs love and belonging needs are important. We all know that human is a social animal. He possesses the natural desire of giving and receiving love. Due to this need he makes friends, grows family and searches his life partner, all these things help him creating emotional bonding with others. These relations can both be sexual or non-sexual. It is also in his instinct that he wants to be a part of group whether religious, political or social.

Doing all this fulfills his requirement of love and relation. If his requirement of love is not fulfilled fully he feels himself lonely and the extreme feeling of loneliness can create depression in him. The most important aspect of this need is that in case of non-fulfillment, a person may also lose interest in the fulfillment of physical and security needs. You might have seen many people who leave eating food, leave there houses and sometimes leave their lives as well, in case they fail in getting love or face separation from their loving personality,

4. Esteem Needs

Every person has a natural need that he must be respected. He desires that other people admire his qualities and abilities present in his personality, he receives acceptance everywhere and he must be seen as respectable. In order to fulfilling this need people associate themselves with different activities and hobbies which creates a sense of contribution in him and the need of self-esteem fulfills.

If this need is not fulfilled to a considerable extent, his self-esteem gets affected and in some cases he can become a victim of inferiority complex. The more the people have low self esteem, the more they need admiration and respect from others. Such people are more inclined getting popularity and dignity, because in this way they get more respect and honor from people.

The interesting thing in this respect is that the people with low self-esteem do not get satisfaction even by the getting respect and honor externally rather the improvement process starts only when they recover their self-esteem internally. The depression cases are more critical. Such people cannot show any extraordinary performances due to their mental condition, and hence, neither considered deserving of any respect or admiration nor succeed internally recovering their low self-esteem.

5. Self Actualizing Needs

Among Abraham Mosley’s idea of needs this is the last one. The relation of this need is with the desire that if someone is using his full potential or not. It is the name of the desire by which a person wants to achieve every possible thing in life. This is an exemplary situation.

It can also be described as the growth process has not stopped in a person but is still going on with the time. The needs of self actualizing can be different in different people. Some people satisfy their desire of self actualizing by putting their energies in painting, photography, poetry and inventions.

Understanding the above mentioned details you would have guessed that these cover almost every aspect of our needs in life. There is no easy or short way keeping you motivated all the time but it is worth taking care of all these necessities in an orderly way as stated above.

Only financial stability and progress is not a guarantee of happy life but a human personality is a combination of variety of needs and every need has its own importance. All these requirements are entire reality and demand their fulfillment. Ignoring any one of these can only create a long term complexities in any one.

We often indulge in a mistake of using all of our energies, abilities and time for fulfilling any one of the above mentioned needs, while ignoring other needs of our personality. As a result, in due course of time, our motivation starts declining and ultimately we come across a mental condition where we feel lack of motivation.

The only way of dealing this situation is that we shall examine our life style and priorities carefully and evaluate the following:

To what extent can we fulfill these needs?

Where are we making mistake?

What important aspects of our life demand our attention and time?

After fulfilling all these requirements considerably, a person becomes capable of passing a complete, fulfilled, happy and satisfied life and develops an unlimited providence of energy that enables him achieving any target in life without much difficulty.

I can still see, in my minds eye, that utterly compelling and unbelievable moments when those two planes hit the towers, a shudder running down my spine at the utterly incomprehensible reality of 19 Muslim fanatics willing to give their lives in this way.  None who planned this audacious, never-to-be-repeated act of monstrous terrorism could ever have envisaged the collapse of the trade center, or the loss of almost 3,000 lives.

Bin Laden and the other terrorist leaders around the world must have been orgasmic with delight at the devastation which changed the world forever, demonsrating graphically just how vulnerable the mighty USA actually was. The rest of the world was shocked to the core – strange that this attack was very close to that 1776 day when the New World Colonies became the United States – and life would never be the same again for anybody.

So even though I feel a great deal of satisfaction at what I have managed to achieve with only a third of the month gone, I am mindful that there are far more weighty issues to be contended with on this momentous anniversary weekend. How can, how could anyone ever forget the courage and selflessness of the police and fire-fighters, hundreds of whom perished that day trying to save others, or the absolute incomprehension of the suddenness of the tower collapses?

Even though I have myself seen military service, and understand what bravery is in the face of almost certain death, it seems almost impossible to praise enough those men and women who obviously never once thought of themselves, as they worked hard at rescue. Every time I write something these days that reminds me of that awful day, I get a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye at the utter pointlessness of it all.

The celebrations of my writing success are, of necessity, fairly muted this weekend, though I will be drinking a bottle of wine as I sit down to enjoy the Last Night of the proms tonight on the BBC, but I will be toasting several things, not least of which will be the memory of the day that three thousand unfortunate people became victims of a fanaticism that none truly understand or condone.

The recent UK riots were another example of the mindlessness that seems endemic in this over-taxed, over-populated and over-burdened world in which we live, and I personally am worried.  Society has taken a turn, through social media, in a direction that could prove disastrous for us all in the end, as respect for law and order disappears to be replaced by rampant anarchy, and I fear that future generations will suffer for it.

At least I have the consolation of being able to make social commentary, and perhaps a small difference through my writing, which i will be still be wanting to do on my deathbed. There is a whole world of reasons for me personally to raise a glass this weekend, and  you should all join me, not only in toasting my writing  successes, but lest we forget those who deserve to be remembered.

Once you have those positive thoughts in your mind you must now take some time to think about the top ten things you would like to achieve in your life, for example;

earning $1 million a year instead of your current salary;

re-painting the house;

installing new tiles in the bathroom or kitchen;

passing your exams, hopefully you get the idea now.

Just jot down the first things that come into your mind, once you have done that choose 3 that you would like done as soon as possible, now you must visualize them, and believe that they can be done, easily.

Everyday, think of these three things, tell yourself that they CAN be achieved and that the universe will just gift you these three things wrapped up and with a bow on top.

If you visualize your goals everyday and believe that you can achieve these goals then your sub-conscious mind will get used to you doing this and will start doing it naturally. The goals will soon become a reality as long as you do NOT give up.

You may be wondering ‘how’ you will achieve these three goals but just for now let go of the ‘how’ and just believe in yourself and it will be done. You may also be thinking ‘when’ will these goals be achieved, we all want what we want as soon as possible right? Don’t worry about this, if you believe in yourself and trust in god and the universe your goals will be achieved, quickly.

Note: This is important to have successful planning; we all need to have three types of lists. These lists are as follows:

1.      The number one List; – This list should contain what we would like to accomplish in life. This List should have specific things rather than general things. For example, studying for a master’s degree, a nice vacation or a trip to the Bahamas and so forth.

2.      List number two Lists; – In this list is one about specific things we would want to do in the next year in order to move toward your lifetime goals.

3.      List number three Lists; – This list is one that should have things that should be accomplished soon. For example, next month or the coming month after next month.

Nevertheless, after coming up with your Magic Lists.  As a clever way we should check them to see whether they are specific, achievable and whether we want them consciously. Success takes time and thousands of small steps such as this one will lead us having success and I mean tremendously when combined with setting or the listing of goals.

On our way to achieving the goals, sometimes events which were not expected will slow us down. Our goals should be as flexible an ever meaning that they can easily adapt to the changing scenarios. The best side of these distractions that come unexpected is people who were setting these goals often discover new things which they were not expecting at all.

Conclusion

Finally, expected or unexpected distractions, success, prosperity, happiness and achievements do come to those who set goals and work towards them diligently. The greatest asset is focusing your physical and mental resources to that goal. When they are focused we get the power to solve problems easily and fast.

Its not just NLP, there seems to be glut of people everywhere giving advice on how to be “successful”. Goal Setting, “get outsides comfort zones”, The Secret, positive thinking, science of getting rich, Tony Robbins, Scientology, thousands of websites, thousands of people who purport to have answer on how to life your life.

There seems to be an entire creepy culture of people out there using this type of material in the workplace, and in their lives which tends to revolve around goal setting.

Bottom line is none of this type of Self Improvement material actually gets down to the nitty gritty, or any level of detail on real people lives, it teaches people to stick rigidly to goals, miss opportunities in their lives and stay in there place. Self improvement material is for the simpleminded.

It prevents people from thinking naturally, doing what they enjoy, being a real person, encourages them to set goals which waste there time and act with a fake personality- You’ll find the most enthusiastic Self improver’s, NLP types are generally very self obsessed, mediocre, unhappy people.

My point is these people read this stuff, and talk and talk – but ultimately don’t achieve anything more than they would achieve with there own commonsense- in fact achieve less because they waste time and alienate people around them.

Is there any genuine examples where any self improvement material has worked? I mean real world – PLEASE no self improvement jargon. I am talking about genuine achievements – doing some which very very difficult – no crap like it helped me exercise 3 times a week or quit smoking, or get to work earlier.

As I read I could not help noticing the similarities between the Third Reich and new Labour. I know that sounds crazy because Tony Blair is not Adolf Hitler and the Labour Government wasn’t vicious, cruel and anti-Semitic.

The similarities arise from the methods used to fundamentally change the nature of society and reconstruct consciousness. In other words the government sought to make the citizens they wanted. Changing how people are allowed to behave does this and in changing how they behave you change the way they think. The generation coming up grows up with the new status quo. They become the citizens the government wants. In the same way Protestantism under Elizabeth did not properly take root until those that remembered and mourned the old religion had mostly died out.

To begin with the government breaks down old certainties. What the Labour party stood for was thrown aside by New Labour. They did not build social housing; they allowed a property boom instead. This property boom provided the cash from borrowed money to give a sense of material well being for the majority such that unfairnesses and inequalities were not noticed. They built up a huge client state on welfare and even people on incomes of fifty thousand pounds could still be eligible for some benefits. They reneged on giving the country a chance to vote on the relationship between the UK with the EU and incorporated strangely drafted human rights legislation, giving it precedence over our common sense common law and which quickly became a weapon in the hands of criminals, prisoners, and terrorists to use against the law abiding and peaceful population. The police became politicised in the sense that they saw themselves as agents of social change instead of upholders of the law. Many people came to feel that the rights of the criminal were more important to the Police and Judiciary than the rights of their victims. Self-defence, or retaliation, or any physical response by the victim turned the victim into a criminal and the criminal into a victim.

Germans under the Nazis understood the implicit messages of their government’s explicit utterances and as such began to self censor what they said to each other. They also censored others who failed to censor themselves. They over censored.

If a resident of a block did not display a Nazi flag from his window, neighbours would go in and put one up for him. The equivalent nowadays is if a parent photographs his children at a school function other parents complain and try and stop him. Under New Labour some officials try and stop the display of the Union Jack, or the Cross of St George on public buildings. They also try and remove bibles and biblical mottos from public areas because of a misguided notion of multiculturalism. Hospitals close chapels. Soon people would question their right to publicly support Christianity.

The German population were in no doubt as to the intentions of their government and by and large it suited them to go along with those intentions. There was no such certainty here in Britain. We had ludicrous situations where anything Christian whether the written text, or a symbol or icon was removed from public building in case it offended other religions. These choices were not made by members of the other religions but by people uncertain as to the status of their own culture in New Labour Britain and fearful of censure.

New Labour with its policies helped to reinforce a belief that all cultures should be given equal status regardless of the ethics of those cultures including even cultures that were the antithesis of Labour values. Not only that but they made laws that made people not just feel that they must be tolerant of difference but that they should approve of it regardless of their ethical, moral or religious viewpoint.

Thus petty officials, do-gooders, and those with limited capacity to think deeply began an attack on their own culture. All sense of proportion was lost.

Freedom of speech came under attack. People began to be afraid to speak out loud any criticism of other religions or cultures or even immigration.

Councils decided that even if someone had fetched up in the country just the day before they were entitled to jump the queue for housing and other benefits. Some Councils even employed immigrants to operate their housing service thus ensuring that preference was given to other immigrants.

The sense of unfairness grew stronger and stronger but people felt unable to speak out because the moment they did they were called racist. Any criticism of an immigrant was not seen within its context as to whether it was just or unjust- it was automatically taken as unjust.

The alienation of the bedrock of Labour support eventually contributed to their loss of a governing majority.

Young people were fed constant propaganda about racism and other religions and other cultures and young whites began to say things like “I’m British- I don’t have a culture”. Black children had a black history month in schools. White children were encouraged to think of themselves as descendents of people who enslaved others and were inherently racist because they were white. Again this happened because the usual army of do-gooders and petty officials made it compulsory to check what people were saying and doing and pushed out an unbalanced argument.

The whole thirteen years was characterised by increased surveillance by cameras and the change in the law so that petty officials could spy on citizens. We grew a complement of informers, spies and bullies just like the Third Reich

Councils began to expand their workforce to include Equality and Diversity officers, like the Nazis who had a party member on every board of a major company or public service. Quality officers, Inclusion officers, each new initiative had to have it’s own chief and middle rankers and support staff- the wage bill spiralled. With nothing really to do these new departments began to find things to do, or rather things for other people to have to do. Like the party members under Hitler those committed to the dogma received preferential treatment.

The slightest wrong word and someone would complain

 The interpretation of Laws has been a nightmare. Ordinary people in workplaces, and in local government offices have fundamentally changed Britain. Health and Safety rules are not applied with common sense and what is reasonable behaviour, but on the premise that if something can go wrong- it will go wrong and therefore the activity is banned. The laws created risk adverse behaviour such that police and paramedics would stand by while someone continued in danger because they could be disciplined for disobeying guidelines. The government allowed lawyers to “ambulance chase” thus creating a climate where employers and local government would do nothing that could remotely create the conditions for an accident. So simple things like “playing conkers” were banned in schools. Guidelines were so broad that any possible risk, no matter how trivial, was enough to stop the activity.

Criminals found that victims had less rights than they did. You could be tormented and have property vandalised by a group of children, but take hold of their arm, shout and swear at them, and you will be arrested while the awful offence goes unpunished. Notice how in Britain that as corporal punishment in schools and physical punishment by parents has declined violence on the streets by children on each other and on adults as well has grown in direct proportion.

People began to disrespect the law – people believed that the police and the law were on the side of criminals.

Immigrants were not required to change their way of life. Councils, police were obliged to pay for interpreters at every turn. Documents had to be prepared in a multitude of languages. Some groups were encouraged to live in Ghettos – notably the Pakistani community. This has not been good for them, and many have not assimilated. Multiculturalism has become a form of separate development – apartheid.

The target culture created possibilities for cheating and fiddling of statistics. Every aspect of life seemed to have Quangos set up with legions of officials and senior management on inflated salaries interfering in people’s lives.

Targets were not met- so they were reset.

After a while reality had nothing to do with the statistics. It did not matter about quality or the worth or value of what had been achieved as long as it could be labelled a success. Thus school examinations became easier and easier to pass so that the government could trumpet their success. This is propaganda like the worst of the old Soviets, the Nazis and any totalitarian regime.

Britain grew more and more boorish. With the advent of 24 hour drinking, online gambling, the huge centralising shifts that removed a sense of personal responsibility the character of the British changed.

Working your way through a list of set goals gives a great sense of satisfaction. You must set a completion date – a goal without deadlines is not a goal.

GOALS provide a means by which structure is brought to ideas and potential is turned into action.

Targets challenge and stretch people to and provide a great sense of achievement when met. Firstly, construct your long term goals chart. Break the long term goals into realistic intermediate goals for each exam block. Adjust targets as you get your exam results.

You need to set realistic daily or weekly goals to help you work towards your targets. Your main daily goal will be to complete your study timetable.

You should set specific tasks for the day in your “Goals Notebook”. Keep the top half of each page for academic tasks and the bottom half for all the other things you could do to help you to improve.

the idea of attraction says that if you send out positive thoughts and desires, you would get them. If on the contrary, you send out negative thoughts and desires, you would also get them.

The following steps would help you get what you want:

1. You Must State What You Desire.

Whatever you want out of life can be gotten, when you desire exactly what you want in this life. when your desires are clear defined, you can then be able to magnetize them to yourself.

You must be specific concerning what you want. Do you want to become a billionaire, an internet guru, a professor, etc. again, be specific.

2. Meditate On Your Desires.

You should spend adequate time meditating,thinking, and dreaming of what you want. Through this means, you would see yourself getting what you want.

3. You Must Put Doubts And Negative Thoughts Behind You.

Doubts and negative thoughts would bring about fear, and you become incapacitated. Doubts would cause you to say, it would not work, or I can not. Doubts and negative thought would cause you to speak negative words, thereby attracting to yourself failure and defeat. You must be positive, to be able to attract you positive desires.

4. Act As If You Already Have What You Want.

When you believe or have faith that what you are expecting would come to pass, they would come to pass. Think positive and act positive.

5. Put Down Your Desires In Black And White.

Let those goals or desires of yours be penned down. Writing them down would enable you to constantly see them, and feel them. They become very real to you.

You must read them often, read them aloud, and repeat these processes often and often. Say to yourself, I am able, I would get what I want. When you do these things, you would begin to attract your desires to you.

6. Enlarge Your Coast And Spread Your Goals.

Do not think so little about life and what you want to get from it. Embrace every aspect of your life when trying to attract what you want to yourself. Visualize your entire life, enlarge your coast, and set goals in all aspect of your life.

Ask yourself, what your ideal wife, husband, job, children, personality,finance, love, family, faith,etc, should be. Get a mental picture of your entire life. Doing these things would help you to get what you want.

7. Let Excitement Attract Your Desires.

When you are excited about life, or about the things you want that shall come into being, you open the door for them to flow in.

What you see is what you get. What you envision, is what you your vision would bring to you.
Go on and get what you want.

Many of you may be under the wrong impression that making a New Year Resolution means something like entering into a new contract. It is not so. In fact, the meaning of making a New Year Resolution is resolving or making up your mind to do something tangible and concrete in the forthcoming year.Therefore, you have to necessarily have some clear cut goals and objectives before making a New Year Resolution.

However, before making a New Year Resolution, you have got some pertinent questions:-

1) Why should you make a New Year Resolution?

2) What are the prerequisites for making a New Year Resolution?

3) What are the guiding factors that you have to bear in mind before making a New Year Resolution?

If you answer the above questions in clear cut terms, you are right on target.

1).As you grow from your childhood, you come across many stages in your personal life like childhood, teenage, manhood, fatherhood or motherhood and you have many other roles to play in each stage of your personal life. Your relationship with third parties at various stages of your life is mostly determined by your educational and business considerations. Hence, as you grow and move into another stage of your life, you encounter new problems with added responsibilities. As you grow in age, you have gained weight and suffer from obesity; have complaints like diabetes, hypertension and some other peculiar ailments like hair fall and becoming bald; become addicted to porn, smoke and liquor etc

You are a teen but you have some problems with dating; you have suffered from a string of love failures. As a student, you have some difficulties in your studies and repeatedly failing in a subject; as a businessman, you have not reached your target and your progress in business has been very slow and it is in a snail’s phase; you are achieving your targets in business so quickly and now you are in a dilemma, how to sustain your success in business steadily and go ahead. Hence, whether it is your personal life or business, you have to necessarily define your role in each stage of your life for which self-analysis is a must. When you embark upon into this process of self-analysis, naturally the process of making a New Year Resolution provides you a golden opportunity to assess your personal as well as external life, your merits and demerits, your strengths and weaknesses, your successes and failures etc.

To put it simply, you have to necessarily make a New Year Resolution so as to periodically check up yourself, to subject yourself to a litmus test so as to find out where you stand in your life and how to get rid of from some of the vicious circles that you have unwittingly entangled into. It is just like periodically removing the dust from your computer table, cleaning your stable or removing the rust that has gathered in the ongoing process of your life. If you do not engage in self-analysis of yourself or your business periodically, you may very soon reach a point of no return. Therefore you have to necessarily make a New Year Resolution.

2) You have decided to make a New Year Resolution. Before beginning the process, you require some prerequisites. If the New Resolution is pertaining to your personal life, say reducing your weight or controlling your diabetes or getting yourself relieved from your addiction to smoking or liquor; or if the New Year Resolution is pertaining to your business, you have to gather all the details and keep them at your finger tips for analysis before beginning the process of making a New Year Resolution. You should have a clear vision, planning and clear-cut targets before making a New Year Resolution. Otherwise, you may not achieve your target and get the desired results; above all the purpose of making a New Year Resolution may go waste and you may even miserably fail in your personal as well as in your business life.

3) You have gathered all details before making a New Year Resolution. You have also begun the process. However, there are certain guiding factors that you should necessarily follow before making a New Year Resolution.

1) You should bear in mind that your targets are meant to be achieved in a year; so your targets should take into account your personal factors like age, your educational qualification, your capacity to achieve the target, your past achievements or the targets you achieved in the past. To put it simply, you should set your targets that are feasible, small and achievable within the given time limit and in tune with the realities.

2) Your personal targets like reducing your weight, securing high marks in a subject, achieving success in your love etc depends upon your sincere efforts, sustained hard work that you put in to achieve your targets;

3) Your targets in business should also be fixed reasonably that are feasible and achievable and in tune with your realities; but you should also bear in mind unlike the personal targets mentioned above, the business targets that you fix depend upon your personal factors like your level of education, your capacity for hard work etc and the external factors like the Government support, competition in your business, economic factors like demand and supply and availability of capital and raw materials etc.Taking all these factors into account, you should fix a reasonable target.

4) It is equally important to note down whether the targets fixed in the previous year were achieved; if the targets had been achieved it is safe to follow the same guiding factors for the forthcoming year also besides fixing the same target. If you set a higher target, you need to put in more efforts, besides concentrating on other factors accordingly. If the target fixed in the previous year was not achieved, you have to take into account those factors which hampered the progress of your project and fix a reasonable target for the forthcoming year.

Thus before making a New Year Resolution, you have to take all the above factors into account to have fruitful results, lest it will be only a meaningless formality.
