So, check this out, from the article….

Men were 22% more likely to succeed when they set goals for themselves, such as losing a pound a week rather than just saying they wanted to lose weight.

Telling others increased women’s chance of keeping resolutions by 10%.

They benefited from family and friends encouraging them to stick to their goals.

Professor Wiseman said it was possible to increase the likelihood you will keep your resolution.

“Deciding to revisit a past resolution sets you up for frustration and disappointment.

“Choose something new, or approach an old problem in a new way.

“Think through exactly what you will do, where you will do it, and at what time.”

He said those who made vague plans were more likely to fail – for example instead of planning to go running twice a week you should plan to go running at specific times every week.

So, I got an “application” question for you. That’s GED-speak, see? It means you take some information and apply it to something else… you gotta do that for the GED, figure out how one kind of information can fit into a new situation. And I got a GED application question about the GED! Here goes:

Dwayne’s New Year’s resolution is to get his GED, but that was his resolution last year, too. According to the study, the best statement of Dwayne’s GED resolution is:

1) Dwayne should not make a statement of his resolution.

2) “My New Year’s resolution is to pass the GED test.”

3) “My New Year’s resolution is to approach the GED test in a new way.”

4) “My New Year’s resolution is to study 1 hour a day and learn one GED subject each month.”

5) “My New Year’s resolution is to tell everyone I will pass the GED this year.”

So, which resolution will help me get my GED? What’d'ya think? And how ’bout you? Do you have a GED resolution?!?!

Anyway, like, I live with my bro, Jesse. But he gets kinda worried about me, cuz I don’t got a real job or nothin’… So, I started taking these GED classes, you know, to get a diploma and get a real job or something. Don’t know what that would be…

So I started this blog to talk about GED stuff, and some alien conspiracy stuff, maybe, and pizza. And, hey, write me all your comments and questions, cuz now I’m so smart from takin’ them GED classes from passged.com.
