New Year Resolutions

1. Although we don't always carry out our New Year resolutions, we must still make them. It is a sign of hope that tomorrow can be better than today, that we can improve ourselves. In the last few weeks, I have been talking to my wife and kids about our individual resolutions. It is important to encourage one another.

2. I remember the prayer that we should change what we can, accept what we cannot and have the wisdom to know the difference. You can't turn this into a computer algorithm. Wisdom is what makes us human and spiritual.

3. Last week, my wife and I visited a friend who is stricken with advanced cancer. She was in pain but serene, not giving up on the chance of a cure, but willing to accept whatever may happen. We prayed for her and prayed for ourselves.

4. Last year was a busy year for me. There is so much to do, so much that can be done, but never enough time to do them all. I've resolved to be a better husband, father, colleague, friend, minister, MP, ... Don't laugh. Cheer me on and I'll cheer you on.

Glad to hear that you resolved to be a better MP. Try to stay away from those yes-men among your grassroot leaders and randomly walk the ground unescorted, you may just meet some real Singaporeans with ideas and suggestions that's more provoking that Gayle.

no disrespect mr yeo, but here's a little stylistic tip that will help you better engage with people in general, which is the purpose of you blogging. please drop the annoying civil service habit of numbering your paragraphs.

beyond that i must commend your blogging attempts and i hope to see more from you.
