My New Year's Resolution

A few years down the line,
I had made a list of resolutions for the next year;
learning Chinese, learning how to swim, learning how to drive,
fighting fear of heights, fighting fear of crawling things......

Well, here I am today, with nothing to show for my effort;
I had made resolutions only on paper - resolutions were visible
only in ink.

I wonder whether another resolution will work for me......
