The hard truth: 92% of New Year's resolutions fail by February, according to a study from the University of Scranton. Why? Because they are "lofty goals" without a plan.
This year, let's join the successful 8%. The secret is the SMART framework:

A Glimmer of Hope!
Alḥamdulillah, Bashar al-Assad, the Pharaoh of our times, and the son of a Pharaoh, has been overthrown. Our hearts are full of joy, as this tyrannical dynasty is now relegated to the dustbins of history.
Throughout my entire life, my Syrian colleagues and their families have constantly been brutalized by these two men: I know many people in my own circle of friends who have lost loved ones, or been tortured, or are currently in exile, because of the inhumane and genocidal tendencies of these two megalomaniacs. One of my close friends lost dozens of family members in the massacre of Hama, where Hafez al-Assad sent his own air force and military elites in 1982 to bomb, pillage, destroy and annihilate tens of thousands of his own people. And his son Bashar, whom initially many thought would be a better ruler, turned out to be exponentially more evil: having exterminated perhaps a million of his own people, and displacing upwards of six million, because he feared losing his regime after the uprising of the Arab Spring in 2011.
Both father and son were the worst embodiments of tyrannical rule - we pray those who suffered at their hands be granted patience in this life, and ultimate rewards in seeing their fate in the next.
Amidst all of the bad news in the globe now, today's events in Syria provide us with a ray of hope and a glimmer of optimism in an otherwise bleak time. I sincerely pray the groups who have brought about this change learn from the mistakes of the Arab Spring, and help lead Syria to a better and brighter future for all of its inhabitants!
India has lost Bangladesh. Despite India's crucial military intervention at the end of 1971 that ensured first the defeat of the Pakistan military after a nine month war, and then the independence of the country, there has for some time been a significant anti-India feeling in Bangladesh that waxed that waned depending on the political situation in both countries.
The irritation/anger perhaps started when Indian products flooded the Bangladesh market in 1972, impacting upon Bangladesh's manufacturing industry devestated during the war. And as years went on there was always the sense that India being an overly influential big country neighbour. In addition there was perhaps a communal element to the anger, with India being a dominant Hindu nation, whilst Bangladesh, a muslim one.
However, the Indian government's total and criticual support for the Awami League in recent years, irrespective of lack of free and fair elections, terrible human rights record and increasing authoritarianism - along with India prime minister's Modi's anti-muslim rhetoric - had in recently years ratcheted up the the anger towards India. And, it was the Indian government's continued support for the Awami League even after the law enforcement killings started on July 16 which was the nail in the coffin. It will take many many years before the Indian government can come back from this.
Absolute Comedy!
Modi promotes the safety and security of minorities in Bangladesh, particularly Hindus. However, who will remind him of his responsibility for the violence against minorities in India, where he holds the highest office? It's a striking irony.
The attackers who assaulted the students protesting for the fall of the autocratic regime in Pabna are now demonstrating under the banner of minority groups!

Hey @sajeebwazed look at this video what the international media says about the mass killing in Bangladesh. You are just simply blind and spreading false information.
