Around the world people think about what they should change or improve in their lives and write it down.
The first record goes back to the ancient Babylonians who promised their gods that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts.
This tradition became stronger at the end of the Great Depression in the USA. People were feeling sad and depressed and needed hope. Many are the people worldwide who keep doing it.
The references to this tradition can be found in books, paintings and obviously, films. 'Bridget Jones's Diary' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQdy98B1nf0), is an example of it.
Some of the most popular goals nowadays include: saving money, losing weight, drinking less alcohol and getting a better job.
At Lancaster College Póvoa de Varzim staff and students were asked to write down their strongest goals and it is now displayed on a wall for everyone to see.
It's no surprise to see that what our students wish for 2013 is related to work and money issues.
Happy 2012 for everyone!!!
