Are you making a resolution for 2018? Warning: More than half of all resolutions fail, but this year, they don’t have to be yours. Here’s how to identify the right resolution to improve your life, create a plan on how to reach it, and become part of the small group of people that successfully achieve their goal.

Pick the Right Resolution

You’ll give yourself your best shot at success if you set a goal that’s doable — and meaningful too.

According to the time management firm FranklinCovey, one third of resolutioners don’t make it past the end of January.

A lot of these resolutions fail because they’re not the right resolutions. And a resolution may be wrong for one of three main reasons:

• It’s a resolution created based on what someone else (or society) is telling you to change. 
• It’s too vague.
• You don’t have a realistic plan for achieving your resolution.

Your goals should be smart — and SMART. That’s an acronym coined in the journal Management Review in 1981 for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. It may work for management, but it can also work in setting your resolutions, too.

• Specific. Your resolution should be absolutely clear. “Making a concrete goal is really important rather than just vaguely saying ‘I want to lose weight.’ You want to have a goal: How much weight do you want to lose and at what time interval?”. “Five pounds in the next two months — that’s going to be more effective.”

• Measurable. This may seem obvious if your goal is a fitness or weight loss related one, but it’s also important if you’re trying to cut back on something, too. If, for example, you want to stop biting your nails, take pictures of your nails over time so you can track your progress in how those nails grow back out. Logging progress into a journal or making notes on your phone or in an app designed to help you track behaviors can reinforce the progress, no matter what your resolution may be.

• Achievable. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have big stretch goals. But trying to take too big a step too fast can leave you frustrated, or affect other areas of your life to the point that your resolution takes over your life — and both you and your friends and family flail. So, for example, resolving to save enough money to retire in five years when you’re 30 years old is probably not realistic, but saving an extra $100 a month may be. (And if that’s easy, you can slide that number up to an extra $200, $300 or $400 a month).

• Relevant. Is this a goal that really matters to you, and are you making it for the right reasons? “If you do it out of the sense of self-hate or remorse or a strong passion in that moment, it doesn’t usually last long.” “But if you build up a process where you’re thinking harder about what’s good for you, you’re changing the structure of your life, you’re bringing people into your life who will reinforce that resolution, then I think you have a fighting chance.” 

• Time-bound. Like “achievable,” the timeline toward reaching your goal should be realistic, too. That means giving yourself enough time to do it with lots of smaller intermediate goals set up along the way. “Focus on these small wins so you can make gradual progress.” “If you’re building a habit, you’re planning for the next decade, not the next couple of months.”

1. Braised pork rice (滷肉飯)
Not to be underestimated: braised fatty pork with rice.  
不可小覷的滷肉飯

"Where there's a wisp of smoke from the kitchen chimney, there will be lurou fan [braised pork with rice]," goes the Taiwanese saying. The popularity of this humble dish cannot be overstated.
"Lurou fan" is almost synonymous with Taiwanese food.
"Lurou fan is the more ordinary and down-to-earth dish for any Taiwanese," says Rae Lin, founder of dearbnb, a Taiwanese travel website. "From your mother's version of lurou fan to the one served in a restaurant, it's the one dish we truly can't live without."
A good bowl of lurou fan features finely chopped, not quite minced, pork belly, slow-cooked in aromatic soy sauce with five spices. There should be an ample amount of fattiness, in which lies the magic. The meat is spooned over hot rice. A little sweet, a little salty, braised pork rice is comfort food perfected.

2. Oyster omelet (蚵仔煎)
The oyster omelet: the island's snack.  
全島公認的點心

Here's a snack that really showcases the fat of the land of Taiwan. You've got something from the sea and something from the soil.

The eggs are the perfect foil for the little oysters easily found around the island, while sweet potato starch is added to give the whole thing a gooey chewiness -- a signature Taiwan food texture.  

No wonder it was voted best snack to represent the island in a poll of 1,000 Taiwanese by Global Views Monthly in 2007.

3. Bubble tea (珍珠奶茶)
Better than beer: bubble tea is a drink and a snack.  
比啤酒更棒：是飲料也是點心

Bubble tea is representative of the "QQ" food texture that Taiwanese love. The cute-sounding phrase refers to something that is very chewy, just like the tapioca balls that are the "bubbles" in bubble tea.

It is said that this unique drink was invented out of boredom. Liu Han-Chieh threw some sweetened tapioca pudding into her iced Assam tea on a fateful day in 1988 and one of the greatest Taiwanese exports was born.
Huge variations on the theme have since emerged, including taro-flavored tea, jasmine tea or coffee, served cold or hot.

4. Coffin bread (棺材板)
If the Addams Family came to Taiwan. 
"阿達一族"(電影)來台灣的話...

This Tainan specialty is a mutated offspring of French toast and chowder.
An extra thick piece of bread is hollowed out to resemble a flat bread bowl. It is toasted to harden it and then filled with seafood chowder.
Legend says a Taiwanese chef who studied Western cooking invented this bread-soup-bowl-with-corners.
One day an archeologist tried the toast and told the chef, “It looks just like the coffin I am excavating now.”
Thus, the chowder soup took on its morbid Chinese name, which means "coffin bread."

5. Gua bao (割包)
Dear Gua Bao, you're the Big Mac of our eye.  
親愛的割包，你是我們眼中的"大麥克"(麥當勞的大漢堡)

It's a hamburger, Taiwan-style.
A steamed bun sandwiches a hearty filling of braised pork belly, pickled Chinese cabbage and powdered peanuts.
The filling is chopped up into small pieces and mixed together so there's a bit of everything in every bite. Consider doing this with Western hamburgers.
Take in a big mouthful and enjoy the salty, sour and sweet flavors and the greasy pork swimming in your mouth.

6. Pineapple cake (鳳梨酥)
Sunny Hill's traditional pineapple cake.
"微熱山丘"的傳統式鳳梨酥

This iconic Taiwanese pastry is one of the best souvenir options. These mini pineapple pies are filled with candied pineapple. 
If you want the best pineapple cake experience, try SunnyHills which uses only local pineapple as filling. It yields a darker filling, rougher texture and a more sour taste. 
The traditional pies at other shops are filled with a mix of pineapple and chewable bits of winter melon. They have a fruity sweetness and a golden casing of crumbly buttery pastry.
Stores that replace pineapple completely with winter melon to cut costs are committing a big no-no.

7. Tian bu la (甜不辣)
Don't waste a single drop: water down the brown sauce and drink it up.
一滴也不浪費：湯水下碗、混合濃郁醬汁，然後把它喝光

Tian bu la refers to fish paste that has been molded into various shapes and sizes, deep-fried, then boiled in a broth. Before eating, the pieces of solid fish paste are taken out of the broth and smothered in brown sauce.
Doesn't sound like much, but it delivers plenty of the sweet flavors and chewy textures beloved by Taiwanese. Tian bu la is basically a Taiwan take on Japanese oden, with more sugariness, tougher fish cakes and a signature sauce. 
After finishing the pieces of fish cakes, there's more to come. Get some soup from the vendor and add it to the remaining sauce in the bowl. Mix and drink the flavor bomb.  

8. Ba wan (肉圓)
Ba wan: dumplings for giants.
肉圓：是巨人的水餃

The ba wan is Taiwan's mega dumpling.
Made with a dough of rice flour, corn starch and sweet potato starch, it looks almost translucent after cooking. Pork, veggies and sometimes eggs are stuffed inside and gravy is poured on top. 
It is commonly believed that ba wan was invented during periods of scarcity. The simple pork dumpling was then a luxurious snack enjoyed only during the Lunar New Year festival. 

9. Fried chicken (鹽酥雞)
Perfect street food: boneless and bite-sized.
完美隨手吃：去骨、一口剛剛好

In the fried chicken hall of fame, Taiwan deserves its own exhibit. Not only has it made the giant fried chicken cutlet (No. 35 on this list) a cult classic, but its popcorn chicken is dangerously addictive.
The chicken is chopped into bite-sized pieces, marinated, dipped in batter and deep-fried. A generous sprinkling of salt and pepper complete the morish morsels. It's a ubiquitous snack on the city streets.

10. Flaky scallion pancake (蔥抓餅)
The flaky scallion pancake, Taiwan's food porn queen.
有著酥脆口感的千層蔥餅，是台灣美食之性感女王

There is nothing more appetizing than the sight of a flaky scallion pancake being slowly torn apart. Add cheese and egg fillings to maximize the visuals.

Devour this night market staple in a few bites to ensure it is steaming hot and chewy.

11. Oyster vermicelli (蚵仔麵線)
Oyster vermicelli: taste of the sea.
鮮蚵細麵：海洋之味

A bowl of great oyster vermicelli should have a thick, flavorful soup base while the thin rice noodles and oysters should still retain their distinct texture.  
Some people will add chopped intestines for a funky dimension to the soup.
It is a gooey, slurpable dish, more soup than noodle, with an intense briny taste.


12. Stinky tofu (臭豆腐)
You need two hands to eat this, one to hold your nose.
吃的時候你需要兩手併用，一手是用來掐住鼻子的

This is the world's best love-it-or-hate-it snack and Taiwan does it just right. 
The "fragrant" cube of bean curd is deep-fried and draped with sweet and spicy sauce. It you hold your nose, it looks and tastes just like a plain ol' piece of fried tofu, with a crisp casing and soft center like pudding.
But what's the fun in eating that? Inhale deeply and relish the stench, the smellier, the better.


13. Pepper cakes (胡椒餅)
So good that we ate half of it before remembering to take a photo.
太好吃了差點忘記拍照，吃到一半才想起來

The must-have at Rao He night market, the pepper cake is a crispy pocket filled with juicy pork that is infused with the aromatic bite of black pepper. Baked on the wall of a clay oven, the pies are a delicious ode to the pepper plant.
Make sure you get more than one, or risk the overwhelming sense of regret when you have to wait again in the long queue for more.

Many countries have their own way to celebrate the Valentine’s Day. As for Chinese custom, we have Qixi festival for the lovers. It’s on the 7th day of the 7th Chinese lunar month. In 2017 that is August 28.

It comes from a romantic legend about weaving maid and the cowherd.
As the story goes, Niulang (牛郎) was a cowherd who was an orphan living with his brother and sister-in-law. However, his sister-in-law disliked him and mistreated him, which force Niulang leave with an old ox.

One day, the ox talked to him that there are young goddesses bathed in the sacred pond near Niulang's cottage and the most beautiful girl in the universe, Zhinv (織女), would be his wife. The two fell in love at first sight and were soon married.

However, Zhinv was renowned not only for her beauty but for her skills as a weaver and seamstress as well. She was also the granddaughter of the Jade Emperor(玉皇大帝). When the Jade Emperor found out that his granddaughter had married a mortal. He ordered the Empress to fetch Zhinv. Niulang came home and found his wife had been taken away. He immediately took their kids to catch up the Empress.

The Empress became angry when she saw Niulang and his children. She slashed across the sky with her hairpin and a raging river flowed in the heavens. This created the Heavenly River (天河) , which separated the lovers.

Niulang and his children could only weep bitterly. Moved by their sorrow, the Jade Emperor turned them into stars and allowed them to meet once each year via a bridge made from magpies (喜鵲).

Featurette and the story behind

1. With regard to investment
In order to produce a satisfactory film, Wu still mortgaged the house to the bank, Wu interview said: "Although a lot of investors are willing to give money, but there will be a lot of additional requirements, in order to do not want to film by investors too much interference, and finally mortgage the house to the bank, loans 80 million.

2. About actress
When the actress was chosen, Wu wanted to find a domestic famous actor, turn no, he said, (the domestic actress to find a like him to fight the same do not double, and even singing also want doubles, this is the current situation in the line!) So just choose the Lu Jingxian, starred in the Spike, really good, people from childhood martial arts, father was also an action actor, compared to some domestic actress, Lujen do very well.

3. About underwater fighting scenes
The film starts with a mirror of the underwater fight, which requires him to stay underwater for about three and a half minutes, just this one nearly 6 minutes of the long shot, Wu took a whole big half a month, 25 consecutive diving attempt, the last 26th time Wu feel the best, several times the suffocation, this dedication and dedication, is very worthy of affirmation.

4. About the hospital shootout
It's dangerous to shoot a gunfight in a hospital. Because the hospital's residential area itself has a lot of militants, this is the real armed elements are not the kind of film, according to Wu's introduction, before filming to find a lot of local people to protect security, should also give local militants some costs. This does not specify that all staff members should not act alone or go outside the film when filming, because there may be a real AK47 to give you a burst of hair at any time.

5. About Guest Accidents
This video Wu see props group too careless to guest's African girl hurt, very angry video Wu said dirty words, really is said you he horse what all ignore, the text did not play out, only play you all ignore.
But I was touched when I saw this video. Also very shaking, feel scold good, should do so, a good director of a responsible director should cherish and care for everyone in the crew, even if it is a small group of little play after the Wu personally hands-on help little girl wrapped wound and protective gear.

6. About Mr. Wu Gang
During the filming, Wu Gang teacher accidentally hit the plate, leading to the waist injury, can not move in order not to delay the filming progress, he simply after the treatment on the film to continue filming, by eating stop pain tablets quite, Wu gang teacher said, when you challenge yourself is no hesitation, this dedication to the Director Wu deeply admire.
Imagine if this role were to be given to a domestic actor who even had to be a stand-in for the singing to do what it would have done, and to think of it as a deep tribute to all the good actors in professional love.

My distinguished guests:

I am willing to introduce the advantages of Kingtronics SMD Aluminum E cap for you. Compared with other capacitors, SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor’ s advantages can be listed as follows:

1. The capacitance per unit volume of aluminum capacitors is particularly large, the lower operating voltage, this feature is more outstanding. Therefore, the aluminum capacitors is particularly suitable for miniaturization and large capacity of the capacitor. It is noteworthy that its small size, light weight, volume and weight only about 1/10 of the traditional components.

2. Kingtronics SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor has best in class high-frequency performance, it can reduce the interference of electromagnetic and radio frequency.

3. Kingtronics SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is easy to achieve automation and improve production efficiency. It not only reduces 30% to 50% of the cost, but also saves material, energy, equipment, manpower, time and so on.

4. The defects of the SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor can be repaired at any time during the working process and restore its insulation capacity. Besides, the dielectric oxide film of the Aluminum Electrolytic is able to withstand very high electric field strength, this is more than 30 times the paper capacitor.

The advantages of Kingtronics SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor are far more than what I said, if you want to know more about SMD E cap, we would like to inform you with pleasure! Please refer to Kingtronics website: http://www.kingtronics.com/aluminum-electrolytic-capacitors/

My distinguished guests,

If you pay close attention to Kingtronics official website, you must feel curious. Why is the code printed on the SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor surface different from the model name? Now, let me tell you the reason. Because SMD E Cap requires fine workmanship, so the surface is too small to print the model name, we marked GKT series SMD E cap for different code:

SC code printed on the GKT-VC SMD E Cap
EL code printed on the GKT-VE SMD E Cap
KZ code printed on the GKT-VK SMD E Cap
KL code printed on the GKT-VL SMD E Cap
CN code printed on the GKT-VN SMD E Cap
LZ code printed on the GKT-VZ SMD E Cap
CS code printed on the GKT-VA SMD E Cap
CK code printed on the GKT-VT SMD E Cap
