Here are some examples that shows why Gujjus are different from others and why they don’t require any kind of New Year resolution to improve them.

1. Others: I will follow a strict diet, get fit to lead a happy life
   Gujju: You are happy when you do things that make you happy. Food makes us happy. We will eat to our heart’s content.
2. Others: I will control my expenses, start saving!
   Gujju: kharcha ochha karva thi paisa na vadhe. Paisa etla kamaao ke badha j kharcha kari shakaay.
   We don’t believe on cutting off expenses to save money, we believe in working hard to earn enough to meet all our expenses n still save.
3. Others: I’ll read a new book every month/week.
   Gujju: life teaches us better lessons than any book ever can. We don’t “learn n live life”. We “live life n learn”.
