Thanks for the insightful hub. "Learn something new," the third resolution you mention, will go a long way in helping anyone with the last three resolutions: more self-confidence, and developing and finding more friends.

drbj, you're welcome! Yep, we can't stop learning. If we're content at the level we're at in life we find ourselves going backwards because everyone else is going forwards!
