To mind one's own business

Thinking about the various resolutions people make every new year, I decided to make one for 2006. (I have decided to stick it also). “Resolutions are difficult to stick to and keeping up a resolution is a challenge by itself”. Especially for a person like me who loves challenges in life, I thought a resolution would prove to be some fun.

My mom has decided to never yell at me from Jan ‘01, but couldn’t help yelling at me for coming late home after a new years party. Her resolution would definitely be the greatest challenge any mother would face.

I have definitely learnt a lot from my mistakes in the past .So after a lot of thought, I decided, to resolve to “minding my own business this year”. When I say minding my own business it means that I will simply mind my own work (stop poking my nose into other peoples affairs unnecessarily). I hope it won’t prove to be a great challenge to keep up this resolution . This would result in lesser number of phone calls, peace of mind and give me more time to read more books and blog more. This would definitely reduce the number of fights at home and end the mahabarat at home forever.

In this world if every person did mind his own business,

If Hitler did mind his own business………
If Napoleon did mind his own business……
If George .W. Bush did mind his own business………

it would truly result in an ideal world that many people are dying to make.

Therefore, to mind ones own business doesn’t mean you are being selfish it simply means greater peace of mind for you and the people around you.

Sounds like you got your head in the sand. There's a difference abut being a busybody and caring what goes on around you.

In fact, it was Germans who "minded their own business" who let Hitler get away with what he did. In George Bushes country, people don't "mind their own business" and can have a say without being sent to the gas chamber. Do you follow any logic or just write?
