This kind of thing always reminds me of one of the classics of the comic strip "Sylvia". It was titled "RESOLUTIONS OF THE BARELY UNDER CONTROL" and it showed this rather stressed out looking woman sitting at her desk.
Her initial resolution was "I resolve to be more tolerant and pleasant with others". This is crossed out and replaced with "I resolve to be more tolerant when dealing with the incompetent people who surround me". This is then crossed out and replaced with "I will not slap anyone first thing in the morning."
