It’s a new year, and time for resolutions. How about resolving to learn how to do the right thing? It’s all here: how to use cell phones sensibly and sensitively; how to behave at an unfamiliar religious ceremony; how to tie a bow tie; how to make ethical decisions; how to have a happy life. Happy New Year!
