We are past the middle mark of the year which means it is a perfect time to check in your new year resolution and if you are working towards making them come true. While it is common that we get distracted or fall off track while trying to work towards our resolution, it is still not too late to do something about it.
One thing that can help us do so is with the help of Facebook groups. Facebook groups help connect like-minded people in a community, to discuss, learn and share resources on a variety of topics.

One way to look at it is a group of Nasi Lemak lovers, Member A cooks the rice really well and he teaches the group how to do so. Member B who is best at fried chicken wing shares his recipe with the group too. Over time, the members of the group will be able to cook the best Nasi Lemak in Singapore when more members step forward to share their what works and what did not.
Compare this to having to do your own research on various ingredients and trial and error on some of the cooking methods, the collective intelligence and knowledge of a group definitely works better.
