L50-1: New Yearresolutions
The New Year is atime for resolutions. Mentally, at least, most of us could compile formidablelists of 'dos' and 'don'ts'. The same old favorites recur year in year out withmonotonous regularity. We resolve to get up earlier each morning, eat less, findmore time to play with the children, do a thousand and one jobs about thehouse, be nice to people we don't' like, drive carefully, and take the dog fora walk every day. Past experience has taught us that certain accomplishmentsare beyond attainment. If we remain inveterate smokers, it is only because wehave so often experienced the frustration that results from failure.Most of usfail in our efforts at self-improvement
because ourschemes are too ambitious and we never have time to carry them out. We alsomake the fundamental error of announcing our resolutions to everybody so thatwe look even more foolish when we slip back into our bad old ways. Aware ofthese pitfalls, this year I attempted to keep my resolutions to myself.
