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,find more 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 our schemes are too ambitiousand we never have time to carry them out. We also make the fundamental error ofannouncing our resolutions to everybody so that we look even more foolish whenwe slip back into our bad old ways. Aware of these pitfalls, this year Iattempted to keep my resolutions to myself.
