Most of us fail in our efforts at self-improvement because our schemes are tooambitious and we never have time to carry them out. We also make the fundamentalerror of announcing our resolutions to everybody so that we look even more foolishwhen we slip back into our bad old ways. Aware of these pitfalls, this year I attemptedto keep my resolutions to myself. I limited myself to two modest ambitions, to dophysical exercise every morning and to read more every evening. An all-night partyon New Year's Eve provided me with a good excuse for not carrying out either ofthese new resolutions on the first day of the year, but on the second, I applied myself assiduously to the task. why did the writer not carry out his resolutions on New year's day? |
