New year resolutions 50.

The new year is a time for resolutions下决心.  Mentally, at least most of us could  Compile formidable编撰强大的清单 lists of  DOS and don'ts. The same old furious recruit year in year out with  Monotonous单调的 regularity. We resolve决心 to get up earlier each morning eat less, spend more time to play with the children, do a husband and one jobs about the house, be nice to people we don't like drive carefully and take the dog for a walk every day. Past experience has taught us that certain accomplishments  are beyond attainment. If we remain inverterate smokers, it is only because we have so often experienced the frustration that results from failure. Most of us feel in our efforts at self improvement because our schemes are too ambitious and we never have time to carry them out. We also make the fundamental error of announcing our resolutions to everyone so that we look even more foolish when we slip back into our bad old ways. Aware of these vegetables this year, I attempt to keep my resolutions to myself. I limited myself to two modest ambitions to do physical exercises every morning and to read more of an evening. An all night party on New Year's Eve provided me with a good excuse for not carrying out either of these new resolutions on the first day of the year. But on the second I applied myself  assiduously刻苦的 to the task. The daily exercises lasted only 11 minutes and I proposed to do them early in the morning before anyone had got up. The self discipline required to drag myself out of bed 11 minutes earlier than usual was considerable.

Neither nevertheless, I managed to creep爬行 down into the living room for two days before anyone found me out. After jumping about on the  Carpet地毯 and twisting the human frame into uncomfortable positions, I SAT down at the breakfast table in an exhausted condition. It was this that betrayed出卖 me. The next morning the whole family trooped结对 in to watch the performance. That was really upsetting, but I fended off the twinkles and jobs of the family, good humor urgently and soon everybody got used to the idea. However my enthusiasm waned衰弱减弱. The time I spent at exercises gradually diminished diminished. Little by little the 11 minutes fell to zero. By january 10, I was back to where I had started from. I argued that if I spent last time exhausting myself at exercise in the morning, I would keep my mind fresh for reading when I got home from work. Resisting the hypnotizing催眠的 effect of television,  I SAT in my room for a few a evenings with my eye glued to a book one night, however feeling cold and lonely I went downstairs and SAT in front of the television pretending to read. That proved to be my undoing撤销, for I soon got back to my old bad habit of losing off in front of the screen. I still haven't given up my resolution to do more reading. In fact, I have just bought a book entitled how to read a thousand words a minute. Perhaps it will solve my problem, but I just haven't had a time to read it.
