Mentally, a

19、t least, most of us could compile formidable lists of dos and donts. The same old favorites recur year in year out with monotonous 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 the house, be nice to people w

20、e dont 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 inveterate smokers, it is only because we have so often experienced the frustration that results from failure. Mostof us fail in our eff

We also make the fundamental error of announcing our resolutions to everybody so that we look even more foolish when we slip back into our bad old ways. Aware of these pitfalls, this year I attem

However, my enthusiasm waned. The time I spent at exercises gradually diminished. Little by little the eleven minutes fell

26、 to zero. By January 10th, I was back to where I had started from. I argued that if I spent less timeexhausting myself at exercises in the morning, I would keep my mind fresh for reading when I got Home form work Resisting the hypnotizing effect of television, I sat in my room for afew evenings with

27、 my eyes 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 myundoing, for I soon got back to my old bad habit of dozingoff in front of the screen. I still havent given up myresolution to do more re
