L50-3: New Yearresolutions
That was really unsettling, but I fendedoff the taunts and jibesof the family good-humouredly and soon everybody got used to the idea. However, my enthusiasm waned. The time I spent at exercisesgradually diminished. Little by littlethe 11 minutes fell to zero. By January 10th, I was back towhere I had started from. I argued that if I spent less time exhausting myselfat exercises in the morning, I would keep my mind fresh for reading when I gothome from work Resisting the hypnotizing effect of television, I sat in my room for a few evenings with my eyes glued to a book.One night, however, feeling cold andlonely, I went downstairs and sat in front of the television pretending to read. That provedto be my undoing, for I soon got back to my old bad habit of dozingoff in front of the screen. I still haven't given up my resolution to do morereading. In fact, I have just bought a book entitled "How to Read aThousand Words a Minute". Perhaps it will solve my problem, but I justhaven't had time to read it!
