Or, take another very general New Years
resolution, that of getting up at a certain time
in the morning. When the day dawns, any rea-
son whatever is grasped at to evade this. The
weather is too cold, the alarm was not loud enough,
he is sure his watch is fast, he doesn't really
feel we'll enough to risk getting up earlier than
usual, and, after all. he asks himself. is there
any real reason why he should? A thousand-and-
one excuses the average individual will make to
himself rather than perform what he has designed
to do. The world is full OF wobblers of this kind.
and the more they wobble the weaker they be-
come.
Another reason perhaps why the average reso-
l~ution-makers so seldom achieve their purpose is
that they attempt too much. They make two,
three. sometimes six resolutions at once, whereas
to carry through one resolution successfully is
quite an admirable feat.

And so it happens that the large army of peo-
pie who wait for the New Year before e~ffecting
a reformation in their lives are seldom success
full in carrying out their intentions. They are
not possessed of the spirit of energy anG resolu-
ton necessary to achievement. 1t may be
argued that it is better to make good resolutions,
even though they are not carried out, than not
to make them at all. This is open to question,
however. Unless one is absolutely determined
to do what one has decreed, it is perhaps on the
whole better not to make promises to oneself.
Unfulflled resolves continually repeated, tend to
weaken the character, and to reduce ones faith
In oneself, Just as resolutions put into practice
are conducive to strength and selfconfdence.
Very little tends to overbalance the resolutions
of the average person. In fact, many people well
come any excuse to exonerate them from the
carrying out Of their resolves. One individual
determines, let us say, never to lose his temper.
He comes down on New Years morning with a
set smile on hr face. Alas! 1t is short-Iived.
The whole world seems in conspiracy to drag
him back to his former frame of mind. The cot.
fee is cold, the letters which look so allurine
prove to be chiefly bills and begging ~epistles. he
falls over the doorstep as he leaves the house.
All these minor annoyances, which, II rightly
met, would have helped him to conquer his weak.
ness, serve but to throw him back into his
original state, and before evening he is as bad
as ever he has been.
