Exercise2
1. Who's Caroline Arnold? Possible answer: She's a busy mother, Wall Street innovator, writer/author
2. What's the first rule that helps you stick to resolution and how to implement it? Possible answer: The first rule is 'Don't make resolutions you can't keep', this means that big resolution requires drastic changes which we can't keep, so it's easier to implement a small change and with time increase it.
3. Why did Mrs. Arnold decide to write the book? She was one of the 90% who failed every year. So one year instead of saying she's going to be somebody different, she decided to do something differently.
4. How did she start her first micro resolution. Possible answer: Stop eating cookies at the conference room
5. What does the writer mean by establishing a pattern in our mind. Possible answer: Implementing a micro resolution leads to a change in our mind that affects other areas of life that are relatively similar.
