Resolution

In Miaoli, there was a woman in her eighties that walked the block outside my grandparents' house everyday. Five times in the morning, five times in the afternoon, with slow steps and saying hello to all the neighbors. She stood with good posture and would give you a real smile if she saw you.

So I'm putting it out there that I intend to practice discipline (and public speaking) in this manner. 

Discipline not in reference to the Middle English translation, but in the sense of self-instruction and commitment given in sincerity. And public speaking in that I hope it feels better than mortification by scourging oneself, someday, o some day.
