The Good and the Bad Habits

A great man has called man as a bundle of habits; habits of a man are responsible for his rise and fall. We should not become slaves to our habits.

Habits may be good or bad and so we must be careful. Habits may be formed early in life, “Bend the twig, bend the tree”. If a bad habit is formed early in life, it may be difficult afterwards to get rid of it. Some of the good habits which children must form are early rising, cleanliness, obedience and honest.

They are more important than the formation of evil habits, such as lying, smoking and stealing. These habits are often formed on account of association with bad companions.

Our habits with reference to food and dress are matters of convenience, if in such matters we do not get certain things at stated hours; we should be able to manage without them. Some people even get a headache, if they do not have their coffee in time. They have become slaves to this habit. They must try to stop such habits.
