GOOD HABITS

The importance of good habits lies in the fact that if you practice good habits, it will

take the form of your character and vice versa. Habits become part of our nature. We

should inculcate good habits in our lives. The great philosopher Plato scolded a lad for

gambling with nuts, and the boy replied, You are scolding me for a very small matter. The great philosopher gravely said, "My boy, habit is not a small matter". Plato was

here speaking out of the very depth of his great experience of human nature. A man with good habits plays an important role in the development of the society. He is

an asset to the society at large.

It is important to understand that if you once allow a bad habit to grow, it becomes a

part of our nature. A particular habit is, and can be, acquired acting always in a

particular way. Therefore, we should form good habits such as reading, studying, doing

physical exercises, eating healthy foods, etc. We should stay away from bad habits such

as watching a lot of TV, getting up late in the morning, procrastination, etc. Right conduct will become a habit, if a person spends his life following good practices. Habits changes into character. It is much more difficult to get rid of a

acquire a good habit. Hence, if, we develop a bad habit it becomes impossible to get rid

of that habit, for that will need a much greater sacrifice. When anybody takes us to task

for a bad habit, we often say that we will not do it again; from tomorrow. But that

tomorrow never comes. For on the tomorrow we again put off things, and become

"dupes of to-morrow". That means that the bad habit is permanently ingrained in our

nature and correction becomes almost impossible. Good habits lead to successful character. Bad habits not only prevent success in life, but

also it leads to the degeneration of character. It is attended with other vices which

undermine the foundations of our character. Good habits create virtues. On the other hand, with bad habits comes idleness, undutifulness, loss of capacity to work hard. A person, whose habits are good, will

generally be found to be methodical, persevering and dutiful. He regards life from a

more serious standpoint. He builds his life on the strongest foundation. Therefore, good

habits should be inculcated early during child life.
