 Habits What is a habit? Why should you have habits? Let's talk about that. First of all, I'd like to say that there are three types of habits. Good habits, bad habits, and the neutral ones. An English writer, Samuel Smiles once said, Sower thought and you reap an act. Sower an act and you reap a habit. Sower a habit and you reap a character. Sower a character and you reap a destiny. I think we should keep this quote in mind because it's how habits work. They are the builders of our character, and our character is the builder of our achievements. Our achievements are the builders of our destiny. Good habits prevent people from making bad things. Bad habits prevent people from making good things. The earlier you realize this fact, the better. There are some people who are self-disciplined. They are most likely high achievers at school or work. It seems that they are lucky or more gifted than others, but perhaps their secret is a habit of working day after day in order to achieve their goals. Have you heard about time management? It's a set of techniques which help you to develop useful habits. If you improve your self-discipline, you will be able to become self-organized. After you become self-organized, you will be able to achieve your goals much faster. The faster you learn to achieve a little goal, the closer is your big success.
