習(xí)慣的力量The Force of Habits
The Force of Habits
Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. The more we do a thing, the more we tend to like doing it; and if we do not continue to do it, we feel uncomfortable. This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against.This applies even to such good things as work or rest. Some people form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling too much. Bad habits, once formed, are difficult to get rid of.
The wise man always remembers to check any bad habit. He warns himself “I am now becoming idle” or “I like too many sweets” or “I smoke too much”. And then adds, “I will get myself out of this bad habit at once.”

習(xí)慣的力量
習(xí)慣,不管好壞,逐漸形成。我們做的越多,我們就越喜歡做這件事;如果我們不繼續(xù)這樣做,我們會(huì)感到不舒服。這就是習(xí)慣的力量,以及習(xí)慣的力量。這甚至適用于諸如工作或休息這樣的好事情。有些人養(yǎng)成了工作太多的壞習(xí)慣,有些人則無所事事。壞習(xí)慣一旦形成,就很難擺脫。
聰明人總是記得檢查任何壞習(xí)慣。他警告自己,“我現(xiàn)在變得懶惰”或“我喜歡太多糖果”或“我吸煙太多”。然后補(bǔ)充說,“我會(huì)立刻擺脫這個(gè)壞習(xí)慣。”"
