It is said that early to
bed and early to rise
makes a man health,
wealthy and wise. Early
to bed and early to rise
is a good habit. A habit
means repetition of the
same action in similar
cir tances.
All men have habits.
There are good and bad
habits. They are of
different kinds. Habits
are acts which men
indulge in to satisfy
their needs. These
habits are developed or
learn from different
sources. Drinking water,
taking breakfast, lunch
and dinner and sleeping
at nights are habits,
based on instinct.
Man has no control over
thirst, hunger and sleep.
They are therefore
inborn habits. There are
other habits acquired
like brushing your teeth,
taking a bath, wearing
clothes, combing your
hair etc., which help a
man to look neat and
healthy. A walk in the
morning is a good habit
for old men.
The needs of society
develop in men some
good habits. Man is a
social animal and he can
not live in isolation.
Respecting elders,
wishing Good morning,
Good evening and
Good night are good
habits. Serving the
cause of poor and
needy, and respecting
the social laws like
observing queue are
good habits. Men live in
groups. These groups
influence some habits.
A man laughs when
others in the group
weep. These are group
habits. Man wants
happiness and peace.
Listening to music and
reading a book are good
habits, which help a
man to spend a
peaceful life. Going to a
temple or offering daily
prayers are habits,
which serve the needs
of the soul.
Education is based on
the principle of habit
formation. Repetition
makes learning easy.
Learning a language i.e.
speaking, reading and
wring is based on habit.
Similarly education helps
in the development of
good habits like
punctuality, attention,
concentration,
cooperation, discipline
etc...
As there are good
habits, there are had
habits too. We acquire
them both from our
friends and from the
society in which we live.
Smoking, drinking
alcohol, drugging,
speaking untruth,
teasing the weak,
committing acts of
theft may all be
considered as bad
habits. Habits are easy
to acquire but difficult
to give up. They have a
great hold on people and
are not easily broken. So
it is better not to
acquire a bad habit than
try to give it up later.
Good habits lead to
good manners. Good
manners give us good
friends; good friends
mean good
environment; good
environment leads to a
happy and peaceful life. *
