FROM GOOD HABITS
Fully 95 percent of everything you do throughout your day is based

habits of success. Successful people form good habits and ensure
that those habits govern their behaviors. Unsuccessful people allow
bad habits to form, and these bad habits then lead to frustration
and failure.

easy to live with. Bad habits, on the other hand, are easy to form but hard
to live with.”
A habit is defined as “a conditioned response to stimuli.” It is an
automatic way of responding or reacting in a particular situation.

and reacting. Once it becomes a habit, it becomes easier to do it that
way than to do it some other way. What kind of habits do you have?
