1. 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.” 习惯的力量 习惯，不管是好还是坏，都是逐渐形成的。我们越多做一件事情，我们就越倾向于喜欢做.如果我们不继续这样做，我们觉得不舒服。这就是所谓的习惯的力量，习惯的力量应该被战胜。 这甚至适用于工作或休息。有些人形成了工作太多的坏习惯，有些人虚度太多光阴。坏习惯一旦形成，难以摆脱。 聪明的人总是记得检查任何坏习惯。他警告自己：“我现在已经变得懒散了”或“我喜欢太多糖果”或“我抽烟太多。”然后说：“我会立马改掉这个坏习惯。” 2.The Way to Achieve Success Many people say that they owe much of it to the cultivation of certain good habits in early life. In forming good habits, I think we should pay attention to four things, that is honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift. “Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention. There are so many temptations in society that through a little carelessness we may go astray. But when we are honest, people will not be dishonest to us. Industry gives every man and woman, every boy and girl, proper work to do. To do nothing is going to ruin oneself. Enthusiasm is a great force. One’s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause. The difficulties in our way are tremendous, but what can we not accomplish, if with enthusiasm? There are many proverbs, which set forth the advantages of thrift. Since we live in the world in which money is a very powerful thing, we should always try to save a portion of our earnings for future use. These are the four things to which we must pay attention. It is only by this way that we can achieve success.
