习惯的力量

The force of habit It is very easy to acquire bad habits， such as eating too many sweets or too much food or drinking too much fluid of any kind or smoking. 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 unhappy. This is called the force of habit. The force of habit should be fought against. Things which may be very good when only done from time to time， tend to become very harmful when done too often or too much.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. The wise man always remembers that this is true about himself, "I am now becoming idle," or "I eat too many sweets, "or "I smoke too much," and then adds, "I will get myself out of this bad habit at once. " 养成坏习惯是很容易的，比如，吃太多的甜品或太多的食物，或者喝太多的饮料，抑或吸烟。我们做的越多，我们就越喜欢这样做。如果我们不继续这样做，我们就会感到不快乐。这被称为习惯的力量，而我们应该与这种力量作抗争。 有些事情点到为止会很有益处。但如果做的太多，往往会变得非常有害。这甚至适用于工作或休息等好事情。有些人养成了工作过度的坏习惯，而另一些人则无所事事。 聪明的人总是能清醒的认识到自己身上存在的问题，“我现在变得无所事事”或者“我吃了太多的糖果”或者“我抽了很多烟”，然后又补充道，“我马上就改掉这个坏习惯。”
