Question

habit are like chains which we forge ourselves. do you agree with this statement? if yes, why?

Answer 1

'Habit are like chains which we forge ourselves.' I agree with this statement because :-

• “It’s not that I’m so smart,” Einstein once said, “it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
• The fortitude to stay the course, and to not be tempted to give up or give in, is the mark of an Olympic-level mentality.

• It’s task tenacity. While some seem naturally gifted in this area, many of us prefer to take the daily shortcut even when we know that this is not the path to long-term success.
• Why do some continue to keep plugging away, no matter how difficult it becomes while others get discouraged and take detours? On a surface level, we attribute this to a lack of will power.
• But we now know that it goes beyond that, that a habit of giving up is mostly that—a habit which becomes hard-wired.

• On a physical level, habits are the repeated patterns of behavior that form neural pathways; these are best understood as bundles of neurons (nerve cells) that form a highway which connects parts of the brain.
• Years of practicing a habit create the hard-wired neural pathways which neuroscientists tell us show up as an actual thickening of brain circuitry.
• This becomes the brain’s default mode, or as Shaquille O’Neil puts it, “You are what you repeatedly do.”
• This is why it is so hard to break the habit of taking the easy chair in life.
