Essay / My good and bad habits - 429
My good and bad habitsA habit can be many things, some good, some not so good. Everyone has habits that they would like to change and perhaps improve. I believe that the majority of my habits are good, but some are not. These are the bad habits I'm going to talk about. Smoking is a bad habit that is not only harmful to myself, but also to the people around me, including my wife and children. They receive the most harmful and concentrated amounts of smoke. I breathe through a filter, not my wife and children. Another of my irritating and potentially harmful habits is my ability to let anger build up inside and redirect it to another source. The main reason I say this is potentially harmful is that when a man lets his anger build up over a prolonged period of time, it eventually becomes a bomb, ready to explode at any moment. This anger could appear at any time and be redirected toward anything, such as cars, other people, or objects in the home. After the birth of my first child, I had to learn to develop constructive ways to express my anger. One of those ways was to go off alone, count to ten, and think about what made me angry. After discovering the root of my anger, I often asked myself, “Will it do me or anyone else any good to be angry?” and “Will being angry do anything to solve the problem?” » and the answer to these two questions. it was generally no. By the time I had started walking and thinking, I was generally no longer angry. Even in light of these habits, I believe the worst habit is my use of foul language. I know “four letter words” are just a sign of a limited vocabulary, but old habits die hard. I think I got better after my son was born, as he seemed to be able to repeat the "s" word more clearly than he could say "ball" and usually at the most inopportune moments..
