April 15th -- Proverbs 25 GOOD HABITS |
||||||||||||||
ONE of the best business exhortations I ever read was on the subject of habits. It was not merely a condemnation of bad habits on the lines of ordinary moral maxims. It pointed out that habits of many kinds may be developed; and the subconscious powers of the brain furnish us with a whole army of servants, which may be so well trained as to become most efficient helps, or so mismanaged as to become our masters. Cultivate good habits, and the higher part of the brain is left free to perform the work which it alone can accomplish. The right thing is done at the right time as a matter of routine, regular duties are performed with the same instinctive certainty that calls us to the breakfast table in the morning, and the higher part of the brain is able to devote itself more thoroughly to the realm of pure thought.
