Yes, just like these assignments, read and write every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Today&#8217;s situation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>&#8220;We become what we repeatedly do&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0<\/em>Sean Covey in his book <em>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each one of us has some or the other peculiar habits that define us. I, for example, sleep at 9:00 PM(ish) and find it really hard to stay awake beyond 10:00 PM.\u00a0If you have ever lived in a hostel, you can imagine how much fun I must have missed out on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The other habit I have is that I can never say no to a cup of tea, even at 11:00 PM in sleep :). Another common habit that I believe I share with many is that I procrastinate &#8211; always leaving stuff to the last minute, especially the things that I do not enjoy (like course assignments, writing appraisals, making presentations etc.).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A friend of mine, back in college, was known for excessive compulsive hand gestures and movements while speaking. &#8220;<em>Tie his hands if you want to shut him up,<\/em>&#8221; went the joke. :)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In TV series\u00a0<em>Friends<\/em>, Monica had OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder). She was obsessed with things being clean and in an order &#8211; exactly as she wanted. She would not be able to sleep otherwise. Watch the clip below and see for yourself :)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PzXB_1xi--8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Tip<\/em> &#8211; If you are looking to develop a new habit (say exercising regularly, or becoming punctual), just do it for 21 days continuously without fail. After that, it would become naturally ingrained in your subconscious\u00a0and become a habit. Go ahead, try it! There is a\u00a0lot of science behind this advice and it works for most of the people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Question for you<\/span>&#8211; Describe a particular habit that you have and what reactions does it get you from people? Has it ever got you in any trouble or may be helped you?\u00a0Please write your answer (min 100\u00a0words) in the comments below. If you are struggling to think of an answer for yourself, you can write about the peculiar habit of one of your friends or family members too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also read fellow students&#8217; answers but do so only after you have submitted your own answer so that you don&#8217;t get influenced by what others wrote. We also encourage you to\u00a0share your feedback, appreciation and thoughts against\u00a0others&#8217; answers. Remember, it is a community effort and we are all in it together :).
