“When should I begin to acquire good habits?”a young boy asked his teacher.

    “How old are you?” asked the teacher.

    “Eight years old, sir.”answered the boy.

    “Then you have just lost eight years,”the teacher replied.

    There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age. When one is young, it is easy to acquire good habits.

    Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life. The habit of brushing one's teeth in the morning, for instance, keeps one's teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others. Bad habits such as sticking one's tongue out, biting one's fingernails and picking one's nose, are undesirable ways of behaving in front of others. If we want people to enjoy being with us, we should try to develop habits that are pleasant.

    It is said, “We sow an act; we reap a habit. We sow a habit and we reap a character.” The habits we formed at an early age shape our character. Habits are like tributaries(支流) which flow into a river. The river is made up of all its tributaries; a person's character is made up of all the habits that he or she has acquired over the years.
