habits [Theme] Page 3
Habit is such a thing. Incurable.
The delusions of a sage are positively more instructive than the truths of a fool. For the wise soar in the elevated regions, from where everything can be seen far away, the foolish tramples along the low beaten paths.
I'm not used to being loved. On the other hand, I'm already used to being hated.
People are used to living with light.
Only the habit of systematization, thoughts is the only way to find happiness. To achieve happiness requires order in everything - even the smallest things.
Do not lose independence. It all started with the loss of independence in the details. Do not pay attention to them - and suddenly become entangled in the networks of habit. It has many names. Love is one of them. You shouldn't get used to anything. Even to a woman's body.
Evolutionary ethics explains, but does not justify, our innate tendencies. Fortunately, evolution has also given man a mind, and therefore we can and must rise above our biological roots and revise the outdated ethical framework that evolution imposed on our ancestors. What is appropriate for the propagation of genes in Stone Age hunters is not suitable for a thinking civilized being. Evolutionary ethics warns us that we have an innate tendency to divide people into ours and strangers, and to feel disgust and dislike for strangers. We, as intelligent beings, must understand and overcome this.
Habits don't change.
Pushkin loved the people exactly as the people demand, and he did not guess how to love the people, did not prepare, did not study: he himself suddenly turned out to be the people. He bowed before the truth of the people, he recognized the truth of the people as his own. Despite all the vices of the people and many of its stinking habits, he was able to discern the great essence of his spirit when no one almost looked at the people like that, and took this essence of the people into his soul as an ideal. And this was when the most humane and European-developed lovers of the Russian people frankly regretted that our people were so low that they could not rise to the level of the Parisian street crowd. In fact, these amateurs have always despised the people.
Shame is the habit, when the soul or flesh is exposed, to weigh the impression that you evoke in the beholder.
The brain retains habits even when they are no longer useful.
Someday someone will love all those cute little things of yours.
A person gets used to everything. No matter how hard it may be for an ambitious person to endure obscurity, one can also get used to it.
Our dust will tremble, and again we will become a couple in love.
If you think that at this rate you will not achieve anything, I advise you to carefully look at a simple formula: 0.99 to the power of 365 = 0.03 0.01 to the power of 365 = 37.8 For some time these numbers hung in a frame above the desktop. By improving something by as little as 1% a day, you'll achieve a nearly 38-fold increase in efficiency in a year! Conversely, a seemingly imperceptible deterioration of 1% from day to day will quickly lead to disastrous results. For a year, the difference between "a little better" and "a little worse" is more than a thousand times! As you can see, the cumulative effect is both effective and dangerous. A lot depends on how you use it. Instead of setting yourself a high bar from the first day of habit formation, start small and gradually increase the complexity.
