Something to brush-off my boredom!

Travelling alone is one thing, but being alone and yet being stuck at the airport due to the 're-time' of our flight is something which most people hated!!!

If the information came in earlier before our check-in then the situation would be fine. We would have just drove back home. But, this time round, all the passengers are already waiting in line, queuing to board the plane and its just a matter of twenty minutes before flight time, that an announcement came saying that the plane from another destination is not arriving due to some problems, so the flight have to be re-time to two and a half hours later. Where could we go????? No where as we are all in the departure hall!

The waiting time is always the hardest, though I manage to make new friends and off course something to munch and a cup of Cappucino to help me stay alert!

Article for sharing - HABIT! [Final]

A New Outlook Needed

Changing bad habits often demands living different patterns of life. It usually requires a totally different outlook on life, a sharp redefining of what is most important in life.

Breaking damaging habits means seriously asking, perhaps for the first time, "What is the true purpose of life?" You will need to understand what character really is and its importance in successful living.

Character is coming to know right from wrong, good from bad. It means admitting when you are wrong and turning from the wrong. It means determining, despite all difficult circumstances, to do the right instead of the wrong. That means a person must mobilize all available resources to conquer a bad habit. Overcoming bad habits is one of life's supreme challenges!

You have to ask yourself squarely, "Is being a slave to a bad habit--damaging my mental or physical health?"

Some might say, "But my bad habits are not my fault!" Perhaps that is true, particularly if patterns started in early years of life under wrong influences or from ignorance.

But the fact is, there was a time when habits were within our control, but we permitted them to reach a point where they became out of control. In other words, we caused them to develop; conversely we can cause them to disappear.

There are many kinds of annoying habits. Perhaps not all are necessarily great faults, but then again, maybe they could be. Such could be chewing food with one's mouth open or talking with food in one's mouth. Frequent body odor in social situations from not enough bathing reveals a lack of sense of decorum or lack of concern for oneself or others. Certain individuals develop the habit of lying, of exaggerating or cursing.

A mature person realizes humans are creatures of habits--good habits, bad habits. He never condones bad habits. He knows he cannot change anyone who does not want to change them. He will, however, try to set an example by overcoming bad habits in his own life. He will encourage others who are trying to change bad habits in their lives, realizing given similar circumstances or experiences he could have similar problems.

What kind of habits do you instill in your life???
