On ego and habits...

Today during the English period with my 7th std children, I had given a dictation test. A girl student topped the test. Two back benchers ( boys) were shocked that she had outsmarted them.

I told them that it was not surprising as she is a voracious reader! Moreover she always made it a point to converse in English at school. It was her good habit that had helped her..

One of the boys( his ego being bruised) commented that he would someday do well and that he just needed more time. This is a common refrain I hear from many!

Often our ego tells us we are not ready as we are not yet perfect, is it not! It is a mere excuse on the part of the ego! It is trapping us from making us being more responsible!

In fact simple, good habits would enrich our lives. Good habits would also help in tapping our potential!
