HABIT
Habit is a fixed series of acts
' to a thing once and Tracks
i are marked. Do a thing twice
land a Route is mapped. Do a
thing thrive and a Path is
! blazed.
Do the Right thing over again
From the unconscious wink
of the eye to the smooth, un
noticed movement of a million
worlds, the law of Habit re
’entlessly rules its course. All'
.ife is but a series of Habits.
Do the right thing over again.
The Pennies saved today
make Nickels in the bank to
morrow. The Nickels in the
bank tomorrow spell the Dol
lars in the bank next year. The
Dollars saved, crystalize into
the Fortune after the years!
Habit either makes or breaks—
either leads you up or drags
you down.
Do the right thing over again.
If you are Prompt today you
will want to be Prompt tomor
row. If you are Square once
you will surely seek for a thing
Worth While right now can
not help but ease the fight for
the thing Worth While later on
It is the law of Habit. And
Habit creeps on from the min
utest Action repeated over and
over again.
Do the right thing over again.
Grow Great off of Habit!
There is no other way. Start
what you do start—Right. Or
else begin all ever again. You ■
can fondle the eggs of a Py thon
but you can't plav with the ;
Python. You can break the bad
habit today, but if you wait un
til tomorrow the bad Habit will
break you.
Do the right thing over again.
