It is easier to go downhill than to climb uphill. So it
is easier to fall into bad habits than into good ones. Bad habits do not come
suddenly. They come little by little without one being aware of their danger.
School boys first pick up little bad habits in school and on the street. When
they can't write their lessons, they copy from their schoolmates. If they see
bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. If they see their
friends gambling they want to gamble. When they get bigger, the habits become
stronger and stronger so that they can no longer get rid of them. From copying
they learn to steal, from gambling, they learn to cheat. At last they become
suspected by everybody. How necessary it is that we get rid of the bad habits
in the beginning!
