It is very easy to acquire bad habits, such as eating too many sweets or too much
food, or drinking too much fluid of any kind, or smoking. The more we do a thing, the
more we tend to like doing it; and, if we do not continue to do it, we feel unhappy.
This is called the force of habit, and the force of habit should be fought against.
Things, which may be very good, when only done from time to time, tend to
become very harmful when done too often and too much. This applies even to such good
things as work or rest. People form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling
too much. The Wiseman always remembers that this is true about himself and checks any
bad habit. He says to himself, ?I am now becoming idle?, or ?I like too many sweets?, or
?I smoke too much?, and then adds, ?I will get myself out of this bad habit at once?.
One of the mostly spread of bad habits is the use of tobacco. Tobacco is now
smoked or chewed by men, often by women, and even by children, almost all over the
world. It was brought into Europe to America by Sir Walter Raleigh, four centuries ago
and has thence spread everywhere. It is very much doubtful whether there is any good in
the habit, even when tobacco is not used too excess; and it is extremely difficult to get rid
of the habit when once it has been formed.
Alcohol is taken in almost all cool and cold climates and to a very much less extent
in hot ones. Thus, it is taken by people who live in the Himalaya Mountains, but not nearly
so much by those who live in the plains of India. Alcohol is not necessary in any way to
anybody. Millions of people are beginning to do without it entirely; and once the United
States of America have passed laws, which forbid its manufacture or sale throughout the
length and breadth of their vast country. In India it is not required by the people at all and
should be avoided by them altogether. The regular use of alcohol, even in small quantities,
tends to cause mischief in many ways to various organs of the body. It affects the liver; it
weakens the mental powers, and lessens the general energy of the body.
V. Letter Writing: (1 x 10 = 10)
Write a letter to the Municipal Authorities to clear and clean your street, covered
everywhere with stagnant Drainage water.
VI. Write an essay in about 350 words on ONE of topic given below: (1 x 15 = 15)
1. A fight against Child labour.
2. Empowerment of Women.
