Life-Habit


Habit means an action or pattern of behavior that is repeated so often that it become typical of somebody, although he or she may be unaware of it. In psychology, any regularly repeated behavior that requires little or no thought and is learned rather than innate. Some habits (e.g., tying a shoelace) may conserve higher mental processes for more demanding tasks, but others promote behavioral inflexibility or are unhealthy.
We have a lot of different kind of habits. For instance, habits of eating, drinking, sleeping, smoking and making exercise are some of them. Some habits have positive effect on our life and very helpful for having happy and successful life. In other hand, some of these habits are very negative for us.
Therefore changing the environment is very useful to rid our life of the bad habits. But only the new environment is not enough for elimination from the habits. So it is depends on you completely. It is require changing the way of thinking about it and practicing hard for replacing the old response with a new. It is fantastic if we can design our habit life in the healthily and successful manner. Finally do not forget to share your experiences with other friends for having happier life…

Teeth



This is my advice to my friends after lots of time to believe them:
Our teeth are important parts of our body. But It is not difficult to protect them if you are not lazy. Below are my valuable and expensive experiences about teeth which I share them with you:
First of all and the most important my experience is flossing the teeth at least one time per day. It is most effective than any other methods to protect teeth. I did not believe it until now, and I had some dental cavities and loss lot of money.
The second one is do not drink very cold or hot. I know it is very enjoyable to drink cold water in summer and hot drink in winter but it has lots of negative affects in your teeth. Finally, do not bite very hard food such as nuts. It causes the teeth are cracked and if it happened may be you loss your teeth easily…

Perception



Some people in the world, they do not like number four (4). That is why, I some time get confuse which I am in the right level of building or not in here.
They changed number 4 to 3A!!
Our world is full of these kinds of perceptions and settings. We should be flexible in our life and beliefs. Arguing about these kinds of symbols in our life just cause we forget about real life.
Who knows may be its better to change number 4 to 3A. Take it easy…
