I'm back again. FINALLY done with my work.. for now. Haha.
Here are some jokes:
WHAT is it that's hard to break??? Diamonds are hard to find but not hard to Break.
What is the hardest thing to break then?
The answer is: H A B I T!
If you break the H, you still have A BIT. If you break the A, you still have BIT. If you break the B, you still have IT!
Hey, after you break the T in IT, there is still the 'I'.
And that (I) is the root cause of all the problems. Isn’t it right?! Now you know why HABIT is so hard to break….
