People says that old habits die hard, well, is the habit ain't dying or are we the one that are dying not wanting to let it go?
It is true to say that habits are formed when we are young, therefore children education are very important. That's why, do not blame your parents for having such stringent rules on you when you are young. They may sound nagging when it comes to getting your homework done, getting home before the sun sets, banning on television programmes or etc.
However, no matter hard is it to break a habit, with enough resolution, it is still breakable. So, when things don't go the way you want it to, don't blame it on your habits, it's actually you yourself that did not go breaking those old bad habits.
Why not check out what bad habits you have, maybe it's time to go breaking them!

environmental consiousness
The conversation just seems to strike up from nowhere. As we were having our usual chat over lunch, suddenly we are into the environmental issue. It might due to the hot weather recently or the haze or because of the fruits packed in plastic bag that we were eating!
Everyone, I believed almost everyone, is now aware of the environmental issues that were brought up over all these years. Thanks to the environmentalists who have been trying so hard to raise the awareness among us. We have been hearing on terms like green house effect, global warming, recycling, endangered species, pollution and etc.
However, even if we do have the tiny bit of awareness in us, do we actually take any action on it? That's a good question that my friend had brought up at the chat. Having the awareness is actually not enough. It is the action that will really help in saving our environment. Although you might think that the action from you alone might not have much impact on the environment, but if everyone thinks the same way, then there will be huge adverse impact on the earth.
It indeed will take a long time for the everyone to change, to do their environmental bit daily, to save the earth. But there are people who have started doing it already. You might not get used to it at first, or you might seems to be the odd one out among your peers. However, if what you are doing is right, why bothers about what others think?
Hence, just a question, have you done your bit for the environment today?
Walking the talk.

happy teachers' day
Can you recall what your teacher had taught you in your schooling days?
It seems like so long ago since I last celebrated Teachers' Day. I had came across an article in the newspaper today which somehow makes me think. What had we actually gained from our teachers?
Well, of course, along your path in your life, we'll meet someone who became our teacher in some way. Teacher teaches, so, whoever taught us something can be considered as a teacher, I guess. But let's just talk about teachers that had crossed our path back in our schooling days.
Does it sounds silly if I say that I could not recall at all what my teacher had taught me regarding how the chemicals react to each other, but I could remember so clearly what he told us on how he lose his weight!
Teachers really played a large role in our growing up days. They are as important as our parents as they are the ones that we spent our time with, when we are in school. And we actually spent at least one forth of a day in school.
However, if you noticed, we would not have a teacher for a long period of time. A year or two the most. The bond between the teachers and us will just gone by after the year. Therefore, sometimes we can hardly feel that we really know a teacher well and vice versa.
I always believed that teacher does more than teaching. A good teacher does not only teaches on the subjects for examination, but also teaches the way of becoming a good student, a good child to parents, a good citizen to contribute back to the country and also a responsible being.
So, it's the very least that we can do, which is to wish our teachers - Happy Teachers' Day!
To all my teachers, although I cannot say that I remembered every single thing that you had taught me, and neither can I say that I had applied well on everything you taught me, but I am really grateful of having you as my teacher.
Looking back, those days may seem to be fleeting moments, but memories left behind are priceless indeed.
p/s: I like the comment stated in the article, which says something like this, 'Malaysian has the habit of celebrating an event for a whole month, so it's still not late to wish - HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!'
