問題詳情:
Our character, 41 , is a combination of our habits. “Sow a thought, harvest an action; sow an action, harvest a habit; sow a habit, harvest a character; sow a character, harvest a42 ,” the saying goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious 43 , they constantly, daily express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann, the great educator, once 44 it, “Habits are like a rope. We weave a string of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his 45 . I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn’t a(an) 46 fix. It involves a 47 and a faithful commitment.

Habits, 51 ,have huge gravity pull more than most people realize or would 52 . Breaking deeply 53 habits such as delay, hesitation, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness 54 more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” 55 a great effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom 56 a whole new dimension.
57 any natural force, gravity can work 58 us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may 59 be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity that pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cooperation and 60 necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
