Re: Habits…
I cut back on the speeding after having received my first ever ticket several months ago. However, slow drivers make me very angry. I’m not a spendthrift, nor an impulse-buyer. Some believe I spend more on others than my own zaat. I do have the worst consumers’ luck though. The things I want are either sold-out or will eventually be discontinued. I’ve never crossed my credit card limit. I have a mental block with that and debts as well. Alhumdolillah that it’s a rare occurrence, but should I so much as borrow a paltry amount from an immediate family member, I’ll make sure to return it as soon as possible. I feel uncomfortable with things like that hanging over my head. I don’t check my phone as often as I should; hence I will see texts from coworkers …much, much later. My phone is often on the verge of dying; many times when I’m out and about which is the worst time for that to happen. I am also guilty of excessive Internet browsing. I tend to weigh my words; I do reflect over their potential consequences. I worry about the future and can remain stuck in the past; I need to stay in the present. I don’t know if I’m funny, but I have a sarcastic sense of humor and occasionally it gets me into trouble. And for this reason, I’ve always preferred teaching older kids because they can understand and handle that wry humor. The little ones would cry!
Good habits: I tend to be conscious of language both written and spoken (unless you’re Bob or Bob-like). For the most part, I don’t curse. Not when I break a nail, not even when I got into a really bad car accident last year. I don’t like this habit in others either; it turns me off regardless of gender. I have this theory that when one becomes careless about language…then eventually other areas of their life will unravel, too. I can place myself in the shoes of others and apologize for my mistakes.
