Earlier the Better

Deepak was an indisciplined boy with many bad habits. He would watch TV hours on end, or be meddling with a mobile. On holidays he would get up very late and wouldn’t go for a bath till his mother pushed him into the bathroom. His father tried his level best to cure him of his bad habits but failed. Then he decided to send Deepak to his father during vacation.

Deepak was happy to be with his grandfather who was a practical man and told him lot of stories. One day his grandfather took him trekking into a hilly forest. As they were walking discussing the birds and plants, Deepak’s grandfather asked him to pull up a grass, which he promptly did. After a few steps he was asked to dig up a plant. Which was easy for Deepak. After a short distance grandfather pointed to a shrub and asked Deepak to uproot it. Deepak hugged the shrub and oops! It wouldn’t give way. After a long and hard struggle finally it was done. Deepak was profusely sweating. Then it was a tree. Deepak couldn’t even shake the tree.

Grandfather explained to Deepak. Bad habits are like that. The earlier you start working on them the better. Later on, when they take root, it is next to impossible to get rid of them. Deepak simply said, “Help me thatha.”

Thatha started waking him up 15 minutes earlier and cut down his TV time by half an hour. It wasn’t a strain for Deepak. Gradually he learned good habits and felt proud of himself. Note down your bad habits today and start tackling them one by one.
