（55）When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. (56)  Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them.
(57)  Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. (58) Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided.
