I have one little suggestion for you. Pick out the person in the class that you admire the most. >> [music] >> And then write down why you admire them. Put down a list of qualities. Uh you're not to name yourself in this. And uh And then put down the the one uh that frankly you could stand the least in the whole group. And put the put down the qualities that [music] uh that uh uh turn you off in that person. And look at that list and and you won't find it's a bunch of things like throwing a football 70 yd or you know or anything of the sort. [music] The qualities of the first one that you admire are qualities that that uh you with a little practice uh can make your own and which >> [music] >> if practiced will become habit-forming. The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they're too heavy to be broken. I mean, >> [music] >> my age I can't
change any of my habits. I mean, I'm stuck. But at your age, you know, you will have the habits 20 years from now that you decide to put into practice today. So I just suggest that that you >> [music] >> you look at the habits you admire in others or the behavior you admire in others and and make those your own uh habits and you look at >> [music] >> at what you really find uh uh somewhat reprehensible in others and just decide, you know, those are things you're not going to do. Ben Franklin did that a few hundred [music] years ago and it still works today.
