I missed my weekly deadline to post a new post. I missed my first week of May blog... This is so typical of me you know... putting things off until the very last minute. I always find excuses not to do things. When am I going to change?
The question is not "when am I going to change?", but "am I ever going to change?". People say that old habits die hard... and I believe in that to some extents. Once, someone told me that it is going to be hard for someone to change his routine or habits once he has reached half of his lifetime... which means, if you are 25 years and above, it is likely that you will die with the habits or routine that you have incalculated in you for the first 25 years of your life.
Like I said, I believe in that to some extents. For instance, if in the first 25 years of your life, you have never been serious about praying 5 times a day as a Muslim, it's going to be very hard for you to start in the later years of your life. I have real life examples on this you know... That's how I draw this conclusion. But at the same time, I also believe that if you have great willpower, you can change yourself, no matter how hard it is and how long it will take you. I have also witnessed this in some people.
It's funny you know... with that realisation, I still have difficulties in changing some of my bad habits... like putting things off till the last minute... hehehhee... I suppose old habits do die hard... and I really really really need strong willpower to change that habit of mine...
