If You Want To Do

Change Might Not Be Fast And It Isn't Always Easy. But With Time And Effort, Almost Any Habit Can Be Reshaped.

A Movement Starts Because Of The Social Habits Of Friendship And The Strong Ties Between Close Acquaintances. It Grows Because Of The Habits Of A Community, And The Weak Ties That Hold Neighborhoods And Clans Together. And It Endures Because A Movement's Leaders Give Participants New Habits That Create A Fresh Sense Of Identity And A Feeling Of Ownership.

When A Habit Emerges, The Brain Stops Fully Participating In Decision Making. It Stops Working So Hard, Or Diverts Focus To Other Tasks. So Unless You Deliberately Fight A Habit -- Unless You Find New Routines -- The Pattern Will Unfold Automatically.

Self-discipline Has A Bigger Effect On Academic Performance Than Does Intellectual Talent.

When People Have A Willpower Failure, It's Because They Haven't Anticipated A Situation That's Going To Come Along.
