Almost everything we do, whether good or bad, becomes a habit. One can train the mind so that only good habits will be formed. On
the other hand, by thinking evil thoughts over and over again and by saying and doing evil things repeatedly, one can form bad habits. Most of our habits are fixed before we reach the age of twenty-five. How important, then, that children and youth be properly trained. They should be taught to think of things that are true and honest, just and pure, and of good report.
In this way a noble character will be developed. If good mental and physical habits are formed, disease will be more easily avoided, and a long, useful life will be more certain of attainment.
