1. GOOD MANNERS & HABITS
Course: Diploma
Subject: English Communication and Life Skills
Unit: 4
2. What are good habits?
⢠Habits are routine behaviors done on a regular basis.
⢠Have you observed what are your habits?
⢠Which tasks other than routine ones do you normally
do as a habit?
⢠Actions when repeated frequently become habits.
⢠Mostly habits are formed unconsciously. We donât
realize we are doing them.
⢠Habits define our character, our thoughts and feelings
and our âusualâ behaviors.
3. ⢠A habit can also be an addiction.
⢠Addictions include a range of
compulsive behaviors such as
gambling, eating, shopping,
playing videogames, work and
internet usage.
⢠It has been rightly said that habit
is second nature. That is, what we
do often today, we will soon
begin to do always tomorrow, and
thus the habit will grow to be a
part of our natural self.
4. ⢠We should be very careful
about forming our habits.
⢠Some are in the habit of
forgetting to do things or of
mislaying things.
⢠Some have a habit for being
always late ; some of giving
up a job after the first
attempt.
⢠Some are habitual late-
risers; others are always
slow; habit causes loss to
oneself and irritates others.
5. ⢠Character is nothing but a
bundle of habits.
⢠Habit, when it hardens,
becomes the dominant
trait of the character.
⢠Excellence of character is
nothing but a bundle of
excellent habits.
⢠Habits affect our mind
and body.
⢠A person with good habits
is likely to have strong
self-control.
6. Significance of Good habits
⢠âHabits are either the best of
servants or the worst of mastersâ.
This saying rightfully tells that
there are good as well as bad
habits.
⢠Habits are routines of behavior
that are repeated regularly and
often subconsciously. With each
repetition there is an increased
automaticity in the behavior.
Scientifically, it takes about three
weeks to establish or break a
habit.
7. ⢠âThe easier it is to do, the
harder it is to changeâ. The
same can be said of good
habits too. Most of the
good habits are perceived
to be difficult, for example,
getting up early in the
morning, eating healthy
food, brushing after every
meal, going for a walk, etc.
A good habit always begins
with motivation. For
children, sometimes, it
may even require
incentives. Only
perseverance will convert
those repeated acts to a
habit.
⢠Habits, inculcated from a
very early age, determine
a personâs character.
Good habits make a good
individual. Good
individuals are necessary
for the development of
the society and nation.
8. Various kinds of good habits
⢠Good habits serve you well
whether you are a parent,
student, entrepreneur or just a
regular person. Learning these
habits now will help everyone
get ahead in life.
1. Get on a good schedule.
We need structure and routine
in our lives. Our bodies expect
it. They perform best when we
operate on a regular schedule.
We especially need to eat and
sleep about the same time each
day. Find a schedule that works
for you and stick to it!
9. 2. Eat a healthy diet.
Our brains need the right food
to perform at their peak.
Donât go to college or work on
an empty stomach. Students
need to train themselves early
to eat a balanced and healthy
diet. We tend to carry the
habits we learn when we are
young forward with us for
most of our lives. Learning to
eat right now can avoid many
health issues down the road.
3. Learn to exercise.
We need physical activity to
stay healthy. We need to find
exercise routines that are fun
and match our individual
tastes. Developing a good
exercise routine is a habit that
will increase both the
quantity and quality of your
life.
10. 4. Practice gratitude.
It is so easy to get in the bad
habit of envying what others
have. We should recall the
good things that happen
every day. We should then
take a few minutes and give
thanks for those things. This
helps us to train ourselves to
be grateful.
5. Develop good
study/learning habits.
Studying effectively is a skill.
People who live life to the
fullest are lifelong learners.
They never stop trying new
things. One needs to study
and gather new knowledge in
an effective and efficient
manner. Learning how to
study and acquire the
knowledge to succeed doesnât
just occur naturally. It needs to
be developed.
11. 6. Never give up!
âWinners never quit and
quitters never win.â It takes
perseverance in life to enjoy
any kind of success.
Perseverance is a habit. It is
one that can be developed
just like any other.
7. Manage money wisely.
Students need to learn to
earn, save, budget, track, and
wisely spend money to be
successful in life.
8. Strive for excellence!
Why do a job if you arenât
going to do it right? We need
to develop the habit of giving
every task our best effort.
Excellence should be the
standard we strive for in all
we do.
12. 9. Practice good hygiene.
You really can dress for
success! Habits like brushing
your teeth twice a day and
washing your hands regularly
not only contribute to health,
but also lead to routines that
give one a sharper
appearance.
10. Always tell the truth!
The truth often comes out
whether we want it to or not.
Lying generally just
complicates the situation and
makes us look bad. It is much
better to just develop the
habit of telling the truth even
when it is difficult. This will
save you a lot of heartache
and misery in life.
13. 11. Be a regular reader.
Becoming a good reader takes
practice. The more you read
and are read to, the better
you get. Reading has
numerous benefits. It builds
oneâs vocabulary, expands the
imagination, and rekindles
creativity. Make reading a
routine!
12. Be punctual.
Arriving on time is important
to oneâs success. People
always notice when you are
late. It is an indicator of
whether you mean what you
say and can be trusted. Do
not introduce doubt about
this into peopleâs minds by
showing up later than
expected. Create the habit of
being punctual now and you
wonât have to worry.
14. 13. Respect authority.
Failure to respect those in
authority positions can lead
to all kinds of problems in life.
It doesnât matter whether it is
your boss, a senior, or a
teacher. People in authority
have a job to do and often
worked hard to get into the
position they are in. They
deserve to be treated with
proper manners and
reverence. Learning to say,
âYes maâamâ and âYes sirâ will
get you noticed in a positive
way.
15. Ways to develop good habits
1) Repetition â
Habits can be healthy or
unhealthy. Through repeti-
tion, you can replace your bad
habits with good habits.
2) Prepare a to-do list
everyday â
Preparing a to-do list gives us
clarity in mind regarding what
our tasks for the day are. It
eventually helps us become
punctual and organized too.
16. 3) Build your habits into
a routine â
Find ways to build your new
habit into your routine. Block
out a regular time for it in
your schedule, so that you
can give your positive habit
your full attention.
4) Develop Self-
Discipline â
Self-Control over your
thoughts and actions and
discipline in executing it can
surely help develop and
sustain good habits.
17. 5) Start Simple â
Donât try to completely
change your life in one day.
It is easy to get over-
motivated and take on too
much. If you wanted to
study two hours a day, first
make the habit to go for
thirty minutes and build on
that.
6) Remove Temptation â
Restructure your
environment so that it wonât
tempt you in the first thirty
days. Remove junk food from
your house, cancel your cable
subscription, throw out the
cigarettes so you wonât need
to struggle with willpower
later.
18. Five habits you must quit to be happy
Happiness is a choice that can accompany you during the
whole âjourneyâ and depends entirely and only on you. You
can experience happiness every second of every day! But
sometime we have âbadâ attitude or âbadâ habits that can
hinder our joy of life, so, letâs just get rid of them today.
1) Avoid negative self-talk and self-doubt.
Thought is a very powerful tool that we have and it can be
used both in constructive or very destructive ways. The only
person who hears your self talk all day long is you, as well as
the only person who has control over it â is you, as well! So,
donât fight negative thoughts, just replace them with positive
ones!
19. 2) Start taking small steps to accomplish your
goal.
Your goal or âdreamâ might look extremely big and
almost unattainable, but if you break it up on small
or even âtinyâ tasks it will be easier to start moving
into the direction of accomplishment of your
vision. And with the time, all this little steps that
youâve already made will lead to the big and great
change of your life and therefore, to your
happiness!
20. 3) Stop criticizing other people.
Often, we are tempted to notice and word
other peopleâs imperfections, especially when
these people arenât present. But one important
thing to understand is that when you criticize
others you accumulate negative energy inside
your own heart, which can attract negativity
into your life. Letâs just focus on our own
growth and improvement of our own life, so
that we just wonât have time to notice whatâs
wrong with other peopleâs lives. You will notice
21. 4) Quit comparing yourself to others and quit
trying to be someone other than yourself.
Media and television try to impose âalmost
unattainableâ images to us and make us follow
standards that they find attractive. But itâs
impossible to make all people look and be âcertain
wayâ, and it would be extremely boring to live in
the world where everybody would be exactly the
same. Your power is in being yourself, because
there is only one you in the whole wide world!
Somebody will always be taller, smarter, prettier,
22. 5) Stop taking everything you have for granted
and start being thankful instead!
Lifeâs happiness can increase dramatically with the
help of gratitude! Itâs one of the true secrets of a
happy life. Try to do this simple exercise: when you
wake up every morning, try to feel thankful for 3
different things in your life. It can be random, small
or big thing and you donât even need to say it with
words, the key is to feel gratitude inside. (If you are
more comfortable when you âthank out loudâ, do
it!). When you do this âexerciseâ every morning,
23. What is grooming?

and maintaining parts of one's body. â Definition.
⢠Grooming is the process of making yourself neat
and attractive. It is the things which you do to
make yourself and your appearance tidy and

25. What are Good manners/etiquettes?
