So my fellow steemians how are you all, how is your week going and also blogging, how is it really going so far, I hope everything is moving so fine. I really like this very topic and can't really afford to miss it, so my fellow steemians without wasting much of our time let me quickly rush to the questions given or the contest hints. | What is your opinion on habits --------| According to my own understanding on this very word habit. Habit is somehow or our character that is naturally in us, which we can say that is by inheritance or from our parents genetics. But their are some habit that is not inherited while some are inherited. And that is the reason why the advice parents to always leave a good life since from their childhood so that when they will grow up their children will not repeat those things which they have done at their youth age. And if you check well it's really happening to parents, the kind of life the leave at their youth age or the kind of things the put their hands in always affect their offspring and that will come inform of habit and which will be difficult for them to change it in the future. | Are there habits you have that people around you have complained about? Mention them. -----------| Yes of course there is this habit or character I have that people are really complaining about it especially since I start leaving with my Aunty and Uncle, they have been complaining about it and tell me to change it. So the kind of habit I have that they don't like is, they said that am very very gentle that I don't like talking that am always quiet and don't do like somebody that have freedom, or leaving in a comfortable place. Like seriously is true that am not the type that always talk especially when am not with my friends, they will sometimes ask question or discussing something which they will like me to talk and drop my opinion in the discussion but I will still keep calm and not talk. So they will start feeling like this boy why don't you like talking, and the will start asking me some questions like what is the problem are you hungry?, Or don't you like this place? Do you want to go back to your mummy? All this kind of questions they are asking I will still smile and tell them nothing and that used to make them angry and they will start telling me to change that habit that they don't like it at all. And they also think that all of those things that am doing, am just pretending to be a quiet and gentle boy but they don't know that, that is my lifestyle (my habit). Sometimes my aunty will be telling me that all those things I used to do that she used to call it slow poison 🤣 and doing like that does not mean that a child have respect cause she have seen a lot of people that used to do like me but they are the most baddest people on Earth, 😂 whenever she say that I always smile. Even when they call my name I will not even answer my name but I will hear it and start coming and when I come they will stay scolding me that anytime you hear your name answer. So I really realized that they don't like that my habit at all and they wish that I can completely change it, which I cannot do. | What are your the strongest habits that has helped you over the years? ---------| ![images.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPmgGGAVQZABxnWH4nqZ6hYoAF3EHLRuVrBua9JMEGA9F/images.png)[source](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://pixabay.com/illustrations/word-design-typesetting-habit-1833625/&ved=2ahUKEwi3yviwjYKJAxXgTqQEHWS1Fb8Qr4kDegUI6wEQAA&usg=AOvVaw0W9YSBhSlGkF3Zw4FCRm0r) That my habit is the most strongest habit that have helped me a lot in ways like: It have helped me not to get into trouble. Like I said before am so quiet and gently made 😝 lol, I don't used to talk too much or do something that will put me in trouble. Like I don't used to talk too much that also help me to always mind my business and also mind they kind of words that will proceed out of my mouth and also help me to control my anger at all times. And also my gentleness always make me to be going on my own, mind my own business and not to look for trouble. | Do you think habits can be learnt or do you think all the habits we have came from our parents as a result of birth? --------| Okay at first there are some habit that can be learnt, well let me not say some habit let me be more specific in this matter. Habits can be learnt, I believe that habit can be learnt because you know children imitates or learn something very fast as they are growing because they don't still know anything yet, so anything thing that you normally do whether good or bad they may learn from you and start doing it, regardless of whether good or bad, because they don't know anything. While if you come to adulthood some people learn habit while some don't, some people learn bad habit through bad friends while some people learn good habit through good friends or other ways which they learnt from. And of course yes some habit came from our parents as a result of birth (genetics). Some people also because of what their parents have done before at their early youth age, maybe because of money or because of bad friends which the got that time. So those things really affect children's habit and which there will be at least one of their child that will do same like their parents and their parents will not even remember that, this is where this thing is coming from, rather they will be scolding the child telling to stop that bad habit. Like now for instance people believe that of you disobey your parents, when you will grow up, your own children will still disobey you and disturb you a lot more than you disturbed your own parents. While some parents have the habit of stealing, cheating or killing when the were still young, when they will grow up and have their own children some or one or two out of the children will be doing same or even do more than their parents have done. And they parents may think that they learn those attitude or habit from their friends or in school but they will not even remember what they have done in the past that is really affecting their children. | Conclusions --------| ![images (1).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYhSBjDGsNe3NWaP4S1rw5TZYLSRbMCAzbnqrkEjn4H9x/images%20(1).jpeg)[source](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://pixabay.com/images/search/bad%2520habits/&ved=2ahUKEwi3yviwjYKJAxXgTqQEHWS1Fb8Qr4kDegUIvwEQAA&usg=AOvVaw0AeUtubFr9aivK4KOc3TBv) It's very advisable to know the kind of life that we leave cause we are still going to have children that will take our steps, let's create a better future and generation for our selves and children's. And thanks @ruthjoe once again for bringing up this kind of topic keep it up.
