To throw the old habits away

Well, not all, but one. I've been nurturing this bad habit of asking unneccessary questions to people, especially friends, untill they get irritated. Some of them try to change the topic and some of them try to loosen their slippers.. well literally.

I thought this was not a good asset to have. Especially after colleagues in the office started attaching a 'why' to every sentence of mine. If I ask someone 'Whats your name?', then they would say 'Now the next question is "why is your name like that?"..'.. Guess this is something very serious and can turn me into a laughing stock going forth. Though Thomas Alva Edison was also like this, but he asked questions to himself and got the answers himself too. So now was the time to let go of this bad old habit of mine or never.

Yesterday I resolved not to ask such questions to my colleagues here. I decided, 'I dont know about tomorrow. But today I will not ask such questions to irritate people.' After going through Robin Sharma's blogs and podcasts I guess these ideas of self-improvement creep in by themselves. Anyways, coming to the result, though I did find that daemon lifting his head every now and then, I realised the same everytime he did and took control over the situation. Yesterday was good. But Robin says, do it for 21 days and it becomes a habit. I'm not sure if the same is true with quitting that habit too.. :). Anyways, well begun is half done. So I've won 50% of the battle.
