System Important Habit

One of the most important habits to form Is that of system. It is a habit natural to some women, but to most 1t is an acquired one. It is generally a cultivated virtue, achieved through dogged persistence and in spite of many a falling from grace. Some of the most systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing. It is best to begin to be systematic when one is young, but there is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedi able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of want of system and save oneself needless inconven. fences and increase ones usefulness to other people.-Exchan9e.
