Q.45-50)

Read RC Passage to Answer:

Let us look at what you can do to eliminate a destructive habit. whether it is obesity, ‘habitually being late, profanity, smoking, having a short temper or alcoholism. The first and foremost thing you must do is to decide that you want to eliminate the habit. That is a decision you and only you can make. Without this motivation on your part, no person or procedure will have any significant impact. If someone else “talks you into it” the chances are strong you will perhaps start but the effort will be short lived. Remember. you generally don’t reach someone else’s goal. Many times you end up further behind than you would have been had you not attempted to quit a habit which you were not ready to give up. For example, weight lost and regained. So first and most importantly, decide you no longer are going to be a slave to any destructive habit. Decide you want to have control of your life, that ‘you want to be free, that you want to do things with your life instead of having things done to ‘your life. It is tougher, much tougher to quit a bad habit, but fortunately the results are fun and much more rewarding. Former smokers, alcoholics and fatfolks unanimously — and in glowing terms — give us exhaustive etails concerning the joy and excitement of shedding those pounds, giving up the need, and getting of the bottle. The ex-smoker talks about the exciting taste of the food-the clean smell of the air, clothes, furniture, among others. The talk about the new found self-respect and satisfaction from whipping a habit that would have taken from two to ten years of their lives, and a lot of living out of their lives.

[1] External persuasion

[2] Social acceptance

[4] Self resolve

Correct Answer: 4

[3] Transient
