These last few days, I've had a thought. With all the things on my mind, I've been smoking more. I've lost count of how many times I've said I'll quit smoking. What's strange is that every time I light up and think about my glorious moments and the years gone by, I try to convince myself not to do it, but my heart still wants to. Smoking increases the pressure, but some people can relieve stress without smoking. Why do I need to smoke to relax? It seems like I'm in the habit of doing this – enjoying the pleasure while also acknowledging it's not good. I don't want it; I want to quit. When it comes to bad habits, I suddenly wonder, "Which is harder to quit: smoking or gambling?" The harmful effects of smoking are well-known. Each time I buy a pack of cigarettes, the packaging shows me those horrific images. But do smokers really pay attention to those pictures on the outside of the pack? Smokers probably don't care about the images, do they? Both smoking and gambling are known to be harmful, but we continue to pursue them despite the known risks. To sum it up, which do you feel is easier to quit: smoking or gambling? How difficult is it to quit smoking or quit gambling? These are both habits, and habits are the hardest things to break. In fact, quitting smoking and drinking are all forms of entertainment. If there is no entertainment in my life, what is it for? You're a customer and think businesses are making a fortune. You're a business owner and feel customers are demanding. You're the boss, and you want hardworking employees. You're an employee, and you hope for a lenient boss. Nobody is wrong; it's just a matter of perspective. |
