Interaction
with Failures
Part-8
Mr.
Habit:
What habits of yours has resulted in your downfall?
John:
Gambling and betting
Mr.
Habit:
How often do you engage in it?
John:
During my non-business hours
Mr.
Habit:
have you earned money
John:
Yes, but less than what I have lost
Mr.
Habit smiles, you lost more than, you earned
John:
You told it straight
Mr.
Habit: What measure did you take, to overcome the habit?
John:
Nothing
much, it stopped when I didn’t have money
Mr.
Habit: Am I right in understanding that you had multiple
businesses?
John:
Yes, I did have multiple business but I started closing one by one
Mr.
Habit: can you
mentally work out how much you would have lost in Gambling?
John thinks for a while and notes down in a piece of
paper
Mr.
Habit: Can you write down the business in which you
invested the least but earned more
John does some calculation and write down the
figures
Mr.
Habit: Now compare the figures between your business and
Gambling to identify which has earned more
John:
My business has earned more than Gambling
Mr.
Habit: From where did you get money for Gambling/betting
John:
It was from my business
Mr.
Habit: If you would have invested the same money in your
business, do you think you would have earned more money than gambling/betting
John:
Yes, I would have but there is no fun and thrill in leading such a life
Mr.
Habit: I do agree you need to have fun but not to the
extent of ruining your business and life
John:
You are right, I should have fixed a limit
Mr.
Habit: Rely on your efforts not on your luck, take risk in
your business using your intelligence, hard work, contacts etc. Gambling and
betting are not your business, neither you have a control nor say in it.
John thinks deeply on what Mr. Habit said and asks
how do I come out of these kinds of habits
Mr.
Habit: From the
conversation I understood that you didn’t know how to use your free time, that
forced you towards gambling /betting
John:
Yes, I do agree with you
Mr.
Habit: New habit kills old habits
John:
so, I should engage in a new hobby which will give me fun and help me relax
Mr.
Habit: But, ensure you don’t get addicted to it, remember “Habits
determines your success”
Mr.
Habit: John, can you share your insights
John:
I need to start a new hobby
Mr. Habit disappears and a new habit flashes in John’s
mind
John closes his eyes for few minutes and opens his
eyes and sees Mr. Anger
