We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.

Here are 10 Habits that have helped me to learn and grow better.

- Helps me with a quick recollection of thoughts/preparing minutes.

- Also, a nice time for some light chit chat with friends.

3. Writing Everyday

- Writing is a powerful tool for thinking.
- It helps me to put my thoughts and preserve them for later.
- This habit has also helped me to write some books.
