The poor

I shuffled around in my seat a bit as the guest speaker began.
-Habits of the poor began in personality, as characteristics that have been socialized from peers or parents.

-One who has a habit of putting off what he could do today until tomorrow may be one who is poor.

-Avoidance of bothers, even the most incessant, rather than seeking a solution or starting with action can be a sign as well. Let me give you an example. A friend of yours, someone whom you associate with often has a chronic cough and hacks up mucous on a regular basis. He smokes or has asthma, has something that makes it more complicated for him, and it bothers you until you tell him that you're concerned for his health. He acknowledges your concern sincerely, and you politely ask him why he won't see a doctor for this problem. If the first thing out of his mouth is an excuse, in spite of a problem he'd plainly love to be without, it is a symptom of a poor personality. If the man has no answer or does not know, he needs help.
