character and produce our ‎ effectiveness or ineffectiveness.‎ As Horace Mann，the great educator，once 23 it，“Habits are like a rope.We weave a string of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his 24 .I know habits can be learned and unlearned.But I also know it isn’t a(n) 25 fix.It involves a 26 and a faithful commitment.‎ Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo Ⅱ were quite amazed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to the earth. 27 to get there，those astronauts obviously had to break out of the huge gravity pull of the earth. 28 energy was spent in the first few minutes of 29 in the first few miles of travel than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.‎ Habits， 30 ，have huge gravity pull more than most people realize or would 31 .Breaking deeply 32 habits such as delay，hesitation，impatience or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness 33 more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives.“Lift off” 34 a great effort，but once we break out of the gravity pull，our freedom 35 a whole new dimension.‎ ‎ 36 any natural force，gravity can work 37 us or against us.The gravity pull of some of our habits may 38 be keeping us from going where we want to go.But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together，that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order.It is a powerful force，and if we use it effectively，we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cooperation and 39 necessary to
