Conclusion A bad person did not begin by doing, saying or thinking things that were really bad. But it began with certain habits that appeared quite harmless initially. With time, however, these certain habits cause the level of badness in the person to increase continually and drastically. Bad habits have two major causes as follows. The first includes recklessness, self-indulgence and insufficient attention to details. These certain habits cause one to make mistakes in matters which one deems to be unimportant. The second includes immoderation in the consumption of the four necessities in one’s personal life as well as in one’s professional life. Recklessness, self-indulgence and insufficient attention to details lead to immoderation. Immoderation leads to bad habits. Bad habits lead to bad deeds. And bad deeds make one a bad person. These five rooms of life are the places where we perform our different activities every day of our life. These activities influence our habits. And our habits influence the level of our success and happiness. These five rooms include the bedroom, bathroom, dining room, dressing room and office. If we endeavor to perform our activities in these rooms in a responsible and mindful manner, we will end up with good habits. And our good habits will enable us to develop further and further as a human being until there is no end to the good that we can do for our self and our fellow men.
