Career

WITH nothing more than a Mechanical Engineering degree in hand and her future hanging in the balance, Siti Rodhiah Lamree took a bus from Kunak on the east coast of Sabah and travelled westward to Kota Kinabalu on a road trip that would later prove to be one of the most important in her life.

It was not a journey of a thousand miles; it was just about 460km but throughout the long and winding road, she kept on rehearsing in her mind the interview she was about to attend in the state capital.

Yet, the interview was not for a job, but for enrolment in a programme to enhance her employability so that she could stand a better chance at kick-starting a career which had thus far eluded her.

MERDEKA!!

Changing your habit!

What Is Habit Formation?

Habit formation is the process by which new behaviors become automatic. Someone who instinctively reaches for a cigarette after waking up has a habit. But so does the person who feels inclined to lace up her running shoes and hit the streets as soon as she gets home.

Old habits can be difficult to break, and healthy habits are often harder to develop than one would like. That's because the behavioral patterns we repeat most often are etched into our neural pathways. The good news is that, through repetition, it's possible to form—and maintain—new habits. And even long-time habits that are detrimental to one’s health and well-being can be shaken with enough determination and a smart approach.

How to Build Better Habits

Whether the ultimate aim is to end a disruptive habit or to establish a new one, behavior change can be tough. Excuses, fatigue, and the vagueness of our goals can spell doom for such endeavors. With some focus, however, these obstacles can be overcome.

Experts advise that strategies such as creating a specific and reasonable goal for change, being mindful of how one’s environment influences the effort to make progress toward it, and looping in other people who care about one’s progress can all help make the process of habit formation more successful.

Expressions

Asking for advice:

• I've got a bad toothache. What do you suggest?
• What do you advise me to do?
• What should I do?
• What ought I to do?
• What's your advice?
• If you were me what would you do?

Giving advice

• If I were you, I would go to the dentist.
• Why don't you go to the dentist?
• You'd better brush your teeth regularly.
• You ought to/should avoid eating sweets.
• If you take my advice, you'll go to the dentist.
• It might be a good idea to brush your teeth on a regular basis.
• I advise you to brush your teeth on a regular basis.
• Have you thought about seeing a dentist.

Declining to give advice

• I don't know what to advise, I'm afraid.
• I wish I could suggest something, but I can't.
• I wish I could help.
• I'm afraid I can't really help you.

Things to remember about asking for and giving advice:

1. "Advise" is a verb.
Example:
"I advise you to learn English. You will undoubtedly need it in your higher studies"

2. "Advice" is a noun.
Example:
"My father gave me this piece of advice when I was young: never give up"

3. "Ought to" has nearly the same meaning as "should". The only difference is that "ought to " refers to a moral or external obligation but should is more of an advice.
Example:
"You ought to stop smoking."
"You should stop smoking."

4. "You'd better" is the short form of "you had better"
Example:
"You'd better see a doctor!" = "You had better see the doctor"

Study the dialogue:

Student:	I'm terrible at English and I think I should do something about it. What do you advise me to do?
Teacher:	I think you should try this website. It's a fantastic website for beginners.
Student:	I've heard about it, but what do you think I should start with?
Teacher:	You'd better start with the lessons.Then, try the exercises.
