Sir Isaac Newton’s first law of motion, commonly referred to as the law of inertia, states, “An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motions tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an outside force.” It is all too common for people to resign themselves to the tyranny of this law, as if we amount to nothing more than inanimate objects. We stay the course that we’ve been set upon unless their circumstances dictate change. Old patterns of behavior chart the future self with uncanny precision if allowed to reign supreme.

eight periods of using the classrooms, lots of trash is scattered over
our campus, stuffed into waste cans, dropped on the floor, flushed in
the toilets. By the very next morning, it seems to be fairly clean,
until fifth and sixth period comes again-then the cycle of trash
continues.
