Aristotle: Ethics. Standard interpretations of Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics usually maintain that Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.) emphasizes the role of habit in conduct.
It is commonly thought that virtues, according to Aristotle, are habits and that the good life is a life of mindless routine. These interpretations of Aristotle’s ethics are the result of imprecise translations from the ancient Greek text. Aristotle uses the word hexis to denote moral virtue. But the word does not merely mean passive habituation.

So why pay for something that likely won't stop this situation from happening in the future? How Understanding Your Brain Can Help You Learn. Recently, a close friend’s niece was having trouble graduating from college.
She needed to pass a math class to graduate but wouldn’t take it because she feared flunking it. A belief that she just wasn’t “good at math” was keeping her stuck in graduation limbo, unable to move on with her life. I know my friend’s niece isn’t the first person to be cowed by a math course or some other seemingly insurmountable barrier to success. Maybe someone gave you the message that you weren’t talented enough to succeed in a particular field; or you just didn’t have the confidence to persevere when you struggled. Hire Leaders for What They Can Do, Not What They Have Done. Executive Summary The next time you are filling a leadership role, ask yourself three questions.
First, does the candidate have the skills to be a high-performing contributor or the skills to be an effective leader?
