1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Change is not a linear process with begining a middle and an end, it is a cycle. Some times you only have to go round once, sometimes you have to go round many times. I quit smoking a hundred times, but each time I learn’t something. I haven’t smoked it 10 years but that doesn’t mean I won’t start again, but if i do I’ll be better prepared to quit again. Just because you didn’t succeed last time doesn’t mean that you can’t succeed.
