Success Inspirations: Only a truly self-disciplined life will make people far behind.

Introduction: We all know that unusual things are often boring and repetitive in the manufacturing process, which requires patience. All seemingly beautiful people are based on extremely lonely diligence and self-discipline, either blood, sweat or a lot of charming youth. The following is an inspirational article I shared, welcome to read!

I took time to accompany my mother to her classmate's party the other day.

On the one hand, out of curiosity, what is the difference between people who graduated from the same school after more than 20 years?

I saw it a few days ago and found that everyone's living conditions are really different.

Aunt Chen was my mother's former deskmate. She is a beautiful woman and strict with herself. Even at the age of half a century, she has been exercising and her face looks younger than her peers.

Uncle Dacheng used to like foreign languages very much. He reads English on tape after class every day. After graduation, he just caught up with the bonus period of the foreign trade industry. I have been a translator for several years, and now I am also the boss of the team.

Aunt Reiko Kobayakawa didn't like to think when she was young. After she got married, she liked playing mahjong and kept her job as an iron rice bowl. As a result, she was laid off in the 1990s and became a housewife at home.

Uncle Amin drank too much after work, and now he has alcoholic hepatitis and looks haggard.

......

On the way home, my mother said with a smile, look at everyone's living conditions now, and their faces are all exposed.

This also made me think: in the 20 years after graduation, what made people win thousands of miles? What makes people lose their long-distance running?

In the conversation, I learned that my uncle and aunt, who are living well now, have been self-disciplined in hard mode in their early lives.

It is precisely because of self-discipline that they can find another way to avoid the "wave of layoffs" and usher in an enviable life in the later period.

I once read a book "The Road Few People Walk" and said: In a sense, life is a road of self-cultivation. People who are really envied have a very important quality-self-discipline.

The three principles of self-discipline mentioned in the book have always benefited me a lot in my life and work.

Principle 1: Postpone satisfaction

Some time ago, I encountered a bottleneck in my work.

I always habitually put off my work until I have no choice but to submit it before the deadline.

I recall my usual work habits. I always finish relaxing work in the first hour of work, and always try to avoid difficult tasks in the rest of the time.

Later, I changed my strategy and gave priority to solving those troublesome tasks in my first hour at work.

So in the rest of the time, other work will become relatively easy.

Facts have proved that this strategy is effective.

One hour of pain plus seven hours of happiness is certainly better than seven hours of pain plus one hour of happiness.

This is called delaying satisfaction, not coveting temporary comfort, and resetting the order of happiness and pain in life.

Feel pain in front of the problem, then solve the problem and feel the greatest happiness. This is the only feasible way of life.

For example, a habit of gnawing at hard bones first, such as doing difficult problems first and eating bad things first, is generally regarded by the west as a harbinger of future success.

The best way in the world is always downhill.

And those who take the initiative to open the hard mode are destined to enjoy the greatest happiness in the near future.

Principle 2: Take responsibility.

I overheard two girls talking at the coffee shop on the weekend.

A girl complained about the boss of her department. In the morning, the customer complained and the big leader wanted to blame her. It was obviously her boss's work mistake, and she became a scapegoat for no reason.

Another girl has been persuading her not to get angry with people who are not worth it, constantly comforting her, and finally persuading her to go back and do her job and stop pursuing it.

As soon as something happens, you put the blame on others and hang yourself high. You must have such friends or colleagues around you.

Black American writers have a saying: If you can't solve the problem, then you will become a problem.

When faced with a problem, stand up, or the problem will exist forever.

The difficulty of taking responsibility for personal behavior is that it will bring pain, and we want to try our best to avoid it.

At the moment when you pass the buck, you may feel very comfortable and happy, but your mind is not mature and often becomes a burden to the collective and society.

Most of these escapees want to give their freedom and power to fate, to the government and to their superiors.

Countless people simply give up their rights in order to escape the pain caused by responsibility, in fact, they are escaping freedom.

We always feel that we can't change the status quo, so we have self-doubt.

In fact, our ability is far stronger than we thought, and we are absolutely capable of taking responsibility for all our choices and life.

Principle 3: keep balance

Self-discipline is a hard and complicated job, and you need to have enough courage and judgment.

The highest principle of maintaining balance is: give up.

When I was 9 years old, I just learned to ride a bike and went out to play happily all day.

There is a slope near my home, and there is also a sharp turn at the downhill.

One morning, I rode my bike down the mountain, and the feeling of speeding could bring me great happiness.

But if you had held down the brakes and slowed down at that time, your happiness would have been greatly reduced.

So, I rode to the corner below without slowing down.

As a result, a few seconds later, I was thrown a few meters away. I lay sprawled on the grass with many wounds. My bike hit a tree.

Giving up something will definitely bring pain to the soul.

At the age of 9, I was obsessed with the feeling of lightning speed and refused to give up my temporary happiness in exchange for the balance when turning. Finally understand that losing balance is far more than giving up pain.

No matter who you are, you must give up some happiness and part of your life when you walk around the corner of your life.

Love is the source of self-discipline.

I know a young, smart and artistic couple.

Before marriage, the woman's family was well-off and had no worries about food and clothing. I also worked hard and graduated from a prestigious school.

The man was ignorant and muddled along. After meeting that woman, he suddenly changed.

He began to strive to improve himself and be strict with himself, just to be worthy of that woman.

With his own efforts, the man made some achievements in his career, and finally touched the woman and got married.

The power of self-discipline comes from love, and the essence of love is a will.

Men turn love into practical action, self-discipline, and reach mental maturity.

True love will help you improve yourself. The deeper you love, the higher the degree of self-improvement.

There used to be a topic in Zhihu called: What opened the gap between people for a period of time?

One of the high votes answered, which gave me a very deep impression:

People who have unlimited scenery on the surface actually work harder than you.

I'm impressed.

We all know that unusual things are often boring and repetitive in the manufacturing process, which requires patience.

All seemingly beautiful people are based on extremely lonely diligence and self-discipline, either blood, sweat or a lot of charming youth.

Similarly, a school graduated from the same starting point. Why did the students show different living conditions at the class reunion more than 20 years after graduation?

Because some people have been very active in life, know what they want, and then work hard to achieve their goals through self-discipline.

Others are pushed by life and eventually lose the long-distance running of life.

So don't let life control you, learn to control life actively.

The road of self-discipline is destined to be a road few people take, but only a truly self-disciplined life will eventually leave people behind.
