Matsushita Konosuke said that the achievement of reaching the top stems from self-discipline.
There are many paths to a person's path to strength, and self-discipline is one of them.
All those who have been able to accomplish great things in ancient and modern times have very clearly confirmed this view.
Especially when we are familiar with those great people in ancient and modern China and abroad, we will find that the reason why they can achieve a career is inseparable from their self-discipline and persistence.
It can be seen that as ordinary people, we all want to make our lives better, we need to force ourselves to develop a habit: self-discipline
1: Self-discipline
The success of anything, even if it is a very small thing, requires corresponding efforts behind it.
For example, if a person wants to practice basketball skills, he must improve his skills through self-discipline efforts on the court and constantly summing up experience in various small games.
If you just do things with a three-day fishing, two-day net-drying mentality, then not only can not give you enough positive feedback, but over time, you are likely to be disappointed because you can't see the benefits, and then gradually give up.
The famous writer Balzac said:
"A young man, when the mood is cold, the mind becomes sound."
Everyone has something called greed in their hearts, and once it takes root in your spiritual world, it is easy to fall into the abyss of human nature.
Doing things for people, only always can keep the mood calm, emotional stability, in order to make the mind cool, clear thinking, logic appropriate.
And in this state, we can really clearly perceive everything around us, and do our own things rationally and self-disciplinedly.
Because the more a person knows about themselves and the more familiar they are with life, the more they know how to deal with the rest of their lives.
The generation of the strong naturally understands that everything needs to be paid to be rewarded.
The weak, on the other hand, have always liked to be ambitious and far-sighted, opportunistic, and even do not hesitate to calculate in order to gain temporary interests.
Self-disciplined people, whether for their own lives or for their own work, will always uphold a down-to-earth, responsible to the end mentality.
Always fighting against ever-expanding desires, he is also able to cling to his beliefs and ideals quite firmly.
2: Self-discipline
Why should you be self-disciplined?
Because the self-disciplined life is destined to be a successful life.
A self-disciplined life is not just lip service, but requires a huge price to pay.
This price is most likely to require you to sacrifice your interests, hobbies, and various desires.
The reason why many people have lived a mediocre life and achieved nothing is that they have wasted their ability to self-discipline.
At a young age, they like to attend meaningless parties every three or five minutes, or before they can succeed, they overdraft their youth in advance to enjoy a luxurious life.
People in this state of life not only cannot find the support point of life in terms of being a person, but also do not find their own direction in life.
They are holding a mentality of getting by and getting by to their own lives and studies, and also after graduation, they enter the society, because they have no relevant skills, plus they have no resources, let alone so-called background.
Therefore, under the wash of the times, these so-called young people are not only untenable, but are full of a confused and painful sense of anxiety about the future.
The famous philosopher Plato said:
"Self-control is an order, a control over pleasures and desires."
People's confusion and pain lie in their own desperate desire to change the present moment of dissatisfaction, but they do not stand in the right position to observe where they are deficient.
People who are really self-disciplined are going to calm down when they encounter any problems and make certain balance points between happiness and desire.
Life is both an adventure and a pleasure, and the key lies in how you self-control your mindset and self-discipline yourself.
The Northern Song Dynasty theorist Zhu Xi also said:
"If you don't work hard, your heart will become depressed day by day; if you don't discipline it, your heart will become wanton."
Take advantage of your youth, do more practical things, and don't just focus on pleasure.
If you do not work hard when you are young, you will become more and more decadent and decadent, and if you do not know how to check yourself in a timely manner, you will increasingly wanton words and deeds in your heart.
To be a person, you are expensive in self-discipline.
Restrain your desires, control your emotions, stabilize your mindset, and discipline your words and deeds.
This kind of torture, which seems to be a spiritual cultivation, can eventually achieve your own pattern.
3: Self-discipline life
Zeng Guofan said:
"Teenagers cannot withstand good times, middle-aged people cannot experience idleness, and old age cannot withstand adversity."
When you are a teenager, don't live in a greenhouse, because a tree that grows in a good environment is doomed to withstand the wind and rain of the day after tomorrow.
In middle age, don't live in idleness, because people reach thirty, if they are still useless, have no strengths, and achieve nothing, then they need to deliberately polish themselves and build themselves.
In the old age, do not live in adversity, which means that in the juvenile and middle-aged periods, we need to prepare the corresponding abilities, abilities, strengths, patterns, and realms in advance.
Because in the old age, do not because you are weak and weak, but also need to face a variety of difficulties, adversities.
At this time, whether physically or mentally, it is difficult for you to really withstand the blows of life and the times.
Therefore, if a person knows how to plan ahead and knows how to be far-sighted, then he should be prepared before any dilemma happens to him.
This kind of preparation is a kind of cultivation, a kind of sublimation, and even more a kind of wisdom.
It is true that this process is bound to be a process of self-discipline, because any spiritual and ideological success stems from the experience, accumulation and persistence in life bit by bit.
Zeng Guofan also said:
"If you enter a point of virtue today, you will accumulate a liter of valley; tomorrow you will build a point of work, and you will have a surplus of money."
To do things, the emphasis is on accumulating less into more, accumulating over time, in order to achieve thick accumulation and thin hair, water drops and stones wear.
To be a person, you must be self-disciplined in words and deeds, perseverance, in order to be far-sighted and sharp.
In this way, we can open our eyes, open up the pattern, create a self-disciplined life, and enjoy a better life.
