Wan Weigang said: "If you are a particularly self-disciplined person, facing various restrictions every day, having various fixed processes, and you know what you should do every moment, you have gained a sense of autonomy. ”
Strict self-discipline, almost harsh on yourself. Such a person will have more freedom in the future. And the requirements for themselves are loose and collapsed, such a person, on the contrary, will be subject to restrictions from life.

Head overhang taper thorn strands. Anyone who can do this can become an outstanding person
no pain, no gain. If you don't want to suffer hardships and want to get superior status, that is a fantasy. No cause comes out of thin air.
Sun Jing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when he was young, read very hard, in order not to let himself fall asleep because of sleepiness, he tied his hair up and tied it to the beam of the room with a rope, which was cruel enough for himself, and Su Qin, who had the same magic of the Warring States period, was even more cruel to himself, and when he was reading in the middle of the night, if he felt sleepy, he used an awl to prick his thigh, and the awl pierced the thigh, and the sting made him immediately mentally up.
Both men became prominent figures of the time in the days that followed.

Success is forced
Zeng Guofan said: "Success is boiled out, and ability is forced out." ”
Zeng Guofan was a world-famous saint who was almost harsh on his self-discipline.
He kept a daily journal reflecting on his bad behavior.
Once he visited a friend, and because his concubine was so beautiful, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and when he returned, he also severely blamed himself in his diary.
He had to read every day, even at the last moment of his life.
Zeng Guofan is not a talented person, and he uses stupid methods to move forward little by little.
When the teenager was studying, due to poor grades, he forced himself to read all night, and finally obtained a meritorious name.
It is said that once, a thief hid on the beam of his study, waiting for him to go back to sleep after reading the book, and then stealing, but a short article Zeng Guofan read repeatedly all night, but still did not recite it.
The thief couldn't bear it, jumped off the beam, pointed at Zeng Guofan's nose and scolded: "I have listened to it all night, what books do you read with your stupid head?" ”
After saying that, the thief flew away, leaving only the young Zeng Guofan without reacting and standing there shyly.
But although Zeng Guofan was not very smart, he became a generation of famous courtiers, while the clever thieves achieved nothing.
It can be seen that people are forced out. Although the thief is clever, he refuses to work hard, and can only opportunistically become a thief.

Every successful person has a bitter stomach behind them.
Before Haruki Murakami became famous for writing novels, he once opened a small shop in business, but due to poor management, he was in a poor situation.
In winter, there is no money to buy coal for heating.
One day he had a whim and began to write novels.
Every day after work, he returned home and sat in the kitchen to write, and the cold often understood that he was helpless.
But he still pushed himself, kept insisting, and kept writing.
In this way, after three years of unremitting efforts, he finally became famous in one fell swoop.
Things are uncertain, and everyone will encounter more or less hardships and hardships. But people's choices can make people have different results. Those who do not admit defeat, those who dare to force themselves to fight against fate to the end, will definitely tide over the difficulties. An opportunity to turn around.
One writer said: "In the course of everyone's life, there are several bites of overnight meals that must be swallowed." ”
In life, who has not yet suffered at the time. The darkness before dawn is the hardest. The more difficult it is, the more you cannot be depressed.
Forcing yourself and being cruel to yourself is precisely the best love for yourself.
In nature, the law of survival is survival of the fittest. The potential of living things is unlimited.
In the process of hunting and hunting, each animal must reach its maximum potential. Speed is forced out. If you are slow, you will become the food of others, and if you are slow, you will be starved to death.
Push yourself, there will be a moment of willow and dark flowers.
