Beijing, May 6 (Reporter Xing Rui) There was once such a bridge section in the TV series "Twenty Not Confused", and the school flower Liang Shuang and his roommates submitted their resumes to find internships. Surprisingly, the roommate of the professional counterpart was rejected, but Liang Shuang was successfully admitted.

In the face of the questions of his roommates, Liang Shuang said bluntly: "Because I am beautiful." She then said, "Have you heard of the ten thousand hour rule?" I gave ten thousand hours to my face, and I did it to the extreme when it came to loving beauty. So it's normal for a company to look at my face. ”

Hearing this, her roommates silently bowed their heads. Some people criticize that Liang Shuang in the play eats by his face, but the truth is that it is not an easy task to become beautiful. For the sake of her face, Liang Shuang achieved extreme self-discipline.

When her roommate stayed up late to brush up on the drama, she went to bed early and got up early; when everyone was "paralyzed and moldy" in bed, she went for a run; even when she went out to eat hot pot, she had to order clear soup and go through the water again.

This almost harsh lifestyle also brought Liang Shuang a rich reward: she found a satisfactory boyfriend and became a beauty blogger.

There was once a saying on the Internet that "chicken soup" was all the rage: people who are stronger than you are more disciplined than you. Just like Liang Shuang in the play, he was born with a beautiful billet, but he still bothered to maintain his beauty. It seems that the more successful people are, the higher the demands on themselves.

Some time ago, winter Olympic champion Gu Ailing appeared on the streets of Beijing, and almost every day netizens met her who was running. Gu Ailing, who has no race task, still maintains the habit of long-distance running.

In the eyes of many people, Gu Ailing has the aura of "genius girl" on her head, and her success is inseparable from talent. However, Gu Ailing said: "I am not a genius, and more than 99% of my grades are hard work. ”

She was always the first to go to the training ground, the last to go, to take pictures of magazines during the day, and to the gym at night. The so-called self-discipline, probably means that like Gu Ailing, he can meet the challenge with a positive and active attitude, and does not rush to enjoy it for a while in order to dream.

"If a husband and a gentleman take far away, he will have something to do, and if he is great, he will endure." Because we already have a higher goal in our hearts, we can restrain our desire to have instant happiness and wait for greater satisfaction.

The "double champion" of the Men's Double 3m Board and the Single 3m Board at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Xie Sibei, has not drunk any carbonated drinks for at least a year in preparation for the Olympic Games. At the post-match press conference, he stared closely at the Coke in the hands of the bronze medalist and said bluntly: "The Coke in his hand, in fact, I have been watching it for a long time." ”

The most reward I want to give myself after winning the gold is a bottle of Coke, but for that four-year dream, Xie Sibei is willing to delay this palpable happiness until the moment when it is most worth drinking.

Self-discipline is also to learn to respect the facts, and then face them bravely, and know how to choose between them and Zhang Chi.

Before running 9.83 seconds in 100 meters, Su Bingtian knew how difficult the challenge he had to face was. Old age, injuries, and the limits of no one in Asia, each reason alone was enough to make him choose to give up.

"I am not tall, 100 meters to run seven steps more than others", Su Bingtian, who frankly admitted that he was "not talented", finally dismissed the idea of retiring after repeated consideration, but continued to sweat on the field.

Instead of avoiding his weaknesses, he was determined to rely on technology to remedy his weaknesses. To this end, he must abandon the habit of starting with his left foot and achieve a breakthrough through persistent scientific training.

He insisted on seventeen years of boring and monotonous regular work and rest: get up before 7 o'clock every morning, fall asleep at 10 o'clock in the evening, take a nap at noon to ensure the training state in the afternoon; after the end of each day's training, he did not move to write a training diary, recording his training amount, how he should practice next, and what he should pay attention to.

Even if he encounters injuries, he remains calm and restrained, not impatient, patient, and slowly adjusts when he is not in a good state. Su Bingtian, who is outstanding in self-discipline and knows how to self-discipline, measured the distance of his dreams with his own feet.

The narration of one episode of "Twenty Not Confused" is: "We are all interns of this world, full of expectations to make a good first impression, and gently say: 'First meeting, please pay more attention', but this strange world warns us: 'The first meeting is insignificant'." ”

It is precisely because it is insignificant that we must choose to work hard, because the world will not treat ordinary people who are stingy with their efforts. All the gifts of fate have long been marked in secret.

People better than you, more disciplined than you, what are you waiting for, my friend. The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now.

Because of self-discipline, so freedom. (End)
