The tree won’t be straight, and the grass won’t be flat.
A friend has super self-control. He wakes up at 5 o'clock in the morning every morning, and then goes out at 7 o'clock. After a 10-minute walk, he clocks in to work at his work unit. While others are on the way, he cleans the office windows and pours boiling water into a thermos At the time when he was scheduled to go to work at 8:30, he just packed up and started his work full of energy. The severe cold and heat repeated thunderously, and this move alone won the deep respect of his colleagues.
At a pen meeting dinner, I was curious about his work and rest time. I wanted to know what he did so early every day? He smiled and told me: "Only when a person's soul is alone can he see his own clarity and brightness, and enjoy the vigor and prosperity of life. For writers, getting up early every day is more conducive to thinking, reading and reading. Writing articles is more handy in a quiet environment. I especially enjoy a person’s early morning carnival.” At the end, he also said that this little habit is a “sequelae” left over from high school, and it is impossible to change it now. So the literary friends ended the chat amidst the ridicule of "the early bird catches the worm".
My friend reads and writes while doing his job handily. He is trusted by the leader. The leader delegates the decision-making power of many projects to him. His life is in full swing. In our small essay circle, he publishes the most articles in the newspapers and publishes two or three books every year. Nowadays, there are not many people who can compare with him in the small essay circle. Everyone who knew him mentioned his name, and wrote two words from the eyebrows to the body and mind: admire.
Sometimes people are like goldfish in a fish tank, seeming to enjoy a leisurely, wealthy and free life, but in fact they must follow boundary rules and the principle of restraint of freedom. If too much bait is put in, the goldfish will die due to oversatisfaction. . Kant said: "The so-called freedom is not to do what you want, but to dominate yourself." Goldfish must be constrained to eat, let alone people? But all winners in life, they have one thing in common: to be a high-gloss self-discipline. Plato said that self-discipline is a kind of order, a kind of control over happiness and desire. Self-discipline is an action force derived from a mentality, and ordinary people can only have the bright light of happiness if they hold it for a long time.
Self-discipline is suitable for everyone, even those in high positions in ancient times. According to historical records, the prince of the Qing dynasty began to read when he was 6 years old. From 5 am to 3 pm, he could only rest for 5 days a year. Kangxi studied at a young age and was so tired that he coughed up blood. The initial reason Qianlong was so fond of Kangxi was that he was more diligent than other princes, and he was able to recite the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age. Seneca said that people who can restrain themselves have the most prestige.
The self-discipline of modern people is the same. As we all know, Jay Chou had composed 50 songs in ten days before he became a household name. "Three hundred and sixty lines, you will be the champion." The so-called champions are always self-disciplined. Besides, the most prosperous vegetable shop downstairs in my house, the couple always get up the earliest and sleep the latest. The variety of dishes is very popular with customers. It can be seen from this that God rewards hard work and self-discipline and self-improvement have always been twin brothers. Whether it is a royal family or a trafficker, as long as you have it, you will be favored and surrounded by the high light of self-discipline.
The posture of the willow will fall while looking at the autumn; the quality of the pines and cypresses is still lush after frost. Any success is not achieved overnight, but in quiet time, through accumulation and experience, and then accumulate. It is like planting a seed of self-discipline in the spring and reaping the fruits in autumn.
