What are the differences between a self-disciplined person and a lazy person?

Konosuke Matsushita said: "The ultimate achievement comes from self-discipline."

People, the harder they work, the luckier they are, and the more self-disciplined they are, the more successful they are. Only with self-discipline can you meet a better version of yourself.

Those who are self-disciplined stand out, and those who are lazy are eliminated.

The lazy ones are out

I saw this question on Zhihu: What is the person you have seen who least strives for advancement?

The high praise answer is: they are anxious about the current situation, and do not have the perseverance to implement their determination and change themselves;

Everything takes three minutes, and the thing that persists the most is that they cannot persist. .

On the weekend, I went to meet a friend.

She has been staying in a rental house since she resigned in February. She sleeps until she wakes up in the afternoon every day, then orders a takeaway and looks at her mobile phone.

I asked her why she didn’t look for a job yet. She said: The longer she stayed in the house, the less she wanted to go to work. She sent resumes intermittently, but did not receive any satisfactory job. interview.

When I think of her in college, she looks completely different from what she looks like now.

When I was in college, my friend was also the goddess of many boys in her major. You can be a goddess now, as long as you want. ?I said.

My friend shook his head: Last year I spent 8,000 to buy 100 fitness classes, but ended up not finishing all ten classes. My money was wasted. ? Why not go? ? At the beginning, I was still interested in going to a few sessions, but later I became too tired from practicing and didn’t want to go. ?

Self-discipline is a process of self-improvement, in which one must experience the pain of giving up. The pain is so severe that it is even like facing death.

Just like the nature of natural replacement, the old disappears and the new can be born.

I don’t want to work, I can’t persist in exercising, I don’t want to step out of my comfort zone...

A series of retreats have made my mental state worse and worse, and my physical appearance also deteriorated. If it continues like this, the situation will only get worse.

Han Yu said in "Jin Jie Xue":

It is better to be diligent than to be diligent, and to be idle is to play. All laziness on the road to self-discipline will eventually turn into a pitfall on the road to success. Those who are lazy will be eliminated.

Self-disciplined people are outstanding

Those who have achieved great success in ancient and modern times must not only have unparalleled talents, but also have perseverance.

Most of the successful people who have left their names in history are highly self-disciplined.

Zeng Guofan, known as "the most perfect man in ancient and modern times", has achieved the ultimate in self-discipline.

When he was young, Zeng Guofan, like thousands of ordinary young people, had neither determination nor ability.

Not only that, he also has many stubborn bad habits: greed, lying, and laziness. No matter how you look at it, he is an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications, destined not to become a great person.

In order to correct his greed, he made up his mind to keep a diary. In his diary, he reflected on his mistakes during the day to alert himself.

This diary lasted for decades. Together with the letters he sent home to his relatives, it formed the rich "Zeng Guofan Family Instructions" and became a code of conduct believed by the world.

In order to correct his lies, he followed the advice of others and meditated for an hour every day to cultivate his moral character.

He continued to meditate like this for a lifetime, polishing off his sharp and irritable temperament.

In order to correct his laziness, he continued to study for decades.

Zeng Guofan never stopped reading in his life. Even if he lost one eye in his later years, he never stopped reading. It was

that Zeng Guofan finally achieved a counterattack in life by relying on his extreme self-discipline.

From a stupid kid with ordinary talents, he became a "perfect man" in the eyes of the world.

It can be seen that as long as a person can achieve self-discipline, he is already on the right track of life.

And those who indulge themselves can only struggle in the quagmire of life.

The more ruthless and self-disciplined you are, the more outstanding your talents will be in life.

Only self-discipline can lead to excellence.

Tips of self-discipline

Guo Qilin, the junior class leader of Deyun Club, said: Self-discipline gains confidence, it is no longer a matter of what can I do? ? But I think I can.

?

If you want to become self-disciplined, you must use your brain to compete with the comfort brought by laziness.

The first method: reward yourself.

Wang Jianlin’s small goal of earning 100 million has become a joke among the public.

But on the road to self-discipline, it is necessary to set yourself a small goal that is a bit challenging and can be achieved with hard work.

A reporter asked Jolin Tsai, do you still eat desserts when you are losing weight?

Jolin Tsai said: Eat, every time I stick to the weight loss plan for a week, I will reward myself by eating once. ?

When you complete a small goal, reward yourself appropriately.

Inamori Kazuo once said:

Please be moved by every small success you have, and use it as motivation to work harder.

This can not only relieve the tension and pressure when you first start self-discipline, but it is also a small ceremony to recognize the achievements of self-discipline.

This signifies that we have taken the right action and are making great strides in the right direction.

We should break down the ultimate big goal into multiple small goals that are easy to achieve.

The sense of accomplishment from completing small goals will strengthen the confidence and motivation for self-discipline.

Second method: Punish yourself

He said that I was just burning the boat and using various methods to force myself to have no way out.

A friend announced in front of his boss and colleagues at a company meeting that he wanted to take the advanced qualification certificate exam.

I threatened to leave the company if I failed the exam.

The harsh words came out. He made many study plans for himself, and each one was followed by punishment measures for failure to complete.

He demands of himself: his words must be true and his actions must be resolute.

It is human nature to avoid pain and save face.

My friend said that just thinking about the benefits of doing it and the serious consequences of not doing it is enough motivation.

Appropriate punishment is also a means of motivating self-discipline.

The third method: integrate into the circle

My cousin is a white-collar worker in an office. He has been sitting for a long time and is very weak.

The doctor recommended him to run for exercise.

He is alone with no one to supervise him. He has poor self-discipline and runs around every now and then.

If you don’t say it has no effect, it will make yourself very tired.

Later, he followed my suggestion and joined a running training camp. He was immediately infected by the team atmosphere and persisted very well.

Find the same circle of self-discipline goals, where everyone can supervise each other, stay together for warmth, and make progress together.

As the saying goes: He who walks alone is fast, but those who walk in groups are far away. ?

A person may go fast, but it is difficult to last long. Only by walking with others can you go far.

Integrating into a circle and hugging each other for warmth is a good way to practice self-discipline.

The more self-disciplined, the more freedom

Wang Xiaobo said: All human suffering is essentially anger at one’s own incompetence.

Self-discipline is a necessary condition for solving problems in life and an important means to eliminate pain in life.

Only when you try to be self-disciplined and do what you should do at the right time and place without procrastinating or slacking off, can your life be truly controlled by you.

Looking at it this way, only those with self-discipline can gain true freedom.

Just like in life, we must abide by traffic rules when driving and walking.

If everyone is conscious, the roads will be smooth and driving will be freer.

If everyone is unaware, the roads will be congested and personal safety and interests will not be protected.

Those who give up self-discipline and indulge themselves will only gain temporary freedom, but will eventually pay a heavy price, harming others and not benefiting themselves.

Life is a horse, self-discipline is the reins.

If you follow the reins, you will definitely deviate from the track, and even risk being shattered into pieces.

Life is a boat, self-discipline is water.

Only by pushing the boat with water can you sail freely and sail to the other side of your own life value.
