If you can't discipline yourself, you will suffer from mediocrity.

I saw an interview with Yin Ye in the video some time ago, and I was very impressed. The meaning is roughly: if you can't eat the bitterness of self-discipline, you will eat the bitterness of mediocrity.

This sentence not only touched me deeply, but also touched my heart. I believe many people will feel the same way after reading this sentence, as if they were talking about ordinary us.

Do you know what the stupidest thing in the world is? It is that a person can endure this unhappy life for decades, but he is unwilling to work hard and spend a year to change himself. I don't know what it means to invest in myself, but I wasted my life and clearly know that I have the ability to do something. Everyone can change, provided you are willing to start.

Yes, we often feel sorry for ourselves, complaining that life is not easy and social injustice, but we don't want to start from ourselves and change the status quo with practical actions. We always advise ourselves not to stay up late, but we still stay up until the deepest and regret ourselves the next day, but we still continue to stay up late day after day. We live a life of complaining at the same time, instead of taking time to make changes with actions.

No matter what happens, it won't be too late. The best way to start is to act immediately from now on, instead of just saying it or putting it in your own plan and letting it lie there forever without any change.

I believe that people can change, and nothing can't be changed. If there is, it is that the motivation for change is not enough and there is no fundamental desire to change.

I read a passage not long ago, which roughly means that you should regard your life as a project, and the success of the project is the success of your life. Success is not how much money you earn, but how much power you have. Ordinary people can also create value, make life meaningful and realize their own life value. For themselves, it is success. Therefore, in a limited life, investing in yourself is the right choice.

The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now. As long as we are willing to start from ourselves, it is never too late. The most important thing is to start.
