There is a quality that can make a person stand out from the mediocre generation. This quality is not talent, education, or IQ, but self-discipline.

　　With self-discipline, everything is possible. Without it, even the simplest goal is out of reach.

　　--Theodo​re Roosevelt

　　A person with great ambition in his chest is often a very self-disciplined person.

　　During the Chongqing negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek once said to Secretary Chen Bui:

　　"Mao Zedong must not be underestimated. He is addicted to smoking, but after he knew that I did not smoke, he never smoked one during the conversation with me. Don't underestimate his determination and spirit!"

　　Self-disciplined people are both terrible and respectable.

　　If you are a partner, you must learn to discipline yourself from him; every unself-disciplined behavior will bring you greater pain.

　　Don't be slaves to desire, self-discipline can make us live higher.

　　Kant said that the so-called freedom is not to do what you want, but to dominate yourself.

　　You can’t see it in one day or two days, or perhaps in one month or two months, but in one year, two years, or even ten or twenty years, self-disciplined people and undisciplined people will eventually take completely different paths.

　　Good persistence is itself a kind of self-discipline. Body and life are like this

　　I still remember that last year, a 96-year-old grandfather named Shen Hua became popular on the Internet. After 26 years of fitness, he was physically strong. He was completely different from a nearly 100-year-old man. Everyone called him "Hua Zi" and "Uncle Hua". ".

　　Mr. Shen's daily work and rest time is very regular. He never goes to bed more than ten o'clock in the evening, wakes up at four o'clock in the morning to exercise his body, and reports to the gym every afternoon.

　　Many of his peers are no longer there. Shen Lao said: "Fitness and sports are my best friends now."

　　Shen Hua, who was in his seventies, first entered the gym and suffered a lot of blindness. Many people felt that his age would definitely not last long.

　　But the reality is that many young people are just passing by in the gym, but it took 20 years for Shen Hua to become a well-known "muscle grandpa".

　　The self-discipline of business leaders is even more terrifying. People who are as successful as Li Ka-shing still insist on watching English TV after dinner every day. Not only do they watch, but they also speak out loudly for fear of falling behind; they insist on reading before going to bed every day.

　　Like Li Ka-shing, there are many business leaders who are self-disciplined. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, has insisted on reading at least two books a week for decades.

　　In many cases, you are not self-disciplined when you are excellent, but you become excellent when you are self-disciplined.

　　And those who are self-disciplined often can't even bear to let them down.

　　Make self-discipline a good habit

　　There is no more self-discipline at the highest level than a natural habit.

　　We all know that behaviors form habits, habits shape character, and character determines destiny.

　　American psychologist William James said: It only takes 21 days to form or change a habit.

　　Self-discipline in a short period of time allows us to develop a habit, and self-discipline for a long time will change a person's life.

　　As a company employee, all rules and regulations need to be strictly followed, but everyone's self-discipline is more important. The more self-disciplined, the better.
