Last weekend, I went to a seminar. The speaker told us a story.

When I woke up, I caught a glimpse of the light in the study room. I quietly walk over and saw my husband still burning the midnight oil finishing the project.

My husband, after retiring from the company, because haven’t hired a new employee, and the leader of the organization asked him for help. So, that’s why he was still burning the midnight oil.

I made a cup of milk for him and said to him: “If really can’t finish, take a rest, don't stay up too late. Tomorrow I'll do it with you, and your leader won't know it. Besides, now you already retired, helping them is just friendship, it is not your duty to help. You don’t need to do your best, no need to strive for excellence.

As soon as he heard this, he took it seriously: "I can't let things drift when no one sees it." You are not familiar with the work of our company, even if you do your best, it may not be able to look well. I will not allow myself to finish the job without doing my best. ”

After listened to the story, I fell into meditation. Undeniably, in life, in front of people, most of us are always like a peacock, showing our most beautiful, most active, and most positive energy side to others.
However, when a person is alone, he/she will show his/her true colors, feel that there is no need to restrain themselves, often trying to relax.

In the place where no one else can see, the husband has a strict self-discipline, and his own bottom line and never crossed the line.

Life is really like what the husband said, self-discipline in the place where no one can see, good luck is not far from you, success is closer to you.

Nike wants to recruit a director of marketing. Through the level of assessment, there are three young finalists in the final assessment.

A week later, the company informed that the final assessment would be on the phone.
The interview is on schedule. Just as the three young people waited anxiously for the results, they were informed that the company wanted their mother to make a written statement of her son's performance on the day of the interview, including the dress, the expression, and so on during the interview.

The three finalists' mothers wrote down the situation in the form of letters to the company. Soon, the vice president of the company, Mark Parker announced the results: "The winner is Meganne Thompson.”

The other two young finalists were unconvinced: "Sir, we want to know, what did Thompson do to beat us?"

Parker smiled and said: "Thompson's mother told us in the letter that on the day of the telephone interview, although we can not see each other, her daughter, Thompson is wearing a suit."

At the time, Thompson's mother feel ridiculous: "It is just a phone interview, the interviewer can not see you, is it necessary to dress up so formally?"
Thompson said gravely: '"Yes, I can talk to the interviewer in my underwear and vest, but then my mood will be relaxed and the words will be very casual."

Moreover, the interviewer is calling me from the office; he dressed smartly, how can I not give him respect? "After that, Parker did not forget to add a sentence to the two young people who were unsuccessful:" You know, marketing is a must-do job, Thompson has the self-discipline spirit when no one around, this is what we Nike need! ”

True self-discipline is to be disciplined in places where others cannot see them. Life is for us to see, how fine you are, the world will give you a great fullness of the face.

Not everyone who has self-discipline is meant to succeed, but the people who succeed are basically the ones who have self-discipline at places where others can’t see.

I interviewed a girl from local high school, at the time of graduation, she was fortunate to receive the admission notice from Harvard and began her postgraduate study career.
You know, many international political celebrities come from the academy. Many people envy and jealousy, think she is gifted to go to Harvard.

She's actually relying on self-discipline at the place where others can't see.

During the university, her learning task has been ease down a lot, coupled with parental discipline, many people who like the birds fly out of the cage, the complete release themselves to the world.

But this girl has a very abnormal schedule, her schedule for every day is full, no free time, her self-discipline level is crazy.

She gets up at five o'clock every day, sticks to the morning reading, goes to class on time, and leave two to three hours a day to improve herself. These two or three hours, completely avoids playing the phone, following series, chat ...

Some people laughed at her, saying that such a way of life is ascetic, deserve not to have a boyfriend and so on.

She did not give up because of others ' ridicule, but she persisted. With this super self-discipline, she finally realized her dream.

In fact, there is no so-called genius in the world; it is just at the places where no one else can see, insist on self-discipline and push yourself forward.

If you don't want to be mediocre, start with self-discipline, be tough on yourself, and keep your self-discipline and persistence even in places where others can't see them.

Someone once said, believe in your self-discipline, believe that every effort you make, time will reward you in the future.

Yes, be ruthless to yourself, stick to self-discipline even in the places where others can't see, the closer you get to success, the luckier you will become.
