[00:02.80]Topic 39 On the Importance of Self-disciplined [00:07.19]There are many college students [00:09.60]who are bad at keeping themselves in line. [00:11.13]When they are required to finish some assignments, [00:14.05]they will barely bother to do it [00:16.12]unless they deem that they may be criticized [00:17.88]by their teachers. [00:18.66]Instead, [00:19.70]they spend their time playing computer games [00:21.90]and watching episodes of TV programs, [00:23.85]as well as chatting with friends on MSN or QQ. [00:26.58]They oftentimes procrastinate so terribly [00:30.21]that they have done nothing [00:31.88]before they go to bed. [00:32.70]Despite the fact that every day [00:34.69]they tell themselves [00:35.99]that it will be a fresh start, [00:37.57]they just succeed in repeating their procrastination. [00:39.94]Undoubtedly, [00:41.99]these students have not realized [00:43.73]the importance of self-discipline in their lives. [00:45.74]Firstly, [00:47.08]the world is full of temptations [00:49.13]to live an undisciplined life. [00:51.37]In today’s society, [00:53.73]they live in a world [00:55.28]where temptations are almost everywhere. [00:57.17]There are a variety of TV programs [00:59.72]that tempt them into knowing [01:00.86]what have become of the hero and heroine [01:03.07]in the last episode. [01:04.67]There are various occasions [01:06.50]on which they find it hard [01:08.47]to decline our friends’ invitation. [01:09.73]Though they make efforts [01:11.54]to focus on professors’ assignments, [01:13.19]they usually surrender themselves [01:15.06]to the mercy of entertainment activities [01:17.22]and tell themselves [01:18.57]to put the homework later on only to find out [01:20.47]that the homework is not finished at last. [01:22.46]In consequence, [01:23.55]they have no respect for themselves. [01:25.77]In fact, [01:26.96]they hate themselves for being like this. [01:28.64]But whatever they aim for a change, [01:30.99]they just fall back into their old ways. [01:33.77]This is what their lives will be like [01:36.67]if they do not possess self-discipline. [01:38.62]Secondly, [01:39.96]as various interviews given [01:42.32]by most of the successful people in the world show, [01:44.35]self-discipline is one of the qualities [01:46.23]that help people succeed in their chosen fields. [01:48.90]People who have the ability [01:50.88]to reject instant gratification [01:53.16]in favor of something better, [01:55.02]to follow actions by overcoming addictions, [01:57.47]procrastination and laziness, [01:59.34]to resist temptations and distractions, [02:01.97]are more likely to attain aims and goals. [02:04.92]On the contrary, [02:05.93]lack of self-discipline leads to failure to reach goals, [02:09.48]even minor ones, [02:10.90]and to loss, health, obesity [02:13.83]and other troubles. [02:15.33]In sum, [02:16.28]self-discipline is one of the essential qualities [02:19.35]that contribute effectively to a man’s progress [02:22.21]and development. [02:23.35]While the world is teeming with temptations and distractions, [02:26.48]one can only succeed by learning self-discipline.
