When you consistently neglect to do the things you know you should do, when they should be done, here’s the downside:
如果你經常在該做某事時偷懶拖延，就會產生以下負面影響：
You won’t achieve your goals. I’ve never met anyone who achieved any worthwhile goal who lacked discipline.
無法實現目標。我還沒見過有誰缺乏自律最后卻能取得巨大成功。
You won’t feel good about yourself. No matter how hard you try to justify your actions, you know what’s right and wrong. Lying to yourself only makes it worse.
我對你發出挑戰：開始做你知道該做的小事。在做的每一件事過程中認識自己。通過堅定的信念和不懈的努力，你一定能成為一個自律的人。
You’ll lose the respect of those who are dependent upon your actions.
這不是我第一次在博客上發文章說明自律的重要性了，也不會是最后一次。我列出的1000多條小事中，沒有什么比自律更有價值。
Making the decision to become a disciplined person may prove to be one of the most important decisions you make because of its powerful influence on every part of your life.
自律是那些過著成功、富足生活的人與生活失敗、窮困的人的分水嶺。
A commitment to discipline
努力做到自律
The first step in becoming a disciplined person is to make a commitment to yourself that from this day forward you are going to do the things you know you should do, when you should do them. As part of this commitment, you cannot allow yourself to make excuses or justify not doing what you should do.
要想做一個自律的人，第一步就是向自己保證：從今天起，每到該做事時都要把該做的工作完成。在整個過程中，你不能為自己找借口不做該做的事。
If you struggle with discipline, start small. It’s how we all got started. Start by taking out the overflowing garbage, answering an email, changing the light bulb, or cleaning your bathroom. Start today doing all the little things you know you should do, but don’t feel like doing.
如果自律對你來說很難，那就從小事做起吧，所有人一開始都是這樣。你可以從這些事情開始——清理堆積如山的垃圾，回復郵件，換燈泡或者整理臥室。從今天開始，做一些你不喜歡做卻該做的瑣事。
When you need to do things that make you uncomfortable, remember the wise words of leadership expert Dr. John Maxwell who said, “If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.”
每當你需要做點事來讓自己感覺舒服一些時，想想領導學專家麥斯威爾博士（Dr. John Maxwell ）的至理名言：“成長的過程通常是痛苦的。”
When things come up that are scary, heed the experience of Dale Carnegie who said, “Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.”
如果你在做事時遇到困難，想想戴爾·卡內基的話：“迄今為止，能克服恐懼的最快最有效方法就是去做你害怕的事并堅持下去。”
Becoming a discipline person will likely be the hardest thing you do, but it can also become the most rewarding. All successes in every part of your life are built on the foundation of discipline.
成為一個自律的人對你來說可能是最難的，但也是最有益的，因為自律是生活各個方面虛的成功的基礎。
I want to challenge you to start doing the little things you know you should do. As you do, recognize yourself for each thing you do. With constant awareness and sustained effort you can actually train yourself to become disciplined.
我向你發出挑戰：開始做你知道該做的每一件小事并在這個過程中認清自己。通過堅定的信念和不懈的努力，你一定能成為一個自律的人。
This is not the first time I have blogged on the importance of discipline, and it won’t be the last. Of the over 1000 little things on my list, nothing has a higher dollar value to the market than discipline.
這不是我在博客上寫的關于自律重要性的第一篇文章，也不會是最后一篇。在我列出的1000多條小事中，自律是最有價值的一條。
Discipline is one of the key differentiators separating those who live successful and fulfilling lives from those who don’t.
成功者與失敗者的其中一個主要區別就是前者會自律而后者沒有自律意識。
