Writer Liang Xiaosheng told CCTV an experience: When he was in the United States, he once wanted to cross the road. The red light was on, but there were no cars on the left and right.

Self-discipline refers to self-restraint, consciously using school rules and disciplines to restrain oneself, consciously using social morality and noble character to regulate oneself, and consciously using legal systems to remind oneself. This is called strict self-discipline.

Our ancestors have always regarded self-discipline, self-examination, and self-cultivation as the basis for being a person and doing things, and are the basic content of self-reflection and educating others. However, a social survey shows that high school students believe that the top five behaviors that should be promoted in modern society are: competition, law-abiding, responsibility, equality, and filial piety. However, self-discipline in social morality is far from being ranked. Obviously, self-discipline has been generally ignored by people.

According to the front page report of the 43rd issue of "Computer News", in the 2001-2002 academic year, 312 students from a famous university in Beijing were put on probation or even dropped out of school due to unsatisfactory grades. More than 80% of students have neglected their studies because they are addicted to online games. The person in charge of the school's student office also told reporters that this phenomenon exists in all universities. It can be seen that even college students, even college students in key universities, if they neglect self-discipline, they will indulge themselves so much and lose their behavioral standards.

What will be the consequences of not being able to exercise strict self-discipline? A reporter from Computer News interviewed a classmate named Yang Jun. He was a player representative. After one semester, he failed almost all subjects and was ordered to drop out of school. When the reporter saw him, he was in the Internet cafe for the seventh consecutive day. He told reporters that he was supposed to be a senior in college and would soon be looking for a job, but he didn't dare to think about anything these days. He didn't know what else he could do besides playing games.

Such a college student was admitted to a key university with excellent results, but because he could not restrain himself, he became addicted to online games, and his future was ruined. What a pity and how sad! It can be seen how important the role of self-discipline is in a person's life.

If a student cannot be self-disciplined and loses only his personal future, then if a state worker cannot be self-disciplined, the nature of the problem will be much more serious. Among the people who got rich first, there were indeed those who got rich through labor and knowledge, but there were also people who obtained ill-gotten wealth through crooked ways, benefiting themselves at the expense of others, and corruption. For these people, once the incident comes to light, not only will they themselves suffer, but their children will be like kites with broken strings and no trace. There is such a thing: a cadre from official to deputy department level embarked on the road of self-destruction due to corruption. Behind bars, he wrote a letter to his son who was studying in the United States: "Dear son, usually your father loves you the most, but today the person who hurt you the most is your unsatisfactory father! While you were studying in the United States, Dad visits you every year, but now he can no longer help you financially and in life... In the future, you must study, know and understand the Dharma in your life..."

As the saying goes, if you had known now, why bother in the beginning. As a state cadre, you should be well aware of the things that are not allowed to be done by the national law. The most fundamental reason why it brings disaster to the country and the people, and ruins the family and life is that you cannot restrain yourself and control your greed. In a word, you cannot be self-disciplined. into the abyss.

Without self-discipline, there is no future, not only for young students, but also for state cadres, and for everyone. But in our lives, among the friends around us, there are still many people who cannot control themselves. They like to immerse themselves in Internet cafes, become obsessed with computer games, or indulge in all kinds of fun and entertainment, wasting time. Here, I would like to warn all "masters of the game of life" to never forget self-discipline. Only by being strict with self-discipline can you have a bright future. This is absolutely true.
