   Mentality is the foundation of thought, as simple as thought, as simple as behavior, and as complex as thought, as complex as behavior.

   In psychology, there are three mental forces called "id", "superego" and "ego". "I" refers to one of the most instinctive thoughts of people. For example, when others are rude to us, we will instinctively feel angry and disgusted. This is the "I."

  "Superego" refers to the reflection of things. For example, at this time, some of us will think about turning our face immediately, and we will treat others as others treat us. Another is to be patient and pretend that nothing has happened. Therefore, the "superego" is the two extremes of thought.

  Next is "self", "self" refers to the treatment of things, we will judge according to our own thoughts, to decide what we should do.

  At the same time, it corresponds to instinct, analysis, and action.

   The "superego" habitually destroys the "id", making people talk and do things always move towards another bad extreme action, which is emotion. In the case of emotional impulses, we will always act irrationally, leading to changes in "self".

  Once people lose themselves, their thoughts will be confused, and eventually they will become moody and strange in their words and deeds. Therefore, in speaking and doing things, we must establish a principle for ourselves, and always tell ourselves what kind of person we should be.

  As thoughts are, so are virtues. A smoker who is addicted to cigarettes, once he thinks of or sees cigarettes, can't help smoking immediately; a man who is obsessed with women's pornography, once he sees a beautiful woman, will always want to pounce impatiently.

  Life is full of temptations and choices, and when we can't resist, we get lost. Therefore, we must always remind ourselves and spur ourselves.

  People, the biggest enemy is not others, but themselves.

  To be successful, you must be disciplined first. Self-discipline is to start implementing it when thinking about it, and self-discipline is first and foremost self-discipline. The strength of self-discipline represents the probability of a person's success. The stronger the self-control, the greater the resistance to the temptation of things, and the stronger the heart. kind of person, is a confident person.

  In the process of self-discipline, once we give up halfway, we will be out of control from now on, and our desires will instantly expand to an unprecedented height. For example, a person who has quit smoking will immediately become much more addicted to smoking once he starts smoking again.

  How to be self-disciplined? We need to always self-suggest, stick to our beliefs, and after a certain length of time, we will find that this has become a habit of ours.

  Self-discipline lies in admonishing, admonishing yourself that if you don't do this, what will be bad. At the same time, it is also about spurring, spurring oneself to learn from others, and encouraging oneself.

  Self-discipline is to change ourselves. When we succeed once, the subsequent changes will be much easier. At the same time, if you fail once, the difficulty will increase again and again, and the desire will also increase again and again.

  No one is perfect, so everyone must learn self-discipline, because there are many desires and greed, we must self-discipline ourselves, control our thoughts, and reflect on our words and deeds. Before self-discipline, we need to prepare accordingly. Once the measures are insufficient, the failure rate will increase.

  In this flamboyant city, the things that attract us are increasing day by day, so we must learn to discipline ourselves, otherwise, if we are not careful, we will be beaten back to hell.
