Self-Discipline

Self discipline is one of the most important that we should have as a student. According in the article of Remez Sasson,expresses itself in a variety of ways

·         Perseverance.

·         The ability not to give up, despite failure and setbacks.

·         Self control.

·         The ability to resist distractions or temptations.

·         Trying over and again, until you accomplish what you set out to do.

Being responsible students, we need to learn how to say “NO” to the things and events that we want. For me, the image above says that when we choose to study even if we knew that we will have a financial problem. We should say no to what we want. We need to have our priority for us to reach our goals. Remez Sasson also enumerates how self discipline helps us;

 

1      Avoid acting rashly and on impulse. As a student we have that called pulse purchases. Specifically the things that we want. Also going to the events that are not included in our budget. We should learn to say no for it. 

2      Fulfill promises you make to yourself and to others. To graduate in the course that we choose is not just for us. Our parents have a lot of sacrifices just to support us especially in our financial needs. We should use the money that they provide in the way for us to be graduated.

 

3      Overcome laziness and procrastination. As a student we need money to provide our educational needs. If ever we have the opportunity to have sideline work we should grab it will help us.

 

4      Continue working on a project, even after the initial rush of enthusiasm has faded away.

5      Go to the gym, walk or swim, even if your mind tells you to stay at home and watch TV. If you don’t have money for gym you can have your jogging at the side river or at the complex. Prefer to exercise without having any payment .for student exercises is needed.

 

6      Continue working on your diet, and resisting the temptation of eating fattening foods. That means avoid eating in fast food chain. Prefer cooking food in your house. It also helps if you bring your own “baon” in school. In that way you can save money and have safe food.

7      Wake up early in the morning.

8      Overcome the habit of watching too much TV. Students in this time really addicted to the dramas. Buying CD’s just to watch what they want. We need to discipline our self to avoid watching those Korean dramas and anything. Instead use the cost of it for the projects in school or for transportation.

9      Start reading a book, and read it to the last page.

10    Meditate regularly.
