V　show　and　getting　to　bed　early；　to　be　wide　awake　for　a　meeting　the　next　morning。　Or　it　might　involve　longer…term　resolves。　A　young　widow　with　three　children　decided　to　invest　her　insurance　settlement　in　a　college　education　for　herself。　She　considered　the　realities　of　a　tight　budget　and　little　free　time；　but　these　seemed　small　sacrifices　in　return　for　the　doors　that　a　degree　would　open。　Today　she　is　a　highly　paid　financial　consultant。

The　secret　of　such　mitment　is　getting　past　the　drudgery　and　seeing　the　delight。　“The　fact　is　that　many　worthwhile　endeavors　aren’t　fun；”　says　syndicated　radio　and　TV　mentator　Mort　Crim。　“True；　all　work　and　no　play　makes　Johnny　a　dull　boy。　But　trying　to　turn　everything　we　do　into　play　makes　for　terrible　frustrations；　because　life—even　the　most　rewarding　one　—includes　circumstances　that　aren’t　fun　at　all。　I　like　my　job　as　a　journalist。　It’s　personally　satisfying；　bit　it　isn’t　always　fun。”

Achieving　a　balance　Never　confuse　discipline　with　rigidity。　Perfection　is　not　the　aim；　rather；　strive　for　the　peace　of　mind　that　es　from　being　in　charge　of　yourself。

每個成功者都知道的秘密（4）

Most　of　us　need　interludes　in　our　work　to　take　a　walk　or　eat　snack…whatever　revives　and　refreshes。　Your　breathers　don’t　need　to　be　lengthy　to　shake　out　the　cobwebs　and　give　some　relief。　Such　rewards　act　as　incentives　for　finishing　a　task；　as　well　as　helping　you　to　maintain　momentum。

True　discipline　achieves　a　balance　of　producing；　not　driving。　Eve
