Seri: 365 days with self - Discipline
---------------Week 3-----------------------
Day 15: On Constant Improvement
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
—Peter Drucker 14
Just like knowledge, you can’t take self-discipline for granted. Unfortunately, being a self-disciplined person isn’t a “one and done” kind of thing. Once you have learned how to live that way, you can still lose it if you don’t consistently strengthen it by setting new challenges and rejecting instant gratification in favor of bigger future rewards.
Never assume that you’re “disciplined enough.” There’s always a new area in which you can improve your self-control and further expand your comfort zone.
For example, regular exercise poses no challenge for my self-discipline. In order to strengthen it, I need to set bigger and bigger exercise-related challenges for myself.
Instead of focusing on fitness, I can also find a new area in which my discipline is lacking (such as developing more patience when dealing with other people) and focus on improving it until it’s no longer a test for my resolve.
Such consistent practice ensures that you’re at least maintaining your level of self-control, and ideally always getting better at it.

Just like knowledge, you can’t take self-discipline for granted.Y hệt như kiến thức, bạn không thể xem khả năng tự kềm chế là chuyện đương nhiên. Unfortunately, being a self-disciplined person isn’t a “one and done” kind of thing. Thật không may, trở thành một người có kỷ luật bản thân không phải là một việc "làm là làm".Once you have learned how to live that way, you can still lose it if you don’t consistently strengthen it by setting new challenges and rejecting instant gratification in favor of bigger future rewards. Khi bạn đã học được cách sống theo cách đó, bạn vẫn có thể đánh mất nó nếu bạn không liên tục củng cố nó bằng cách đặt ra những thử thách mới và từ chối sự hài lòng tức thì để có được những phần thưởng lớn hơn trong tương lai.
Never assume that you’re “disciplined enough.”Đừng bao giờ cho rằng bạn “đủ kỷ luật". There’s always a new area in which you can improve your self-control and further expand your comfort zone. Luôn có một lĩnh vực mới mà bạn có thể cải thiện khả năng tự kiểm soát và mở rộng hơn nữa vùng an toàn của mình.
For example, regular exercise poses no challenge for my self-discipline. Ví dụ, tập thể dục thường xuyên không đặt ra thách thức nào đối với tính tự kỷ luật của tôi. In order to strengthen it, I need to set bigger and bigger exercise-related challenges for myself. Để củng cố nó, tôi cần đặt ra những thử thách lớn hơn và lớn hơn liên quan đến tập thể dục cho bản thân.
Instead of focusing on fitness, I can also find a new area in which my discipline is lacking (such as developing more patience when dealing with other people) and focus on improving it until it’s no longer a test for my resolve.
Thay vì tập trung vào thể lực, tôi cũng có thể tìm ra một lĩnh vực mới mà kỷ luật của tôi còn thiếu (chẳng hạn như phát triển tính kiên nhẫn hơn khi giao tiếp với người khác) và tập trung vào việc cải thiện nó cho đến khi nó không còn là thử thách cho quyết tâm của tôi.
Such consistent practice ensures that you’re at least maintaining your level of self-control, and ideally always getting better at it.
Thực hành nhất quán như vậy đảm bảo rằng ít nhất bạn đang duy trì mức độ tự chủ của mình và lý tưởng là luôn trở nên tốt hơn trong việc đó.
