Lin Zexu was a famous patriotic politician, thinker and poet in Qing Dynasty. His example of self-discipline is admirable. When he arrived in Guangzhou at the beginning of the anti-smoking campaign, officials blocked him in every way, which made his mood fluctuate greatly and he was furious. But he knows that anger won't help, and it may give officials an excuse to attack him. So he tried his best to control his emotions, wrote down the word "control anger" and hung it on the wall as a warning. Whenever he wants to get angry, he looks at the "anger controller" on the wall to suppress his anger. Finally, he succeeded in banning smoking.
Self-improvement means having a strong will and tenacious spirit.
Ostrovsky, a famous Soviet writer, was unfortunately injured, blind and paralyzed in a war. But he has a belief that he must live and live meaningfully. So he began to write novels. He lay in bed, first conceived the outline of the book, thought about the details of each chapter, and then dictated it for people to record. Then copy it yourself; Even though it was late at night, he still insisted on writing ... His wife got up in the morning and saw the written manuscript paper scattered all over the floor, with faint blood on her lips ... Obviously, the faint blood on his lips was bitten out by his painful handwriting to resist the disease. Finally, the book How Steel was Tempered was published in 1934. In the face of people's praise, he shouted: "Long live the tenacious spirit!"
In the long river of history, there are countless such examples; In our daily life, there are also many such deeds. And they all embody the same point, that is, self-discipline and self-improvement are the necessary prerequisites for success.
