This is my fourth writing on Thomas Corley's Rich Habits book.
The third category of rich folks habits can be grouped under one thing: DISCIPLINE. Let's look at some of the habits of the wealthy:
-- reading at least 30 minutes each day, instead of swiping videos or surfing the internet aimlessly
-- setting goals and focus on it for each day, month, and year, instead of drifting aimlessly
-- having a purpose in life,
-- persistent, with passion,
-- save 20%, not over-spending
-- control your emotion
-- listening 5 times more than talking
-- finish tasks for today and every day with “DO IT NOW” mindset
When you look at these habits of the wealthy, you might be thinking: I understand they are good habits. I can do it for a day or two but I don't have the perseverance to keep it up till it becomes part of me.
What we need most is discipline. Discipline means self-control, determination, the will power to keep going until we reach our goal, until we complete the task on hand, until a good habit is formed, until triumph.
At this moment, I can't think of a better proverb than this one, 世上无难事, 只要肯登攀 (Shì-shàng wú nán-shì, zhǐ-yào kěn dēng-pān): No mountain is insurmountable in the world as long as you are willing to climb. In other word, where there's a will, there's a way.
