À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

Motivation is often seen as unreliable,

a fleeting feeling that doesn’t always

show up when needed. It is just an

emotion, hence it comes and goes.

One would wonder, “How can I

become motivated about a task I hate?”

Well, you don’t. What you need in such

instances is discipline.

Those who work with passion and

dedication each day are not motivated.

They wake up every morning like

everybody else: tired, unmotivated,

probably grumpy. However, they get to

work because they possess discipline.

What makes the difference between

success and failure is discipline, not

motivation. Following feelings will lead

to idleness. Discipline says, “I don’t

feel like working today, but I’ll work

anyway.”

Being disciplined doesn’t mean

delivering when things are easy; it

means giving your best, even on hard

days. It’s doing the ‘must-do’ things,

not the ‘easy’ things. As a soldier on

the border, or the last-minute penalty

taker, a disciplined person gets up,

assumes his responsibilities and does

his job, irrespective of feelings.

Whereas most would seek comfort

and rest after hard work, some

relentless go-getters find satisfaction

in the struggle and hustle. They draw

their edge by working relentlessly, even

when everyone else is taking a nap.

Mr. and Miss Discipline don’t want

to be average. Fear of failure will have

them ever ready. The fear of

mediocrity can be your drive.

Many people accept being average and

just blend with society. Others refuse

it and yearn to have a different life

through relentless effort.

Success breeds in disciplined approach

down to the smallest tasks.

One becomes able to achieve major

successes just by being punctual,

prepared, and meticulous.

Be strict with yourself.

Most people move through life

without a definite plan.

Those individuals create excuses that

others are the reason behind their

failure or they weren’t “lucky” enough.

People, however, who stand to be

accounted for labouring with

discipline, become successful.

The world values those who overcome

obstacles with bravery and

determination. With discipline comes

new found dimensions of

accomplishment. It changes

dreamers into doers and creates a

bridge between goals and reality.

Just be disciplined in everything you

do, and watch your life transform!
