16"Although many people think that the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life are entirely harmless, in fact, they actually prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals."
Aristotle used to say : " Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." That is really true, for the elite and celebrity are the ones can control all their behaviors strictly so as to build a good and elegant habit. Every little deed in our lives will lead to what we will become.
Many people think that luxuries and convenience of contemporary life are completely harmless and their latter correction in mind will lead themselves back to what they thought to be good. This is not exactly right, for just as the Newton laws of mechanics discribing the movement of objects, mankind can be the same as far as inertia is concerned. Assuming you a little tired at 6 p.m. , you are planned to finish reading a chapter of the textbook in the evening, but you just tell yourself that I got really exhausted now and in that situation, the learning effeciency will be low, not as good as getting a bit relax ,say watching a movie or playing some PC games. I think most people ( including myself) have gone though these situations and we usually choose the relaxing project. And more sadly and unexpectedly, we find out that when we face the same decision to make the next time , we just choose the same. We may think that it is just a little release but it may form something modelized in your subconsciousness which will more or less influence your choice when facing the similar decision. We must get rid of this inappropriate fixed way of thinking : Don't do evil because it's small.
What we want to and are expected to become are truly strong and independent people. "Strong" means strong faith, strong perseverance, strong mind and strong determination. To strenthen these qualities, you must overcome the entice of relaxing , resting and easiness. To simplify , when you are in the situation mentioned in the former part, you need to restrain the temptation of entertainment , and stick to your schedule to do what you has planned. If you are not strong enough, you will gradually lose yourself , and further become what you do not expect. Fortunately, it is something you can practice , enhance and master : Forcing yourself to choose the bitter but meaningful one, and little by little, you can taste gladness in the process.
"Independent" shows the capability of not being influenced by the outside world. This does not mean that you can ignore the feedback from the others or not take any consideration of the suggests in which some can be really valuable. Independence is the characteristic that one can hold and insist his own perception after viewing the judgements , comments and criticisms. Great persons are the ones who can be different and not afraid of objection, for they believe what they have found, created or reasoned is right, but the current limits in every area just blind the masses. When Einstein first put forward the principle of relativity, the whole academia just took it as a piece of scientific jest dirived from the improper and ridiculous reasoning by a Swiss lunatic. But Einstein did not stop his research in spite of all kinds of obstructions with the belief that as the technology developing , his theory will be proved and accepted, and so it was exactly the latter truth, say the advent of the N-bomb and the discovery of the black holes. Independence is quite important to the explorers in every realms, especially the ones who want to gain a milestone in their domains, no matter it is academy or business.
Everything, however, needs to be done in the premise of being healthy both mentally and physically. Sometimes you just need a break to release your pressure in case of crash. But do not take it as an excuse of avoiding hardwork. In another word, the endurance of these stress is also an important characteristic in becoming sucessful and great.
Keeping away from any thought that involves with luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life, and consequently you will get a strong and independent mind , which helps a lot in your way to outstanding.
