They think motivation is a 'positive feeling' that helps you do things.
When they feel this certain kind of way, they take action.
But when they don't feel this 'positive feeling' they resign.
That isn't motivation.
5 Ways To Develop Discipline And Use It To Crush Your Goals.
Motivation will not make you successful.
Discipline will.
Look at the lives of truly successful people and you'll see this is true. (Thread)
They think motivation is a 'positive feeling' that helps you do things.
When they feel this certain kind of way, they take action.
But when they don't feel this 'positive feeling' they resign.
That isn't motivation.
Motive + Action.
Motivation is the motive behind the action.
It is the reason for the action.
The why!
For example, why do you want to start a business?
So you can have freedom, yeah?
That is the motivation.
But even with a strong 'why' many people still struggle with staying dedicated to their goals.
Why?
They lack discipline.
Today I'll share 5 ways you can develop godlike discipline to crush your goals.
When you decide to discipline yourself what you are saying is that you want to
'Train yourself to become a disciple to certain principles and ways of life.'
Here are the 5 ways to Get It Done:
I think this point is better said this way:
'Shun instant gratification.'
We are naturally wired for instant results.
You rake alcohol, you want to instantly feel high.
Post on social media, expect the likes & shares to be instant
Meet a lady today and want her to like you enough to go to bed with you instantly.
Start learning a skill and want to be baddass on day 1.
You need to train yourself to be numb to instant results.
We overestimate what we can achieve in one month and underestimate what we can do in one year.
Understand that every achievement is a process, and processes take time.
Thinking this way will help you 'train' yourself to stay consistent.
Success come from doing the boring work.
Yes, they say 'pursue your passion and you'll always be excited and enthusiastic. "
That is half the truth.
Sometimes boring work.
It is boring to sit and study (alone).
It is boring to sit and take a course (alone).
It is boring to sit and practice that skill you are learning.
It is boring to sit in meetings discussing visions and plans.
These things are boring.
And that is why we run from them.
So you have to get used to doing the boring work.
Learn to say NO to things that prevent you from being productive.
Sometimes these are things you like.
For instance, you decide to read or study for an hour, but every 10 minutes you check Twitter.
You just can't resist the notifications.
Stop it.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.
Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:
He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party
One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.
Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.
6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices
https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x
PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.
735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices
https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ
The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.
The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
