A mechanic and a heart surgeon discuss their professions and the difference in pay. The concept of 'follow your heart' is explored, highlighting the importance of self-discipline and critical thinking in career decisions.
A mechanic is talking to a heart surgeon. “We do the same thing in our lines of work. You work on hearts; I work on engines, which is the heart of a car.”
Many modern-day career advice promote ideas that downplay the significance of self-discipline and thinking. Phrases like “follow your passion,” “be yourself,” and “always listen to your heart” encourage us to prioritize emotions over rational thinking. This advice seeks to diminish our inner critic and lessen the societal expectations that push us to compromise for others. It urges us to unwind, adopt a laissez-faire attitude and indulge ourselves without feeling ashamed or burdened by guilt.
Moreover, the advantages of self-control extend beyond the individual to benefit their peers, coworkers and society as a whole. Notably, teams led by conscientious, self-disciplined individuals tend to collaborate more effectively, surpass other teams in performance, and experience elevated morale and job satisfaction.
For instance, if you exert considerable effort to resist consuming sugary foods and beverages, you’ll have less energy to curb impulses like online shopping or the urge to engage in heated arguments with troublesome colleagues, opting for politeness instead. The less self-control you exert in one aspect, the fewer reserves you’ll have to exercise elsewhere.
Moderate self-control strikes a balance between discipline and adaptability, allowing individuals to pursue their goals while remaining open to life’s unpredictabilities and occasional indulgences. This, in turn, promotes psychological well-being. Extreme self-control may result in stress, burnout and a diminished capacity to savor life’s pleasures. It’s essential to approach personal and professional life as a delicate equilibrium between rational self-management and self-compassion.
