自律，是生活中必不可少的习惯。自律，想拥有它，很难。想要抛弃它，却轻而易举。我曾经因为贪玩，而与自律远离。
Self discipline is an essential habit in life. Self discipline is difficult to possess. I want to abandon it, but it's easy. I used to distance myself from self-discipline because of my love for playing.
一个周六的上午，我一个人在家里写作业。写着写着，我就有点心不在焉的。这时，我又看到了柜子上的绘画本。心想，画会儿画再写作业应该也不迟。于是，我便画起画来。我这一画就忘了时间，转眼一个小时过去了。妈妈也回来了。妈妈翻开作业本时，发现我只写了一页。妈妈生气极了。这时，一种失落和挫败感油然而生。我真的非常后悔，要是我再多抽出一点时间来写作业，也许就不会被妈妈骂了。< zuowEnBa.NeT >
On a Saturday morning, I was doing homework alone at home. As I write, I am a little absent-minded. At this moment, I saw the drawing book on the cabinet again. I thought to myself, it shouldn't be too late to draw for a while before doing my homework. So, I started painting. I forgot the time with this painting, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Mom has also returned. When my mother opened her workbook, she found that I had only written one page. Mom is extremely angry. At this moment, a sense of loss and frustration arises. I really regret it. If I had taken a little more time to do my homework, maybe I wouldn't have been scolded by my mom.
下午，我的绘画本被没收了。换成了许多练习题和作业。此刻我心中有一种说不出来的难过，我想假如我没画画，会不会就没有这么多作业了。
In the afternoon, my drawing book was confiscated. Replaced with many practice questions and assignments. At this moment, I have an indescribable sadness in my heart. I wonder if I hadn't drawn, would I not have so much homework.
从那以后，我写作业就从来没有玩过。因为，我知道了自律的重要性。
Since then, I have never played with homework. Because I have come to understand the importance of self-discipline.
