Discipline or selfishness

[springtech]

My friends complain a lot that I am too stingy, I have this strong principles not to touch and spend money anyhow. I find it difficult to touch my business money even if an in need of a dieing need as far as it is not business Matter
Is this discipline or selfishness?

This is a dicey one. I am like you. I am disciplined and principled but i always tend to know when to draw the line between discipline and humanity.
I can't have a serious life threatening situation at hand and am there talking of principle. What comes first, life or principle. Of what value is principle when life is not valued?

Self-discipline says go, and keep it going. Self-control is discipline in the face of pressure from an immediate urge, desire or compulsion. Self-control relates to delaying immediate gratification of the senses. Its struggle is the conflict between intellectual knowing and emotional desiring.

Don't for any reason let people define you. The fact that you just said you have a goal and a mission for a business to save for , and anyone tells you that you're too selfish, do not even bother yourself about their banter. Just maintain your docus

Being selfish has its reasons so it depends on how you look at things. Frugality and selfishness are like first cousins but it doesn't mean that you are selfish if you are frugal. Yes, self-discipline in spending is good for the financial health. I have experienced being too generous at my own expense. Now I have learned to be frugal but not selfish.

When kids grow up, they pay more attention to themselves. This is a completely normal phenomenon as kids become aware of who they are and go through new cultural and social dynamics. Usually, children are averse to the thought of being an odd one out in a crowd. So, they focus on their own behaviour and looks in order to fit in the crowd.

Under the authority-based way children are raised, we all learned discipline through obedience. Obedience is not self-discipline. It is other-discipline. It is the discipline horses and dogs learn from their trainers and that slaves learn from their masters. Many of us never truly learned self-discipline, but only other-discipline. Sure, some of the obedience-based habits we picked up stuck. But they start to fade as soon as we’re left without an authority figure. That’s why, even as adults, so many of us need the positive and negative reinforcement of bosses or instructors to keep us on task.

Discipline is the practice of making people obey rules or standards of behaviour, and punishing them when they do not. Order and discipline have been placed in the hands of headmasters
Selfishness is being concerned excessively or exclusively, for oneself or one's own advantage, pleasure, or welfare, regardless of others.

In business, you have to be discipline and as a result of your discipline, some people would take it has selfishness. Although, some boss are selfish, they can't boost their workers performance with incentives. Each time they alway want them to work hard for the little peanut they pay which is very bad.

I honestly think it is discipline, because if you have a target to meet every kind of spending irritates, this kind of attitude should be in anyone who want to start a business, I dont even think its selfishness, I think its stinginess and it isn't bad at all.

That's not selfishness to me because is not as if you are taking your business money to enjoy yourself all alone,but you are keeping it for a future purposes so to me it is not selfishness in anyway you are only being descipline that's all I could say on this article for now ...

 

[WhiteHouse]

It's discipline and I'll suggest you to follow your discipline not many People can do what you just did, Business money shouldn't be used for any other thing apart from buiness, don't mix your business with pleasure it won't end well

 

[shalom]

Actually i think you are quite a fantastic business person, maybe a bit rigid as regards to this scenario but your are a good investor that is disciple enough to overcome certain temptations.

In the office, instead, you know, working, you start the day with an hour on Reddit. At home, instead of following this online side tag, or progressing through this Admi course on AdWords, you watch half a season of Luke Cage on Netflix and then go to bed very late.

Why does this happen? Why can't you ever put your butt in gear and put it in gear? You know you'll be happier, less stressed, and have a better life if you can just be more disciplined

 

[Asad Ali]

Maybe you're greedy or stingy, I can't really tell. But what I think is that if you want to save money in order, the best is to be disciplined. But there's always no way you don't invest as much as you can. Then you'll be able to give your friend a little if your friend wants it, if you are saving money for Self before your friend.

 

[Erik4150]

Selfishness is just a habit of caring only for yourself and always prioritize your interest over others. So I don't think being stingy or rather prudent with money makes one selfish. You are just trying to show financial discipline.

 

[Mostee501]

Actually some people mistake discipline for selfishness,weather or not you decide to give or not to give, its your money you can decide to do whatever you want to do with it,it's what you earn from working hard. But one little advice, don't starve yourself because it's the living that can

 

[Draysongz]

It's discipline not to touch your business!one. However, you can't tell !e you don't have other source of income or you don't have any cash with you apart from your business money, maybe why your friends say you're stingy us because you don't give even if it's not your business money

@Layefa94 That's more of disciplined person and I suggest you continue if you truly want to grow your business. As an entrepreneur, it is of utmost importance to know that a business is an ENTITY of it own whose resources shouldn't be used for personal projects. Business resources should always be for business.

Well, one must learn to give others who are in need. You might havw your principles but sometimes principles might be broken to avoid selfishness. Having principles is a very nice thing because it controls spending but yet know how to help othwea in need.
You might also need their help later in the future.
