Gedi used to be a heavy smoker and smoked a lot. Once, he drove through France for a holiday, but it rained heavily and his car broke down, so he had to spend the night in a hotel in a nearby town. Tired after supper, he soon fell asleep.

At two o'clock in the morning, Gedi woke up. He wants a cigarette. Turning on the light, he naturally reached for the cigarette case on the table before going to bed. Unexpectedly, there was no one inside. He got out of bed and rummaged through his pockets, but found nothing. He opened the suitcase again and looked around, hoping to find a pack of cigarettes left by accident, but he was disappointed again. Then buy a box. Gedi put on her clothes and went outside the hotel. At this time, the restaurant and bar of the hotel have already closed. It's still raining, the street is desolate and all the shops are closed. The only way is to get it from a car parked a few blocks away in the rain.

The more there is no smoke, the greater the desire to smoke. People who smoke heavily have this experience.

Gedi was going to get a cigarette from his car, but he remembered that he had left his hat in his room, at least to keep out the rain. He went back to his room and stopped suddenly when he was about to get his hat. He asked himself: What am I doing?

Gedi sat on the edge of the bed and thought that an educated man, a successful businessman, and a man who thinks he has a rational mind left the hotel in the middle of the night and walked across the street in the heavy rain just to smoke a cigarette. What kind of habit is this? Is this habit so powerful?

After a while, Gedi made up her mind to give up smoking. He stood up, stretched himself hard, then crumpled up the empty cigarette case and threw it into the wastebasket. He took off his clothes and put on his pajamas and went back to bed. He fell asleep with a feeling of relief and even victory.

At this point, Gedi has never touched a cigarette in her life. He is the world-famous American oil tycoon-Paul Gedi.

Self-control is one of the basic qualities of every successful person. When we are faced with temptation, we should use a rational mind to distinguish right from wrong and then make the right choice.
