盖迪戒烟。抽烟的人都知道，一旦上瘾，再想戒掉是很不容易的。盖迪曾经是个大烟鬼，烟抽得很凶。有一次，他开车去度假经过法国，天公不作美下起大雨，他的汽车又抛锚了，只好在附近的一个小镇上的旅馆过夜。吃过晚饭，疲惫的他很快就进入了梦乡。凌晨两点，盖迪醒来，他想抽一支烟。打开灯，他自然地伸手去抓睡前放在桌上的烟盒，不料里头却一支也没有了。他下床搜寻衣服口袋，毫无所获。他又打开装行李的箱子翻来覆去地找，希望能发现无意中留下的一包烟，结果又失望了。那就去买一盒，盖迪穿上衣服来到旅馆门外，这时候，旅馆的餐厅,酒吧早关门了。雨还在下个不停，街上一片凄清，所有的店铺都已经打烊了。唯一的办法就是冒雨到自己停在几条街外的车里去拿。越是没有烟的时候，想抽的欲望就越大。有烟瘾的人都有这种体验。盖迪打算去自己的车里拿烟，想起帽子忘在房间里了，至少还可以遮遮雨。他回到房间，刚准备拿帽子时他突然停住了。他问自己：我这是在干什么。盖迪坐在床边寻思，一个有教养的人，而且是相当成功的商人，一个自以为拥有理智的头脑的人，竟要在三更半夜离开旅馆，冒着大雨走过几条街，仅仅是为了得到一支烟。这是一个什么样的习惯，这个习惯的力量难道那么强大。不一会儿，盖迪下定决心决定戒烟。他站起来使www.rensheng5.com劲地伸了个懒腰，然后把那个空烟盒揉成一团扔进了纸篓，脱下衣服换上睡衣回到了床上，带着一种解脱甚至是胜利的心情进入了梦乡。至此，盖迪一生中再也没有碰过一支香烟。他就是闻名世界的美国石油大亨保罗。盖迪。成功提示：自制力是每一个成功人士必不可少的素质之一。当我们面临诱惑时，要用理智的头脑来分清楚孰是孰非，再做出正确地选择。
