Habit vs Discipline — Smart‑Book (ទម្លាប់ និង វិន័យ)
Quick, bilingual guide to understand the difference, with examples and a clean comparison.
🧠 Habit — ទម្លាប់
Meaning
A habit is something you do automatically, without needing to think much. It forms through repetition.
អត្ថន័យ
ទម្លាប់ គឺជាសកម្មភាពដែលធ្វើដោយស្វ័យប្រវត្តិ មិនចាំបាច់គិតច្រើន ហើយកើតឡើងដោយការធ្វើជារឿយៗ។
Examples
- Brushing your teeth every morning
- Checking your phone right after waking up
- Drinking coffee before starting work
ឧទាហរណ៍
- ដុសធ្មេញរាល់ព្រឹក
- ពិនិត្យទូរស័ព្ទភ្លាមៗបន្ទាប់ពីភ្ញាក់
- ផឹកកាហ្វេមុនចាប់ផ្តើមការងារ
Key idea: Habit = Automatic action built by repetition.
គំនិតសំខាន់៖ ទម្លាប់ = សកម្មភាពស្វ័យប្រវត្តិដែលកើតឡើងដោយការធ្វើជារឿយៗ។
🧭 Discipline — វិន័យ
Meaning
Discipline is the ability to control yourself and do what’s right even when you don’t feel like it. It powers habit‑building.
អត្ថន័យ
វិន័យ គឺសមត្ថភាពក្នុងការគ្រប់គ្រងខ្លួន និងធ្វើអ្វីត្រឹមត្រូវ ទោះបីមិនចង់ធ្វើក៏ដោយ។ វាជាថាមពលបង្កើតទម្លាប់ល្អ។
Examples
- Waking up early even when you want more sleep
- Exercising when you feel tired
- Finishing work before relaxing
ឧទាហរណ៍
- ភ្ញាក់ព្រលឹម ទោះបីចង់ដេកបន្ត
- ហាត់ប្រាណ ទោះមានអារម្មណ៍នឿយហត់
- បញ្ចប់ការងារមុនពេលសម្រាក
Key idea: Discipline = Self‑control that helps create habits.
គំនិតសំខាន់៖ វិន័យ = ការគ្រប់គ្រងខ្លួនឯងដែលជួយបង្កើតទម្លាប់ល្អ។
⚖️ Comparison — តារាងប្រៀបធៀប
| Aspect | Habit (ទម្លាប់) | Discipline (វិន័យ) |
|---|---|---|
| Nature ធម្មជាតិ |
Automatic behavior សកម្មភាពស្វ័យប្រវត្តិ |
Conscious effort ការខិតខំដោយការយល់ដឹង |
| Built by បង្កើតដោយ |
Repetition ការធ្វើជារឿយៗ |
Self‑control ការគ្រប់គ្រងខ្លួនឯង |
| When used ពេលប្រើ |
After behavior becomes routine បន្ទាប់ពីវាក្លាយជាទម្លាប់ |
Before habit is formed មុនពេលទម្លាប់ត្រូវបានបង្កើត |
| Example ឧទាហរណ៍ |
You automatically go jogging every morning អ្នកទៅរត់រាល់ព្រឹកដោយស្វ័យប្រវត្តិ |
You push yourself to go jogging every morning អ្នកបង្ខំខ្លួនឯងទៅរត់រាល់ព្រឹក |
💡 In short — សង្ខេបខ្លីៗ
Discipline is the engine. Habit is the result. Discipline starts the action; habit keeps it going.
វិន័យ គឺជាម៉ាស៊ីនបើកចលនា ទម្លាប់ គឺជាលទ្ធផល។ វិន័យចាប់ផ្តើមសកម្មភាព; ទម្លាប់រក្សាវាឲ្យបន្ត។
