Self-discipline

Have the discipline to do the little things you don't like, and you can spend your life doing the big things you do like. 

Discipline is not everyone's favorite word. In popularity, it  probably slots somewhere between dentist and diarrhea. But self-discipline makes all the different. life is a trade off instant pleasure and long- team reward.

Self-discipline in the little things- studying instead of TV - leads to a big thing- better qualifications. Self-discipline in the little things- three sessions a week at the gym-leads to a big thing- a healthier life.

Self-discipline in the little things- saving twenty dollars a day instead of blowing it on booze-leads to a big thing - your own apartment.

Something else about discipline: when you are self-discipline, you don't need to get discipline from anywhere else. As a result, you run your own life and people don't tell you what to do.

When you don't have self-discipline, you get it from outside. People who can't discipline themselves often slot into jobs where they take order. People who have absolutely no self-discipline get themselves locked up.
