“I define self-control, in the beginning of life, as the choice of achieving what I really want by doing things I really don't want to do. Once this becomes a habit, discipline becomes the choice of achieving what I really want by doing the very things I now want to do! I really believe that a disciplined life becomes a joy--but only after we have worked hard to practice it.” WantBelieveSelfHardJoyChoicesPracticeAchieveHabitDisciplineSelf ControlBeginning Of LifeDisciplined Life Author:John C.

“I don't think it's illegal. I don't think it's against the rules.
