“And then God gave me insight: this was winter. It would end, in time, but not by my own doing. My responsibility was simply to know the season, and match my actions and inactions to it. It was to learn the slow hard discipline of waiting. It was my season to believe in spite of-to believe in the absence of evidence or emotion, when there's nothing, no bud, no color, no light, no birdsong, to validate belief. It was my time to walk without sight.” KnowsBelieveEndsHardLightActionBeliefWaitingMy OwnWalksEmotionResponsibilityColorDisciplineEvidenceSeasonsSightWinterInsightAbsenceMy TimeSpiteInactionBudBirdsong Author:Mark Buchanan

“My mother taught me the principles of hard work, setting my own goals and visualizing my future. From my early days with Destiny's Child, I understood I had to be focused and dedicated if I wanted true success. We were taught we needed a plan and the discipline to execute that plan to the fullest. I strongly believe if you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that's easier said than done but keep trying.” IfsKnowsWantTryingBelieveChildrenSaidHardDoneWantedMotherGoalMy OwnPrinciplesDestinyPlansTaughtHard WorkNeededDisciplineEasierUnderstoodFocusedSettingSettingsDedicatedKeep TryingMy FutureTrue SuccessVisualizingEasier Said Than Done Author:Beyonce Knowles
“For some odd reason, I had an early and extreme multidisciplinary cast of mind. I couldn't stand reaching for a small idea in my own discipline when there was a big idea right over the fence in somebody else's discipline. So I just grabbed in all directions for the big ideas that would really work.” MindIdeasReasonBigsMy OwnDisciplineCastsExtremesOddReachingFenceBig IdeasSmall IdeasMultidisciplinary Author:Charlie Munger
“I've always relied on discipline to achieve goals great and small. At a young age, my father instilled a real work ethic in me - and a fear of men. I always felt like if I didn't have a natural knack for something, I could kind of out-discipline the competition as it were. So I would always work as hard as I possibly could, sometimes to my own detriment and my personal life. For me, I think will power and discipline are very synonymous.” IfsThinkingMenKindRealSometimesHardAgeYoungFatherFeltGoalNaturalMy OwnAchieveDisciplineEthicsCompetitionPersonal LifeWork EthicYoung AgeWill PowerKnackReal WorkAchieving Goals Author:Ryan Reynolds
