Whats the personality trait that keeps us going on?

<<DISCIPLINE>>

So in order to motivate and encourage us, lets post in some quotes here.

Names are not necessary.. Unless you feel like doing so, go ahead~!

I will start with a few..


"It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through."

"Discipline is remembering what you want."

"We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons."

''The time is always right to do what is right. ''

"Half of life is luck; the other half is discipline - and that's the important half, for without discipline you wouldn't know what to do with luck."

"Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds."

"There are no short cuts to any place worth going."

"Self-discipline is a form of freedom. Freedom from laziness and lethargy, freedom from the expectations and demands of others, freedom from weakness and fear--and doubt. He is master of, rather than a slave to, his thoughts and emotions."

Got a whole list of quotes i use to remind myself everyday..

If you're interested in more quotes drop me a message and i will C&P the whole list into a message for you..

Regards,
Edmund

    "If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done."
    -Dale Carnegie

    There is a lot to learn from that one statement.

    Discipline is the state of mind. With discipline one can accomplish anything and everything. Keeping your eyes opened for distractions and consciously focusing on the task ahead takes time and effort. Its not something done over night, because of the previous mental programming. Its wise to reprogram ones mind through affirmations , positive self talk, and auto suggestion in order to change your mindset. Self-discipline is a test of will power, eiher you control your mind or negative stimuli does. The choice is ultimately yours.

    Well, i'm pretty sure they had the discipline to maintain their manners and control the conversation. =) Discipline exist in different forms.. Its a matter of the targeted perception..

    Btw, Here's an update on the quotes!


    "We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit."

    "Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else."

    "Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

    "Well begun is half done."

    "Rule your mind or it will rule you."

    "Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be."

    "Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."


    Alright.. Will update more quotes next time..

    Meanwhile! Work hard guys!! Reap the fruits of your labor after the quality work you have put in! Remember, there are no shortcuts to any place worth going!

    discipline refers to systematic instruction given to a disciple. To discipline thus means to instruct a person to follow a particular code of conduct "order." Usually, the phrase 'to discipline' carries a negative connotation. This is because enforcement of order - that is, ensuring instructions are carried out - is oft "Discipline is the instant willingness and obedience to all orders, respect for authority, self reliance and teamwork. The ability to do the right thing even when no one is watching or suffer the consequences of guilt which produces pain in our bodies, through pain comes discipline."
