What is self-discipline?The prerequisite for hard work is self-discipline. Success is only possible when you can overcome the natural tendency to take shortcuts and take the easy path. Sustained success is only possible when you can discipline yourself and work hard for a long, long time. Napoleon Hill wrote that “persistence is to the character of man, as carbon is to steel.” He also said that “Before success comes into any man's life, he is sure to encounter many temporary defeats and, perhaps, some failure. When a man is defeated, the simplest and most logical thing to do is to quit. This is exactly what most men do." It is your persistence that measures your self-confidence and your ability to succeed. If you can persevere long enough and believe in yourself and your ability to work hard enough, you will eventually succeed in whatever endeavor you set your mind to. Failure is Necessary A huge weakness in some people is the fear of failure. Failure seen as weakness is wrong. Failure should be seen as the stepping stone to success. As Thomas Edison said: “Our greatest weakness is to give up. The surest way to succeed is always to try one more time.” This means that to succeed you will fail. To become a master in your craft you must have the ability to accept that you will fail on your journey to establish expertise in your area of ​​expertise. The only way to overcome this problem is to try again or give up. You can give up easily, but it is your self-discipline that will allow you to try again and again until you finally succeed, no matter how big or small the goal.

William James of Harvard said that “faith creates fact.” In the Bible it says: "According to your faith it will be done to you." If you believe strongly and confidently enough, your external world will tend to conform to a pattern consistent with these beliefs. The Bible also says, “All things are possible to him who believes.” Keep your vision clear in front of you and take continuous positive action, every hour and every day. Develop a sense of urgency to improve. Move quickly when the opportunity presents itself. Maintain a bias for action. Fast pace is essential for success. The faster you move, the more energy you will have to complete future practice.
