The most important single quality for success is self-discipline. Self-discipline means that you have the ability, within yourself, based on your strength of character and willpower, to “do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.”
Character is the ability to follow through on a resolution after the enthusiasm with which the resolution was made has passed. It is not what you learn that is decisive for your future.
It is whether or not you can put your head down and discipline yourself to pay the price, over and over, until you finally obtain your objective.
You need self-discipline in order to set your goals and to make plans for their accomplishment. You need self-discipline to continually revise and upgrade your plans with new information. You need self-discipline to use your time well and to always concentrate on the one thing, the most important thing that you need to do at the moment.
