The undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites and passions

Success in one role can't justify failure in another.

You can't be successful with other people if you haven't paid the price of success with yourself.

Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.

When air is charged with emotions, an attempt to teach is often perceived as a form of judgment and rejection.

If I try to use human influence strategies and tactics of how to get other people to do what I want, to work better, to be more motivated, to like me and each other-while my character is fundamentally flawed, marked by duplicity and insincerity-then, in the long run, I cannot be successful. My duplicity will breed distrust, and everything I do-even using so-called good human relations techniques-will be perceived as manipulative.

I define discipline as the ability to make + keep promises and to honor commitments.
