    About this ebook

    Man is the supreme being. He excels in his life due to his capacity for arranging his thoughts and learning from experiences. The underlying character that helps him to achieve this is self-discipline.

    Learning helps one progress in whichever field one chooses. However, one must control the mind to do this. Through a systematic approach, one can train the mind to behave in the way one wants. Self-control, the sibling of self-discipline, comes through constant application only. Here in this book, we will see how to take these vital steps to develop willpower and achieve motivation for a successful life.

    You will also read about the difficulties one encounters when one begins training and the methods of overcoming these problems. Happiness occurs when every person in the society has the ability to contribute in a positive way. Learn the methods that help one overcome drawbacks and find the right approach to becoming a useful self-disciplined member of society.

      Chapter 1:  Self Discipline and Success in Life from a Social Perspective

      Develop Habits of Strong Self-Discipline Right from Childhood

      Set up the mechanism

      The social importance of building a strong character cannot be stressed enough. Developing self-control is vital for children (Martin Kocher, et al., April 2012). Children with self-discipline and willpower develop into better citizen because they have more control over their minds and thoughts.  We begin by setting up the mechanism. But we need to decide the exact point of injection of the self-discipline mechanism. Moreover, we need to see that if such a mechanism for injecting self-discipline were in place, whether it would work effectively. Moreover, we need to ascertain in what ways the motivation for a successful life occurs.

      Working of the governing body

      First, let us talk about the mechanism of imparting the means to develop self-control. We see that the governing group needs to function as an independent body. This means that children function as separate cognitive units. The parents or the school will not interfere with the functioning of these children other than for providing the basic amenities. The monitoring of the mechanism that imparts and measures the growth of self-confidence in children takes place through another agency specifically appointed for carrying out the task.

      Directing children from a social perspective

      Children ought to realize the importance of delaying gratification early in life (Martin Kocher et al., April 2012). This will help them develop self-discipline and willpower. Implementing self-discipline in children without looking at any cognitive aspect will impact their academic and health aspects when they grow up. The work that they do and the subsequent economic impact at that point of time depends on the way they develop their self-control today. The pertinent
