Self-control
anonymous
Self-control is essential to happiness and usefulness. It is the master
of all the virtues, and has its root in self-respect. Let a man yield to
his impulses and passions, and from that moment he gives up his moral
freedom.
It is the self-discipline of a man that enables him to purse success
with superior diligence and sobriety. Many of the great characters in
history illustrate this trait. In ordinary life the application is the
same. He who would lead must first command himself. The test time is when
everybody is excited or angry, the well balanced mind comes to the front.
There is a special demand for the cultivation of this trait at present.
The young men who rush into business with no good education or drill will
do poor and feverish work. Endurance is a much better test than act of
heroism.
A fair amount of self-examination is good. Self-knowledge is a preface
to self-control. Too much self-inspection leads to morbidness, too little
conducts to careless and hasty action. There are two things which will
surely strenthen our self-control. One is attention to conscience; the
other is a spirit of good will. The man who would succeed in any great
undertaking must hold all his faculties under perfect control, they must
be disciplined and drilled until they quickly and cheerfully obey the will.

今日我酒意未消，
明天不再酩酊大醉；
今日再饮一杯酒，
明天开始新生涯。
