FACT: A person with good self-discipline will ALWAYS
be more successful than a person who lacks self-discipline.
Anyway that you measure success, this is true...
After teaching thousands of people in several countries
for the past 25 years or so, I have developed some clear
thoughts on this subject.
I have developed a successful method of teaching self-discipline.
My students, both male and female range from ages 3 to 75.
=====
Tip #1
Self-discipline MUST be taught. Very few people possess
this as a gift. It is a skill that must be learned.
=====
But first let's get a definition.
Discipline by Webster's definition is to educate; to develop
by instruction and exercise; to train.
That is why most people think of discipline as providing
punishment to correct a behavior.
It is also why when people talk about discipline they are
often talking about it being applied to someone else.
There seems to be two main reasons that people come
to me for martial arts lessons: self-defense or to help
them become more disciplined.
My job is fortunately more positive. As a teacher, my job
is to get a student to discover his own learning style and
how to stick with a concept until he reaches some
predetermined goal.
That's why my school is called "The School of Self-Discipline."
I will have done my job if the student has learned enough
self-discipline to transfer the skills learned at the school (dojo)
to other parts of his or her life.
In Part 2 - I will talk about why drills are the best way to become
self-disciplined.
All the best to you.
