Discipline has been a key factor to my success.
I have a discipline that has served me very well in my career and in my personal life... and that's gotten stronger as I've gotten older. I've always felt if I don't just have a natural knack for it, I will just out-discipline the competition if I have to - work harder than anybody else.
I don't have a lot of discipline.
Discipline is doing what you really don't want to do so you can do what you really want to do.
