esent. 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 of character than act of heroism.
A fair amount of self-ex***nation 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 strengthen 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.
自制力是获取幸福和成就事业不可或缺的能力。它根植于自尊，掌控着所有美德。一个人如果屈从于自己的情感冲动，便会从此失去精神自由。
历史上的许多伟人都具有一种品质，即自律。自律能使人更勤奋、更理性地追求成功。日常生活中，人们同样需要具有这种特质。想要成为领袖的人，首要条件就是要克制自己，每当激动万分或气愤不已时，便是检验自律能力之时。此刻，人们首先要做的就是平和心气。
当今社会特别需要人培养这种特性。一些没有受过良好教育或培训的年轻人仓促进入商界后，做事急躁而毫无成效。和逞英雄相比，耐性更能检验人的品性。
我们应该适当地自我反省。只有做到自知，才能做到自律。然而，反省过多会导致精神病态，过少则会让我们粗心大意、草率行事。确定能加强自制力的方案有两种，一是注重良知，二是心怀善意。一个人要想在事业上取得成功，就必须很好地把握和控制自己的所有才能；他们必须受到良好的教育和训练，这样才能愉悦地迅速学会服从自身的意愿。
