Reflection
Discipline
Discipline yourself, and others won't have to.
— John Wooden
स्वयं को अनुशासित करें, और दूसरों को ऐसा नहीं करना पड़ेगा।
— जॉन वुडेन
Why this matters:
Discipline yourself, and others won’t have to. Internal control is the only way to avoid external coercion. By holding ourselves to a higher standard than anyone else would dare to ask of us, we become immune to the demands of others.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
बाहरी जबरदस्ती से बचने का एकमात्र तरीका आंतरिक नियंत्रण है। खुद को किसी और की तुलना में उच्च मानक पर रखकर, हम दूसरों की मांगों से प्रतिरक्षित हो जाते हैं।
