Dedicated... to all the people who have attended my self-discipline courses, seminars, and lectures.
You provided me with the desire and motivation to write this book. You enabled me to create a self-discipline system that can work for anyone. But, more important, you taught me that life's greatest pleasure lies in helping others accomplish their desires. For this simple lesson,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Investigation of the Better-Than-Average Phenomenon

    People naturally select the principle that places them in the best light, and most are unrealistically optimistic about their personal future (Gazzaniga & Heatherton, 2003) believing they are less susceptible to danger. Job (1999) says, ‘we see ourselves as less likely than our peers to suffer an early heart attack, have cancer, AIDS or a drinking problem but more likely to live past eighty years, own our home and have gifted children'.…

    Staying in Control

    In the essay China’s Biggest Gamble, Henry Blodget addresses the acceptance and priority from the people in the current government idealization. People from china worried more about the ability to produce money than freedom of expression. By speaking to business people he concluded for now money production is their priority. Their economy can succeed without democracy and freedom for now. It’s something citizen’s want in the future. The economy is a priority, an average person accept the situation as long as the government doesn’t mismanage their needs. Clearly for the economy to continue expanding and be as powerful, they need a more efficient system and less corruption. Need of improvement in current system were government relation is not essential for money production. Eventually the evaluation for Chinese version of capitalism will happen if the crash for a new system is to occur in the future. A majority of china claims if an election is taken, current leaders would win the votes. If a revolutionary change is to occur blame would be given to a group of people, not the system because public pressure can probably be controlled. As long as the government unmerited negative treatment can be tossed out it would be controlled. Clearly China’s economy is successful without the need of democracy. What I did not know was how opinionated I became of the people and government idealization after analyzing this essay.…

    Angela Duckworth Personality Traits

    In the research done by Susan Black “The Search for True Grit” it states, “A quarter century later, psychologists and researchers have refined and redefined several related concepts and constructs, including self-control, self-discipline, self-management, and self-regulation. The terms vary, but researchers agree that these traits are essential for school success” (Black 52). This does not only apply to success in school, but also success in the real world. My mother had me at the age of twenty three and disciplined herself to finish her last year of college to become a teacher. Her road to becoming a teacher was not smooth, but because of her self-discipline she managed to finish college and received her bachelors in English, and go on to receive her certification in teaching. Having four children is not easy, but my mother has disciplined herself to keep up with our extremely busy lives. I take part in various organizations such as band, UIL, student council, and National Honor Society, therefore I am required to follow all of the set rules given to me. The set rules given to me are my responsibility to follow, which means I must have self-discipline. For example, meetings for most of the organizations I am involved in are at seven thirty in the morning, therefore I must go to bed early and wake up early to be able to be on time for the meetings. I am currently the drum major of my school’s…

    Conscious Discipline

    After analyzing multiple sources of data it was clear that the behavior program Conscious Discipline helped reduce student misbehavior. One of the most important indicators that were reviewed to come to the conclusion that Conscious Discipline is effective is the data regarding the referral number per week per classroom. As shown in table chart one below each classroom reduced their referrals based on insubordination and misbehavior. Throughout each week, as the study progressed and the strategies were re-taught and reinforced there were fewer referrals. As clearly shown below in Chart F, all three of the Kindergarten classrooms that were studied decreased their number of classroom referrals. Additionally, as shown in Chart A, at week…

    The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Habit 1

    From this habit it says that as human beings we are responsible for our own lives. Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. Part of our self-awareness is understanding our Circle of Concern, our range of concern which we have no mental or emotional involvement. A Circle of Influence is inside the Circle of Concern reflecting the things over which we have control. Self determination, choice, and the power is response to stimulus, conditions and circumstances. Proactive people focus efforts in the Circle of Influence to work on the things they can do something about. The you have the reactive people who focus on the Circle of Concern, the weakness of people, the problems in the environment and things they have no control over. I really like what is said in the book 'We are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of those actions'. I think it is very true no matter what or how you think. Working on yourself first instead of other conditions you can better influence the outcome.…

    Self-Control Theory

    Two or more persons who disagree relate to conflict. For example, one individual of a team wish to lead the team because of prior leadership. The other candidate also wishes to lead the team because of favoritism. This is one prime example of conflict. Another involvement of conflict consists of a clash between an individual work schedule and the hours the employer expects from the employee. Last, conflict deals with struggle. For example, two criminals committing a crime one is more violent than the other. Both have strong intentions to commit the crime, however, only one want to commit murder. The other criminal struggles to proceed as scheduled because murdering goes against the plan. Conflict is a word that causes most people a degree of discomfort, anger, frustration, sadness, and pain (Team Building Inc, 2010).…

    Self Control Theory

    . Self control theory explains that deviance is inherently attractive to everyone. It applies to both legal, illegal and self indulgent actions that are considered deviant in our society, for example , robbery , rape ,using drugs , smoking , drinking and even being obese and being a potato couch .The main reason behind these crimes are low self control , immediate and easy gratification and satisfying short term goals ( Goode, 2015). These college women wanted their body to be thin , but they did not want to do it by exercising and through proper dieting Instead they took they easy path of using drugs and disordered eating which provided them with immediate results and satisfied their short term goals.…

    Controlling My Temper

    Controlling My Temper

    Many people are able to control their anger, unfortunately I often let mine out, for instance by slamming doors and yelling at the people around me. One way I try to prevent an explosion from happening is by attacking something that needs cleaning, in fact almost every neat closet and tidy drawer in the house owes its orderliness to one of my bad moods. Another method I have for working off my anger is running. When I am about to blow up I put on my running shoes and pound the roadway for several kilometers. When my family sees me lacing up my shoes everyone stands clear, they know that I’m like a stick of dynamite with its fuse lit. Cleaning and running are positive ways I cope with anger, however I indulge in one negative way as well, which is eating. When I don’t want to clean or if its raining outside I head for the kitchen .I pull a carton of ice cream out of the freezer and eat the entire liter while holding the dripping container in my hand, or mixing some chocolate chip cookie dough. When the cookies come out of the oven I guard them jealously and eat them all one by one. After an eating binge I don’t feel as tired or cleansed as I do when I run or clean, instead I am depressed and feel disgusted with myself. I am currently trying to stick to my positive anger control methods. I don’t want to gain any more weight. In addition, I don’t want to anger cycle by becoming angry with myself. It is not easy to struggle with anger, butI know I must.…
