A good life is impossible without self-discipline.
First of all it can be said that self-discipline is for the adults and for the mature although
not all, adults are mature nor all youngsters immature, for a person�s physical age
is not necessarily parallel to his mental age. Although it is generally true� that
children are kept in custody by adults,� criminals are restrained by authority, and
the deranged con fined in institutions� because of their lack of the capacity for
self-discipline, it is not equally true that all� adults as free men exercise self-
discipline.
One can also observe that animals, which live by instinct,
do not � possess the capacity of self-discipline, which is, indeed, a unique human
trait. Yet,� not all human beings are interested to exercise and develop this unique
human trait.�
