What my father practiced and conveyed to me were principles that made it possible for children to grow up in a stable, two-parent home, where there was a widely accepted code of decency, honesty, honor, and patriotism."

Why do we need to master self-discipline? Or why is self-discipline so important in life? These are the questions I asked myself when I was in college. I did my research and found that every successful person on this planet is master of self-discipline. They know exactly what they need to do and when. It's very simple - when you are self-disciplined then you are conscious. You are focused, and spend your time and energy on activities which you must do. That results in success to boost your confidence.

This audiobook aims to encourage a person's own thinking, not to influence it. The author believes the extensions of thought from any human being are so profuse, they are countless. Normally, there is no cohesiveness of thought. We are consistent neither in our thinking nor in our behavior. We are not wholly integrated persons and cannot, therefore, firmly and positively achieve inner growth. Having your own personal philosophy will give you personal unity. It will allow you to maximize your potential. A person with a philosophy is a mover; without it, one floats and is moved.
