Discipline Is Destiny: The Power of Self-Control

by Ryan Holiday

We don’t rise to the occasion, we fall to the level of our training.

You can get angry … the important thing is not to do anything out of anger.

“Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less.”

We decide whether we’ll deserve what we’ve gotten.

The Japanese word for this is kaizen. Continual improvement. Always finding something to work on, to make a little progress on. Never being satisfied, always looking to grow.

“Love the discipline you know, and let it support you.”
