“Don’t join the queue of ignorant people who do not know that their time flies away into vanity daily. Don’t be a part of the lazy lot who cannot discipline themselves in solitude to convert their time into products or added value.”

“Discipline is the thing that makes you do what you might not want to, but you do it anyway because it’s what you have to do in order to get what you want or desire.”

“People who discipline themselves to get up and do things they don’t necessarily love or like doing, but do it regardless to succeed are people who will get the results and the success they are looking for.”

“Sometimes you’ve got to do things you dislike to get a life you’ll love to have. Sometimes you have to sacrifice joy and comfort in the present to get greater joy and comfort in the future.”

“Stop seeing discipline as something you hate or dislike; start embracing it, start loving it, start seeing it for the friend of your success that it really is, and start seeing comfort for the enemy of your success that it really is.”

“All the things that are worth doing, take time.”

“I have come to realise that discipline is not about rules. Discipline is about respect.”

“All writing is discipline, but screenwriting is a drill sergeant.”

“Discipline imposed from the outside eventually defeats when it is not matched by desire from within.”

“Sometimes you have to go through temporary discomfort and make temporary sacrifices; in order to get long term success and comfort.”

“You need three things to become a successful novelist: talent, luck and discipline. Discipline is the one element of those three things that you can control, and so that is the one that you have to focus on controlling, and you just have to hope and trust in the other two.”

“DisciplineI am old and I have hadmore than my share of good and bad.I’ve had love and sorrow, seen sudden deathand been left alone and of love bereft.I thought I would never love againand I thought my life was grief and pain.The edge between life and death was thin, but then I discovered discipline.I learned to smile when I felt sad, I learned to take the good and the bad, I learned to care a great deal morefor the world about me than before.I began to forget the “Me” and “I”and joined in life as it rolled by: this may not mean sheer ecstasybut is better by far than “I” and “Me.”
