SELF-DISCIPLINE IN DOING RIGHT
Self-discipline in doing right is the means by which one can attain to peace of mind and direct it to the attainment of worthwhile purposes. It fosters the virtues of INTEGRITY and HUMILITY, the essence of the good man.
Doing what is right is a very practical rule for success. When you do what your conscience tells you is right, it prevents a poisonous guilt complex from developing. This in turn creates peace of mind and confidence.
Self-discipline is one of the riches of life.
