Self-control is a key factor in achieving success. We can't control everything in life, but we can definitely control ourselves. El dominio propio es un factor clave para alcanzar el éxito. No podemos controlarlo todo en la vida, pero sí podemos controlarnos a nosotros mismos.

Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. La autodisciplina comienza por el dominio de nuestros pensamientos. Si no controlamos lo que pensamos, no podemos controlar lo que hacemos.

To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves. Para gozar de libertad es preciso que nos controlemos a nosotros mismos.
