Self-Discipline

Self-discipline is when your conscience tells you to do something and you don't talk back.    --  W.K. Hope

Definitions.

You are positive when after checking assumptions, you accept reality and then you look for and implement solutions.

You are negative when you look at the same reality and feel too disempowered to do anything except complain.

You are delusional when you cannot accept the established facts and begin to invent stories and lies to run away from reality.

You are evil when you then try to impose your delusions to make it the reality for others.

Conviction

First you must form a carefully considered view. Then you must stand behind it. It's the opposite of being a lallang.

You also see this in chess do you not? Is that also the difference between strong and weak players? The courage to stand behind your analysis, to make brave decisions for a win.
