THE IRON QUALITY OF SUCCESS
If the first part of courage is the willingness to 
begin
; the second part
of courage is the willingness to 
endure
. It is the courage to hang in
there. It is the courage to stay the course. It is the courage to persist
in the face of every setback and difficulty.
Self-discipline is the iron quality of character. It is what en-
ables you to endure. Self-discipline is the one quality that gives
you the strength that you need to take risks and to move forward
in the face of danger and uncertainty. It is self-discipline, and the
courage that comes from self-discipline, that develops personal
power within you that enables you to overcome any obstacle in
your way.
