to be able to portend is the best discipline one can have towards themselves. when i have fear to actually go through someting i tell myself i have to do it because i've doubted myself. disciplining yourself is the best discipline one can have towards themselves.
Not everything you'll have to do in your life will be pleasant, but that doesn't mean it isn't necessary. The people who have enough discipline to get down to business and do the things that need to be done will go very far in life. Laziness portends the direction your life is headed, just as hard work assures some sort of success, if only the knowledge you have tried your hardest.
it means that you should protend the thought that you might have to do somethings you don't have to do.
i think he learned how to discipline himsilf because he had a portend that told him he must prepare himself for greater things to come.
ugh to learn to like what you don't like!
to serve as a portend in society as a person you must discipline yourself to accomplish your goals because that is what we are set on this shameful repellent earth.

Well I think I missed this one yesterday... this guy has a strong sense of perfectionism in his Edwardism self religion. It seems to me that this quote isn't exactly my type of expression but is really the portend to other more serious quotes.
that he has to stick with what he believes and do what he has to so. he has to keep his mouth closed and just do it. people who don't discipline themself can not portend as good.
