G rowing up, there has been times when I set up a reading timetable to enable me study. On the day I pen down my timetable, zeal and enthusiasm often wakes me up to read. On other days, I wake up and snooze my alarm and go back to sleep. The following morning, I wake up very angry with myself for not reading and covering what I ought to have covered in my studies.    At a point, I had to read a book on Self discipline written by Brian Tracy. In this book, Self Discipline is defined as;

We are surrounded daily by friends, family, colleagues and even strangers. Some of them or us even speak without considering the impact of what we say to people, organizations and the nation while some don't. It is therefore very important for us to be careful what we say because our words are powerful. The words you speak does not just affect your life alone. It also affects the people around you.
