Bob Knight shares the 4 ingredients of discipline. "My definition of discipline: Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, as well as it can be done - and do it that way all the time."

No excuses. 2: When it has to be done → Timing Procrastination is the enemy. Deadlines aren't suggestions. 3: As well as it can be done → Standard Not halfway. Not good enough. As well as it can be done. 4: Do it that way all the time → Consistency Not when it's easy. Not when you're motivated. All the time. Discipline is choosing temporary discomfort for long-term reward. It's a commitment to yourself - and holding yourself to it. (🎥 Prepare to Win 1996)
