No personal success，achievement，or goal，can be realized without self-discipline． 1. It is the ability to control one’s impulses , emotions , desires and behavior．To possess it is to be able to make the decisions，take the actions，and carry out your plan regardless of the obstacles，discomfort，or difficulties，that may come your way．
How to develop self-discipline? We’ll explore it together．
· Start with baby steps．No process takes place overnight． 2. So，begin by making the decision to go forward and learning what it takes to get there．
· Learn what motivates you and what your bad triggers are． 3. Sometimes it is very difficult to fight off urges，so know the areas where your resistance is low and how to avoid those situations．Remove the temptations and surround yourself with encouraging items such as motivating slogans and pictures of what you want to achieve．
· Make certain behaviors a routine．Once you have decided what’s important to you and which goals to strive for , establish a daily routine that will help you achieve them． 4. They can put you in a negative frame of mind and hinder(阻碍)your self-discipline．A poor attitude can also be a bad habit．
● 5. Michael Jordan has always maintained that his greatness as a basketball player came as much from his willingness to work hard at his craft，as it did his talent．It was his desire through discipline and focus that made him one of the best basketball players ever．If it worked for him，it could certainly work for the rest of us．
A．What is self-discipline?
B． Engage in sports or activities．
C．Get inspiration from those you admire．
D．You can begin by learning about yourself !
E．If you try to do too much at once , you could injure yourself and have a setback．

G．It does mean learning how to focus your mind and energies on your goals until they are accomplished．
Some people like to listen to the Beatles．while others prefer Gregorian chants．When it comes to music , scientists find that nurture can overpower nature．
A study shows musical preferences seem to be mainly shaped by a person’s cultural upbringing and experiences rather than biological factors．“Our results show that there is a profound cultural difference in the way people respond to consonant(和谐的)and dissonant(不和谐的)sounds，and this suggests that other cultures hear the world differently,” says Josh McDermott．a scientist in Cambridge．
Some scientists believe that the way people respond to music has a biological basis and that this would overpower any cultural shaping of musical preferences , effectively making them a universal phenomenon．Some musicians．by contrast , think that such preferences are more a product of one’s culture．If a person’s upbringing shapes their preferences，then they are not a universal phenomenon．
The trick to working out where musical preferences come from was to find and test people who hadn’t had much contact with Western music．McDermott and his team travelled by aeroplane，car and canoe to reach the remote villages of the Tsimane’ people，who are largely isolated from Western culture．
In their experiments，McDermott and his colleagues investigated responses to Western music by playing combinations of notes to three groups of people：the Tsimane’ and two other groups of Bolivians that had experienced increasing levels of exposure to Western music．The researchers recorded whether each group regarded the notes as pleasant or unpleasant．
The Tsimane’ are just as good at making acoustic(声响的)distinctions as the groups with more experience of other types of music，the scientists find．Most people prefer consonant tones，but the Tsimane’ have no preference between them．“This pretty convincingly rules out that the preferences are things we’re born with，’’ McDermott argues．
“Culture plays a role．We like the music we grew up with，”agrees Dale Purves，a scientist at Duke University．“Nature versus nurture is always a fool’s errand．’’It’s almost always a combination，he adds．
