Self-Control: The Key to Success!

Here is an article from an Australian publication. I've often told my students that, when it comes to actuarial and general business success, intelligence is no more than 1/3 of the equation (and perhaps less) -- that other factors (discipline, communication skills, etc.) are worth at least twice as much. Here's more ammunition.

By the way, this article also explains why I never try to resist a chocolate-chip cookie (or "biscuit," as they call them in the UK and Australia): I'm saving my willpower reserves for much more important matters! (-:
