Developing Will-power

for True Success

A humble presentation

by Prof. V. Viswanadham~ with grateful thanks to many sources

for Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence, Ramakrishna Math, Hyderabad.

However you define success

—a happy family, good friends,

a satisfying career, robust health, financial security,

the freedom to pursue your passions—

it tends to be accompanied by a couple of qualities.

When psychologists isolate

the personal qualities that predict

“positive outcomes” in life, they consistently find two traits:

intelligence and self-control. So far researchers still haven’t learned how to

permanently increase intelligence. But they have discovered,

or at least rediscovered, how to improve self-control.

Will-power is control exercised by one’s will.

Will – mental ability

by which a person decides upon

and controls

his or her actions.

Can any thing be done

without Willing ?

Can any thing be achieved

without Control ?

Can anything be accomplished

without deciding upon ?

Can anything be hoped

without acting upon ?

If power is important

Will-power is more important.

If discipline is important,

Self- discipline is much more important.

If ability is important,

Mental ability is much more important.

If control is important,

Self-control is much more important.
