Simplified Meaning:

When a person can manage their cravings and urges, they can handle challenging and important tasks. Think about a student who really wants to play video games but chooses to study for their exams instead. This student is showing self-control by focusing on something that will benefit their future rather than giving in to immediate pleasure. In history, many successful leaders and thinkers practiced self-discipline. For example, Mahatma Gandhi fasted regularly and lived simply to stay focused on his goal of achieving independence for India. By controlling his wants, he could dedicate himself to a greater cause. Anyone can use this advice by practicing self-control in their own life. If you save money instead of spending it on things you don't need, you can achieve bigger financial goals like buying a house or starting a business. This approach helps you stay committed to what truly matters, leading to greater achievements.
