In my opinion, discipline doesn’t stop at enduring discomfort; in order to optimize, one must have the discipline to question their ideals, question their assumptions, and even what resonates in the depths of their heart. One must have the discipline to entertain a premise with an objective eye, and run experiments to see if it’s valid.
Discipline doesn’t just apply to hard work, it applies to an open mind.

Thank You Back Joe! Indeed, all obstacles are about effective assessment and effective execution. Problems arise when we tackle new obstacles without respecting the fact they may differ from the old in some crucial way.

Another bit of mental justice. My professor would state, open minds are like sponges — they absorb everything. You need active minds to to enforce GIGO.
