1.

self control cis essentially being in control of one's own mind rather than being in
control of one's mind..
2. in simple words self control is forming sound judgments, that means identifying
preferable from pleasurable in each situation and avoiding temptations of pleasurables &
opting for preferable..
3. a man though having enough abilities is not reliable if he/she has not control over
his/her self.. Sometimes our abilities and capabilities lead us to ego and it ultimately leads
us to disaster..
Self control adds stability to our abilities and capabilities..
4. As you all know that each of us ids having 4 personalities: child, youth, adult and
elder..
Whenever a pleasurable thing is seen, the child within us "needs" it and asks" for
it.. The youth within us "wants" it and "takes" it, often forcefully and that is the cause for
many reactions within us and from
Outside and that is the root of conflicts within and conflicts with outside...
5. So self control is joining the child with elder and the youth with adult...
6. Timeliness in actions, harmony in feelings, truth in thoughts is perfect self control...
7. it is the way to move from negative thoughts , feelings and actions towards positive
thoughts , feelings and actions...
8. Avoid anger, hate, dislike, irritation, emotional outburst and other negative feelings...

9. Self control is being positive, avoiding negative and constantly improving oneself...
10. The entire teaching of Buddha Gautam for avoiding grief and finding ultimate truth is
summarized in the following lines:
WHAT IS EVIL THAT DONT DO
WHAT IS GOOD YOU DO
KEEP YOUR MIND EVER PURE TOO
THAT IS BUDDHAS TEACHING FOR YOU
Dhammapada: 11-5
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car
windows.
- Erma Bombeck
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
- Bible

As far as your self-control goes, as far goes your freedom.


- Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Self-control is the quality that distinguishes the fittest to survive.


- George Bernard Shaw

I exercise self-control and never touch any beverage stronger than gin before breakfast.
- W. C. Fields

Self-Control
by Author Unknown

I've heard it said don't go to bed


while hanging on to sorrow,
you may not have the chance to laugh
with those you love tomorrow.
You may not mean the words you speak
when anger takes its toll,
you may regret your actions
once you've lost your self-control.
When you've lost your temper
and you've said some hurtful things,
think about the heartache
that your actions sometimes bring.
You'll never get those moments back,
such precious time to waste,
and all because of things you said
in anger and in haste.
So if you really love someone
and your pride has settled in,
you may not ever have the chance
to say to them again....
"I love you and I miss you,
and although we don't agree,
I'll try to see your point of view,
please do the same for me."

Dalai Lama
