Why you need to manage your feelings and actions
Is it worth it to strive for self-improvement, do self-education? After all, surely this is difficult? Yes, it’s worth it. Open the biography of any famous person – and you will see that each of them has become what he has become, largely due to self-education. Here, for example, the landmark-rules, which our fellow countryman-the famous teacher Konstantin Ushinsky-planned for himself with the goal of self-education.
Tranquility is uttermost, in extreme cases, – external. Straightness in words and deeds. Weighed actions. Determination. Do not talk about yourself without even a single word. Do not waste time: do what is necessary, not what you want. Every evening honestly report to yourself. Never flaunt either what was, nor what is, nor what will be. Do not show this to anyone.
The ability to create oneself is one of the incomprehensible abilities of a person. Meanwhile, it is important to do this in time, in childhood and adolescence, when the whole
For example, in order to develop the habit of controlling ourselves and polishing good manners, we suggest using the following method.

Some people complain about their lack of perseverance. Because of this, most of their good intentions are not realized, because there are always circumstances that prevent them from starting to implement the plan. To get rid of this defect, you should first of all stop justifying your indecision or your laziness with unfavorable conditions.

If the case is rather complicated, you need to act step by step, first accurately determining what and when to do, and systematically monitor the execution of each stage.
Thus, any deficiency inherent in a person can be eliminated or, at least, “muffled”, and a positive quality is developed. In order to become better, you just need to know yourself and strive for self-improvement. It is also important to remember that in order to achieve the great, one must start small.
