When I was in the middle school, I was amazed at one boy who was not very clever but he always scored high in the exams, why was it like that?

The list the like is long, this question jolted me once again this morning when I was jogging, series of questions popped up as if I can conjure up inspirations, they are like : why some people can endure hardship, loneliness and even boredom than others under the same circumstance? why some people can resist temptations and lead a polished and noble life? why some people can be consistent in their pursuit without wavering? why some people have perseverance to hold on to their hopes?

The answer is more or less the same, those people can control themselves, they not only have strong will, but also develop good habits, they reinforce their positive attitude often, they reflect and meditate their life often, they are not rigid people though they stick to their tasks like glue sticks to the targeted objects, they can flex their mind's muscles enough when they feel needed, they not only survive but also thrive, they not only talk but also act.
