when We are not In full control Of
ourselves.
Many young man has seen fieet-
Ing opportunity elude his grasp be-
cause at the moment the self control
necessary to intelligent reaching was
not his.
Self-control means precisely what
1t reads--the full command of your
self, the captaincy over your mind
and body under military discipline.
1t means to be able to hold your
self in check when natural inclina
ton would cverstep the bounds of
well to be able to speed yourself up
when natural inclination unwisely
lags. 1t Is both brake and throttle
under your hand.
II Is more. 1t is steering wheel too.
1t Is the mental poise which enables
you to scan guideposts and turns In the
road without too much prejudice or
prediction, but rather with an open
mindedness that invites and recognizes
reason.
Self-control keeps you from fighting
when peace is Of greater moment. and
from peace when fighting Is needed
1t keeps you from doing the unwise
thing when emotion or lack OF patience
or momentary weakness or outside
pressure would lead you into indiscre.

Self-control wins many victories. but
makes few enemies. And 1t Is a grea,
conserver Of self-respect. 1t never
