Discipline will defeat intelligence sooner or later.

Hello everyone, my name is Daniel and I live in Chile, this is my first post, and I wanted to develop it with a subject that I dominate, and no, it is not discipline, I characterize myself as a very restless person, when I start my activities in front of computer, I turn it on and my reflex is not to open my code editor, but to open YouTube and see what the cats are doing. The title is nice to read, but it's not mine, it's from Yokoi Kenji, A well-known youtuber of Colombian-Japanese nationality. But it couldn't be more exact, at least in my life, when I entered university to study programming analyst, I entered with a lot of illusion, typical of when one begins, but time put out the fire, perhaps because it would be overwhelming to know a lifestyle that I did not know in my day to day, I finished the degree... How? With the help of my friends and my intelligence, yes, I consider myself intelligent, but what is it worth? It's like seeing a talented soccer player, but he disappears, because he wasn't constant, and we have many examples, of course from that student stage, in terms of knowledge, I have nothing left.

When I left I was living with my aunt and she saw that I was doing nothing for my life, she kicked me out of the house (I don't blame her, that's what anyone would do in her place) and this was a big turning point in my life... I decided to move to the capital, with two points against me, the first, I had no money, but nothing, only for the outward journey, second, I have a disability that forces me to stay in a wheelchair for life I did not mention it at the beginning, because I do not want this to become something to be sad about, but I mention it to put the context, well, with this against me, I decided to jump, because I'm not a coward, when I arrived I had to stay in a place for homeless people, at this point we could say that it would be terrible to face this reality, but I did not see it that way, and there is the word "Discipline", which had a great impact on my life, it had to come out every day at 5 in the morning, work as a street vendor and return before 9 in the night to eat and sleep, a day without work was very, very terrible and that thought gave me strength to get up day after day (I would love to tell you everything I lived, but it would be a long post, if you have any questions, do not forget write it in the comments).
 
Already with the dose of reality and just having the discipline on my side, it helped me not to fall into drugs or delinquency, adding all this I was able to get ahead, how much did it cost me? The truth, a lot, remember that I told you that I passed my studies, without knowing anything, well, you could tell, I couldn't find work in my field, but that didn't stop me and I kept fighting, time has passed, I have a family that I love very much , today I work independently, I get up early for my girls to go to school and then I go to work, have I become an expert in discipline? Not at all, I keep wasting time watching videos of kittens and games in league of legends, but this is when discipline beats laziness, the past reminds me that I had no clear goals, but it's never too late, for you who are reading this much encouragement! You have a dazzling future, but without discipline it will be very difficult.

This is my first post, so I apologize for the redaction and if I didn't express my ideas well, I will continue writing and helping, see you soon.
