Warren Buffett: "[Gambling] is a tax on stupidity."
"Rich people love [legalized gambling] because they don't have to pay. To the extent that states raise money from people who the dollar really means something to them, it actually relieves the taxes on me or other rich people. It's not direct, but it's the net effect."
"I don't like things that make a sucker out of people. I don't think the function of the government is to play its people for suckers."
Nick Saban shares one of the best definitions of discipline and the two questions that determine your success.
"Discipline defined: Do what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it, the way it's supposed to get done."
"Do the right thing, the right way, the right time, all the time."
Then he talks about self-discipline and the two questions to ask yourself:
"But I'm talking about self-discipline."
"We answer hundreds of questions every day that come down to these 2 things."
(1) "Here's something I know I'm supposed to do that I really don't want to do. Can you make yourself do it?"
(2) "And then over here - there's something you know you're not supposed to do, but you want to do it. Can you keep yourself from it?"
The willpower battle that you fight every day.
Self-discipline is choosing what you need over what you want in this moment..
"But we're talking about feeling versus choice."
"You're gonna do what you feel like doing or you're gonna choose to do the things you need to do to be successful. And there's a difference in that."
To achieve your goals, you need to choose daily discipline over motivation.
It means prioritizing your goals and what you want for the temporary discomfort of today.
