Is there any hope for someone who is extremely willful but not all that disciplined? :/

- gruseom 17y agoHave the discipline to read the whole essay; it explicitly addresses that.
- Andys 17y agoOr it may merely explain why you aren't succeeding, even though you are willful :-)
- araneae 17y agoNot really. He says it's possible to become more disciplined, but there's no support for that in the text beyond just the statement. On top of that, there have been all these HN links about how the traditional ways to make oneself disciplined only serve to make the willful types less likely to do them. Nothing kills one's desire to accomplish something more than trying to force oneself to do it. All in all it's an unhelpful essay.
