But what does that really mean? Perhaps, if I just concentrate hard enough I can get this self-control thing right.

I have a friend, a teacher, who works with at risk youth. I have never seen him in action, at least not with his students, but I suspect he is very good at what he does. How do I know? He has been my friend for over 10 years, and knows me very well. When I need advice, he is usually the first person I talk to. What is the... Read More
