The way to learn to run is to run, the way to learn to swim is to swim.
The way to learn to develop will-power is by the actual exercise of
will-power in the business of life. “The man that exercises his will,”
says an English essayist, “makes it a stronger and more effective force
in proportion to the extent to which such exercise is intelligently and
perseveringly maintained.” The forth-putting of will-power is a means of
strengthening will-power. The will becomes strong by exercise. To stick
to a thing till you are master, is a test of intellectual discipline and
power. ~ The Iron Will
