- In the 60s a sociologist called Walter Mischel was interested in how young children resist instant gratification; he offered them the choice of a marshmallow now, or two if they could wait 15 minutes. Years later, he tracked some of the kids down, and made a startling discovery. Mischel's findings have recently been confirmed by a remarkable long-term study in New Zealand, concluded in 2010. For 32 years, starting at birth, a team of international researchers tracked 1,000 people, rating their observed and reported self-control and willpower in a different ways. What they found was that, even taking into account differences of intelligence, race and social class, those with high self-control – those who, in Mischel's experiment, held out for two marshmallows later – grew into healthier, happier and wealthier adults. Those with low willpower, the study discovered, fared less well academically. They were more likely to be in low-paying jobs with few savings, to be overweight, to have drug or alcohol problems, and to have difficulty maintaining stable relationships (many were single parents). They were also nearly four times more likely to have a criminal conviction. "Willpower," concludes Baumeister, "is one of the most important predictors of success in life."
- Surah Fussilat, verses 30-32 Surah Al-Ankabout, verses 1-3
- Umar asked Ka'b the meaning of 'taqwa,' as Ka'b was renowned for his deep understanding of the Qur'an Al Kareem. Kaab (R) then inquired from Umar (R), whether he had walked through a thorny bush path with his cloak. Umar (R) replied that he had done so on numerous occasions. Kaab (R) asked Umar (R) to describe his movements through this thorny path. Umar (R) replied that he moved very cautiously, so as not to tear his clothing. Kaab (R) said that was the description and the meaning of Taqwa. The path that inculcates and embraces a character of Taqwa is one that must be carefully and cautiously treaded. On this path one must be completely aware of oneself and one’s surroundings, to be disciplined with the correct action and behavior which will achieve one’s closeness to Allah.

- Commitment & Patience - The word 'Sabr' patience or its derivatives has been mentioned in the Quran over 100 times. Three types of Sabr: In obedience to Allah, staying away from disobedience, and in hardships that you don’t control Consistency: The best (act of worship) in the sight of God is that which is done regularly." – Bukhari Willingness to change for the better (bad habits) – “First we make our habits, then our habits make us” – Charles Noble The Prophet told his close companion: “By Allah! Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it with something better than it!” Surround yourself with friends who are sincere and helpful: “A person is likely to follow the faith of his friend, so look (carefully) whom you choose to befriend.” [Ahmad] Positive attitude / Optimism – focus on past and potential successes. “After every darkness comes dawn” – Khabbab bin al-Arat
