良知是覺察我們自己的獨特性以及個人、道德和倫理準則的能力。

Management is the breaking down, the analysis, the sequencing, the specific application, the time-bound left brain aspect of effective self-government.
Independent will is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon.
獨立意志是做出決定和選擇,並依照這些決定和選擇行事的能力。這是一種行動的能力,而非被其他人牽著走。
triumph: to obtain victory
pull/drag yourself up by your (own) bootstraps: to improve your situation yourself, without help from other people
Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what "first things" are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline, carrying it out.
disciple: a person who believes in and follows the teachings of a religious or political leader
superordinate: used to describe a word, category or level with a more general meaning, greater range or higher level than something else
If you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a disciple, a follower, of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the integrity, to subordinate your feelings, your impulses, your moods to those values.
