delay that gratification

I realised the difference , skill , talent will help , personality will help but only to a extent ....What matters most is how much can u work , how long can u persevere , how long can u keep going , how often will u delay instant gratification , these are the most important factors that will determine success ....As a student I had realised this and tried to stick to this , the more u delay gratification the more successful u will be . Kill the boy within you and let the man be born.....
