This document discusses how to be a successful person by learning to control oneself. It explains that controlling oneself means being able to speak and be quiet, to act and think logically, and to control one's emotions in any situation. If a person cannot control themselves, then others will control them instead. Some tips provided for gaining self-control include writing down reflections on one's day before sleeping, thinking carefully before speaking, taking a pause before answering questions one does not want to answer, and waiting to speak when angry to avoid saying things one will later regret. Mastering self-control through these strategies allows one to feel free and in control of their own life and choices.

1. In the name of God
We are humankind. Together or alone, we are living in different societies. We pass the
time, not only with our family, but at schools, universities, at work and everywhere.
If you want to live a life as a successful person, youneed to control yourself. What does it
mean indeed and how to be successful in this way?
Control own-self means be able to speak, to be quiet, to act, to think enough and logical
and to control own-self at the moment.
If you are not able to control yourself, it means the others control you. When you control
yourself, you know what is he/she doing and what is he/she saying. You are living freely and
can make it. How to be like that?
1. At night, before going to sleep, write down your day and explain what have you done
and what have you got. Could it be done by you in another way? What have you
reached and what have you learned? If someday, you face such the same problem,
what will you do and what you will not do?
2. When you want to talk to someone, pay attention to your words. Think, and then
talk. Logically (and carefully) choose your words because they return to you
someday.
3. When you are asked s.th and you don’t want to answer, don't talk for a few seconds,
and then you may say: why do you want to know about this? Or: I prefer not to talk
about that. Or: I'm busy now, let's talk later. No one can control you, but whom,
which YOU let him/her by your own words.
4. When you are angry, do not talk for some seconds. Don’t worry! That person, which
is annoying you by his/her words, is not better than you and only is showing
himself/herself to you to choose the way of behaving with him/her. When you are
angry, do not talk anyway, because you may show people how to behave with you.
Respect yourself by choosing right words and control yourself in every situation, however,
at the beginning that will not be so easy but the reasons will surprise you indeed, you may
feel yourself free and like whom, which choose the way of living by own-self.
