Positive Self Control
Total winners can sacrifice immediate pleasure for a gain in the future. Delayed gratification is of immense value in reaching your goals.
Having positive self control is a great quality because it shows that you are always calm and collective. Many people are not like that. They want things now and want the reward. Self control helps you in the future and not really the now part. For example, If an NBA team trades its superstar player because he couldn't win a championship. The team will decline a little but the team that he was traded to offered 2 first round unprotected picks. Obviously the team will lose more games but that means they will have a high pick because of the trade and with that pick let say they draft a superstar. Now they are in the same boat but with an extra pick. This gives the team to draft another superstar with there top pick. And let say again they hit on the pick and get a superstar. That means they have two superstars. This show self control because they could of kept that lone superstar but they traded him for a chance of two superstars. They hit on both picks and now have a better chance of winning the championship in the upcoming years.
