Everyone needs self-discipline in economic activities. The conventional wisdom takes self-discipline as moral restraint for an individual, however, this understanding is somewhat narrow. Being self-disciplined has some up-and-coming effects. That is to say, one is supposed to be proactive and dedicated to work, making achievements regardless of the type of work or position. Spiritual vitality is essential. Moral motivation can be considered as the other side of self-discipline, which is complementary to and mutually reinforcing with moral restraints.
