Industry. Willpower. These are terms that people use without actually knowing the meaning. Kind of like the terms videogame or gameplay. We know that industry and willpower are good things, but we don't know why or how or what. Such lack of clarity results in frustration and failure. After all, how can you demonstrate willpower and industry when you aren't even sure what results you're after? If someone has a vague idea that willpower is a long-term struggle rather than a short-term boost, it will be natural for someone to say, "I don't have any willpower". Your articles clarify thinking in a very simple way, and clarity is essential to success.
