yeah probablly buddhist monks lol jk.not many americans can control them selves as you are saying,forget that most humans in the world have no control over themselves in the way you explain it.

Self realisation or knowledge of yourself would help.To be able to know what makes you tick & why -will help you learn about the egos of the personality.
You will learn plenty about yourself by being aware of your egos & how they make you react in situations.
The art of self control is about controlling the egos, so that you react in a way that helps you to learn from life lessons-
rather than being on `automatic pilot`or reacting with the egos in control of you.
You will find that you are able to adapt/evolve to react to situations, so that you grow( & gain knowledge & understanding...) from the experience...by being in conscious awareness & not by being driven by the ego(subconscious).

It takes practice, that's all I have to say. Many americans don't bother with self-control. A lot of it deals with being aware of your wants, your needs, who you are as a person. At least for me it does. Due to certain circumstances, I've learned to control my facial expressions pretty well as well as emotions, which means that I can easily control how I react in situations generallly. It doesn't take to be a monk to do it, but it does take a while to learn it. It is no easy path in any way to take in.

Self-control can also be like a man who used to be drunk a lot trying not to drink. It takes a while before you are not addicted, before you stop doing it.

most people go fufill their wants than needs so it will be hard.

Aye, so it is hard, but is not most things people want to acquire hard? Even with psionics. It is that way. To be a master of "art" and such, while mastering never truly finishes, it takes time. A struggle. Most people who are good at art do that. It took me many years before I got any good at web design and photoshop.

some people might quit you had a motivation for you to take the time out of your life to become good at web design..some people just decide they want to do something give it 3/4 of their potential then quit and move on to something else.

I am intrested, what motivated you to learn web design?

What got me into it ? There are times that I am frustrated, want to scream, and cry. But it's worth it. I really enjoy web design, sometimes I'm not so passionate about it, but I've stuck through with it for probably 5 years or so and keep trying to be better. Before I wanted to be a graphic designer, I wanted to be a web designer. But now that I've found out as a graphic designer you still do web design, that I am very pleased and continue to do so. I also get personal satisfaction from it. It's hard to explain ^____^
