Motivation
Motivation is usually the key to achieving. Those who haven't experienced self-discipline often also exhibit a lack of motivation. However, this must not be construed as them not wanting to have motivation. On the contrary, students thrive on tasks that perk their enthusiasm and make them feel that they are actually accomplishing something. Once they accomplish, motivation starts to build-up and with it self-discipline.
Luz,
Motivation is powerful as you mention. It carries student through challenging times because they can see the light at the end of the tunnel. They continue on even when times are tough both inside and outside of the classroom.
