小结感想：

Willpower is about harnessing the three powers of I will,I won't,and I want.It is the ability to control the impulse which can help you to achieve your goals. And in our mind there are two minds-self control and impulsive self. There are so many tamptations around us,we should know what is we really want and say yes when we need to say yes,say no when we need to say no.
