So I don't have enough discipline for change. I just want a quick show of hands. Be honest.

Put up your hand if you believe
舉起手來，如果你相信
that if you had more self-discipline, now you may have a lot of self-discipline or very little self-discipline,

but if you had more self-discipline, you could potentially be happier and/or more successful.
但假使你能更自律，你就可以更幸福或更成功
If you had more self-discipline? Be honest. I mean my hand is very much up. OK, so it's most people think that.

That's it. Sorry. Tough luck. Most people, most people, overwhelmingly majority of people
就是這樣，抱歉，真倒霉。大多數人，絕大多數的人
think they need or want more self-discipline and believe that they don't have enough.

Nature. That's it. So that's the bad news. The good news: it's actually not that important, neither for success, nor for happiness.
事實就是這樣，這就是壞消息；好消息是，更多的自律事實上并不重要，不管是對于成功或是幸福感
You can be more successful and happier with the self-discipline that you currently have.
就用你現在已有的自律性，你也可以變得更成功，更幸福
