"It is will power that has to act when we want to achieve something that requires going against our instinctive appetites or impulses, or on those occasions when we set out to do something that is dispensable and does not relate to any imperious vital need, for example, the case of an individual who can survive perfectly well with his current salary but aspires to earn double, or of a mediocre citizen who tries to become an important person, but who would have no serious problem in remaining as he is at present. "
