...know what it takes to forgo dessert or resist the urge to buy that bauble you can't afford: self-control. That sounds simple, but self-control can be a slippery thing.

Romney’s all-business style served him well in the first few weeks of his administration. His decision to forgo his salary as governor was admirable. He was able to make appointments based on merit instead of patronage. For example, he appointed the widely respected African American former District Attorney Ralph C.
