Maxwell (1993) wrote "the first victory they won was over themselves..self-discipline with all of them came first." -that is referring to the lives of great men.
Self-control then, refers to people who are willing to get a grip on their lives and take control of areas that will bring them success or failure. An individual usually has faith, be it a Muslim, or Christian. Religious affiliation gives meaning to our lives. And with that belief, there are certain conditions that we need to abide to. And in every religion, they enjoin good, and prohibit wrongdoings.
However, we are proned to make mistakes, we repent, try to forget, and we move on. Then again, the past may haunt us. This is the case with Zaid. He admitted to drinking, but that was a thing in the past. He apologized - appealing to people to accept his weaknesses. However, it is now up to the Hulu Selangor folks to decide the type of leader they want. Accepting Zaid means they give him a second chance and accept him the way that he is (the good and bad side of a man). On the other hand, accepting Zaid also means, we are compromising with the character of leaders who are going to lead us.
The choice now is with the Hulu Selangor people. I guess, we will just have wait and see.
