Sinopse

The Theory of Moral Sentiments is a 1759 book by Adam Smith. It provided the ethical, philosophical, economic, and methodological underpinnings to Smith's later works, including The Wealth of Nations (1776), Essays on Philosophical Subjects (1795), and Lectures on Justice, Police, Revenue, and Arms (1763) (first published in 1896).

Adam Smith (June 1723 – 17 July 1790) was a Scottish economist and philosopher who was a pioneer in the thinking of political economy and key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment. Seen by some as "The Father of Economics" or "The Father of Capitalism", he wrote two classic works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776).
The latter, often abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work that treats economics as a comprehensive system and as an academic discipline.

Confronted by a crisis in black American leadership, state-sanctioned violence against black communities, and colorblind laws that trap black Americans in a racial caste system, Black Lives Matter activists and the artists inspired by them have devised new forms of political and cultural resistance. More Than Our Pain explores how affect and emotion can drive collective political and cultural action in the face of a new nadir in race relations in the United States. This foregrounding of affect and emotion marks a clear break from civil rights–era activists, who were often trained to counter false narratives about protesters as thugs and criminals by presenting themselves as impeccably groomed and disciplined young black Americans. In contrast, the Black Lives Matter movement in the early twenty-first-century makes no qualms about rejecting the politics of respectability. Affect and emotion has moved from the margin to the center of this new human rights movement, and by examining righteous rage, black joy, as well as grief and fatigue, among other emotions, the contributors celebrate the vitality of black life while documenting those who have harmed it.

The self is who we are. It is the things that we do with our daily routines. We are different from others, and yet, we are the same, connected to everyone. We think, and therefore, we are. It is life and death—the time spent existing. It is what we dream and hope and why our hearts beat. It is creativity and success. We are defined by what is “us.”  
When we talk about discipline, we are looking at control. It is the way of moving from one thing to another. It is the ability to see weaknesses and push beyond them. It is about knowing what is proper for accomplishment and how to avoid the temptation to abandon and wander into something else. It is the ability to focus.Self-discipline is both self-control and self-mastery—the centering of ourselves and seeing what we really want. There is a skill to finding what you want and knowing how to go get it.  
We are all dreamers. Every human has a creative side, and more often than not, this side of ourselves tends to be a bit underappreciated. The reasoning is that in order to show success in the creative, to make our dreams become a reality—it requires determination, drive, and discipline.
