People demonstrate great differences in their level of self-control. It can be affected because of illness and past experiences and it can be improved through the course of life.

Many religions have teachings about self control.

According to Buddist philosophy, Dhammapada 80 and 145 reads, "Irrigators lead the waters. Fletchers bend the shafts. Carpenters bend wood. The virtuous control themselves."
