Ok, I am just wondering- is it possible to be very discplined in one thing and not another? Or does all discpline kind of go together, so that if a person develops more discpline (and less laziness) in Kendo, then it will shift to all aspects of his or her life?

It's not a question of discipline, but one of perception and priorities.

If you don't percieve some things as very important, you're not going to devote a lot of energy accomplishing them.

Me? I couldn't care less if my appartment is filled with stinking socks - don't even see them, but I can sit down (in the same 'dirty' appartment) at 1am and write a 50 page presentation for the next day or drag myself to training after 10-12 hours of work despite having enough 'reasons' to stay home for 3 weeks worth of absence.
