so when a saved person goes to heaven

That is self discipline and a dependence upon God to help reinforce it. Maybe that is the "meek" you refer to.

yes, that is close that is the meekness we all need
Truly mild-tempered people have a keen sense of dependence on God that is reflected in mild conduct toward fellow humans.—Romans 12:17-19; Titus 3:1, 2. and sometimes it is something that a person has to work on.so those who are working on mildtemperness would be doing their best to do it Gods way .to be meek is to be teachable
He will cause the meek ones to walk in [his] judicial decision,​
And he will teach the meek ones his way.psalm 25;9

Who are the mild-tempered ones that will inherit the earth? Well, who was the mildest man that ever lived? Was it not Jesus Christ, the Son of God? When on earth he could say: "Take my yoke upon you and become my disciples, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart." Mild-tempered, gentle? Yes, but by no means weak. With what boldness he chased the money changers out of the temple! How fearlessly he hurled denunciations against the religious hypocrites of his time! What calmness he displayed when a mob came to arrest him!—Matt. 11:28, 29; 21:12, 13; 23:13-32; 26:48-56. and i think we should be trying to be like Jesus. he was mild-tempered. and he was also taught by his father Jehovah. he was the greatest teacher to follow

You just counterdicted yourself. And the evidence is two posts above...
 
"Mild Tempered" people are no where noted in the Bible. I just checked. The Meek are, but there is a different criteria.

Mee, are you attempting to dive into the "weeds' in order to confound? In otherwords, are you attempting to use reason to refute scripture? Hmm. Ok. I stand by the actual scripture. I'm not going to interpret it. That is your call.

​
(Proverbs 15:1) An answer, when MILD turns away rage, but a word causing pain makes anger to come up.

(Matthew 5:5) "Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.

(Colossians 3:12) Accordingly, as God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, clothe yourselves with the tender affections of compassion, kindness, lowliness of mind, MILDNESS and long-suffering.

(1 Peter 3:15) But sanctify the Christ as Lord in YOUR hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of YOU a reason for the hope in YOU, but doing so together with a MILD TEMPER and deep respect.


(1 Timothy 6:11) However, you, O man of God, flee from these things. But pursue righteousness, godly devotion, faith, love, endurance, MILDNESS OF TEMPER

​

(Titus 3:2) to speak injuriously of no one, not to be belligerent, to be reasonable, exhibiting all MILDNESS toward all men.
Now as to Matthew 5:5, it should be noted that Jesus was not reading or quoting directly from a Hebrew scroll of the Psalms. As to the New World Translation rendering, it is true that the expression "mild-tempered ones" might have been rendered another way, such as "meek ones." Why, then, "mild-tempered ones"?​
Many persons are familiar with the King James Version rendering of Matthew 5:5, "Blessed are the meek." Many have also got the idea that what Jesus meant was ‘blessed are the teachable.’ So the expression has often been made that to be meek is to be teachable. True, he who is meek is teachable, but being teachable is only one of the qualities a meek person has. Moreover, the basic meaning of the original Greek word at Matthew 5:5 is not "teachable." According to the two-volume Greek-English Lexicon by Liddell and Scott the Greek word in Matthew 5:5 means, respecting persons, "mild, gentle, meek," and the adverbial form of it means "mildly, gently." Interestingly, The New English Bible, at Matthew 5:5, reads: "How blest are those of a gentle spirit."
Also the Greek-English Lexicon by Westcott and Hort states regarding this Greek word, praús or práos: "Mild temper, and, of animals, tame, gentle. Matthew 5:5 (Here the AV and AS render it meek, but the words never did, at any time, or in any passage of any other author signify meek.)"
The New World Translation Committee, by rendering the Greek word "mild-tempered," believes it has attained a far superior rendering than "meek." The New World Translation rendering defines the Greek word and does not leave it up to any reader to attach an arbitrary meaning to the word, such as saying that "meek" means "teachable...........Yes, those who inherit the earth will be teachable but that is only one of the things that they will be displaying.getting to the meaning of the words in the bible is the thing to do then we have a better understanding

Indeed, all mean some form of this:

meek (m
emacr.gif
k)
adj. meek·er, meek·est 1. Showing patience and humility; gentle.
2. Easily imposed on; submissive.

Equally as interesting is that there is no such word phrase in the dictionary as "mild tempered" or "mild temper"

One can have a mild and gracious temper, and not be meek, such as a Judge in court. Or one can have a mild and gracious temper and be meek, such as a child.
