The Power of Discipline: How to Master Self-Control and Reach Your Goals
[Notes: Meaning: Obedience to established rules of conduct. Importance: A must in all spheres in life in army, national life, academic life-absence of discipline-chaos.]
Discipline means obedience to established rules of conduct. Every society has certain rules to control the activities of its members. Any breach of these rules will land the society in trouble. Hence discipline is of great importance in human life.
The importance of discipline in family life cannot be overestimated. The peace of a family depends on the disciplined conduct of its members. When its members behave in their own way giving a fig for its rules of conduct, the family will be plunged into a bogof trouble. An army cannot do without discipline. A soldier must carry out the order of his commander; otherwise it will not win a battle. Discipline is a must in national life. There will be no order in a country if the citizens do not abide by its laws. An office will be a no man's land when its employees go each his own way.
Discipline is indispensable in academic life. Students must obey their teachers, follow the rules of their institutions and sit for the examina-tions in compliance with rules. If they do not care for the advice of their teachers, shout in classes and corridors and copy from books in examinations, the temple of learning will be turned into a den of chaos. Students are the future citizens of a country. If they become indisciplined, the country will come to be peopled with hooligans in (235 words) future.
