Importance of Discipline
Discipline provides people with rules to live their lives efficiently and effectively. When you have discipline in your life you can make small sacrifices in the present for a better life in the future. Discipline creates habits, habits make routines, and routines become who you are daily. The value of discipline is the way to do what needs to be done. Not only does practice allow one to establish a positive action. It helps us train our minds and body and enables us to focus on our goals and to regulate our emotions. It helps preserve society’s peace and order.
As students, discipline is very important in their lives. Students often find mathematics to be difficult and fear the subject. Discipline helps them to build a positive attitude towards everything. This helps them to improve their performance slowly and steadily. Finally, discipline helps students to build a healthy mind which is very important to developing a healthy body.
In the life of an individual, practice gives harmony and order. It teaches an individual to take accountability and to display respect. Keeping well-defined laws is the cornerstone of civilization. If the structure were not developed, people would do whatever they wished and make errors without first and foremost thought. It facilitates positive human actions in order to enhance humanity and make it a more straightforward place for us to work. The capacity for a person to be self-restricted enables them to function faithfully, rigorously, and regulated. An absence of this capacity may lead to catastrophe.
Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.”
– George Washington
Sample Example No.2.
Say no to tobacco.
Humans are supposed to be the most evolved creatures on this planet. True ? No, absolutely false! If, after knowing the various harmful effects of tobacco, man still uses it, it does not speak well of his mental capabilities. Which other animal chews tobacco? Which other animal uses’ gutka’ or paan masala’, or smokes cigarettes, cigars, and ‘beedis’?
“It’s my life”, some may say. Yes, it is. But it affects the people around too. Tobacco use is one of the biggest public health hazards of recent times. Tobacco is one of the primary causes of cancer and heart attacks. People in the 1950s and 60s did not know about this, and hence they smoked. But not that we know it and know that it can lead to a horrible and painful death, can’t we, the species with the most highly developed brains, stop its use? Stop growing it altogether?
Can’t the government ban its farming?
The frightening bit is that many youngsters are getting addicted to tobacco. Once addicted, withdrawal is very difficult. So why not we all join hands and say no to tobacco? ‘No’ to using it, and ‘No’ to growing it too.
