Grade 8

Discipline is indispensable for living a successful life. Success and realization

of dreams go hand in hand with discipline. There is no achievement that was
accomplished without discipline. All great men of all times who great
phenomenal success have been men and women of discipline. Albert
Einstein, Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Bill Gates, Walt
Disney, Helen Keller, Mahatma Gandhi, and the like all became disciplined
first, successful later.
Good day everyone.Today I am here to talk about the value of discipline.
What is discipline?
Being disciplined means knowing optimal time-management, self-control,
knack of making best choices, being focused, zero procrastination, always
making more attempts in the field you want to advance, upright moral
character, and observing morals and ethics. Disciplined people do not have to
be told to do the good things;they do it themselves.
Besides Hard Work, determination, self-belief, and persistence, one quality
that is co-essential in a successful individual is – Discipline. Yes. Discipline is
 2

one of the most important prerequisites for success. But unfortunately,

everyone is aware of this fact, but few truly understand its real meaning.

Why is the advantage of being Disciplined? Well, it brings structure & stability.
It all begins at a young stage, right from student life and you will not only find it
in schools but also in society as a whole. Now, why is it so important?
Because if there is no discipline people would do whatever they want and
make mistakes without putting the consideration of others first and foremost.

But, does this mean that we would need to bind ourselves in some kind of
shackle? Absolutely not. Discipline is, in fact, freedom, freedom from laziness
and lethargy, freedom from the expectations and demands of others, freedom
from weakness and fear and doubt. Let's take a look at a simple example. If,
supposedly, your goal is an excellent annual result in school, what would you
do? You would study!! But not everything at the same time and instead, one
subject at a time. That is discipline. It would require you to cover chapters of
different subjects, timely revisions, sharing your problems with teachers and if
you closely look at this whole process, you will find that the bridge between
your goal and accomplishment is - Discipline

Discipline is a must for students and youngsters particularly. Discipline is the

first and foremost thing for a student. No student can achieve academic
brilliance without discipline. Only a disciplined student will be able to cope up
with the challenges of education. Only a disciplined student can manage his
time optimally. He utilizes his free time in studies only that make him brilliant in
his subjects as well as other areas. As water and sunlight are essential for the
healthy growth and development of plants, similarly discipline is the key
ingredient in a student’s life.
Discipline in a person's life is the most important thing to maintain in order to
live a happy and organized life. It is discipline that helps a person to achieve
the aim of his life easily and without any hassle.

A disciplined man is the need of the society because discipline can not only
change the life of an individual but of the whole society. Discipline maintained
in a society by its individuals will eventually lead to a peaceful and well
maintained lawful society.Discipline and time-management are indispensable
for all aspiring human beings.
I would like to conclude by saying “It is only because of Discipline that we are
able to run a society, organizations and in fact, the whole World.”
