Many people equate discipline with harsh rules and punishments. When one thinks of discipline, it is always associated with schools, the army or prisons. Hence, it is a word that is greatly detested by younger people. But this is a very narrow view of discipline. In fact, discipline is a concept that distinguish the strong from the weak, but a strength is by no means a physical one. Instead, this strength is control, both over actions and emotions. This is certainly not a negative tihng, instead it is the means by which we are able to complete tasks and exist harmoniously with others.
Discipline is necessary as long as we want to achieve our objectives. How many times have you needed to complete an assignment but found it hard to get down to it because there are many other distractions around you ? Your friends could be even going to the mall for an afternoon to have fun, which makes you even more restless. However, if you are disciplined, you will be able to shut out distractions and concentrate on getting your work done. This discipline will go a long way in establishing the correct work ethics that will come in handy whether you are a student or a worker. I guarantee many people know it.
Futhermore, discipline also helps you to manage your time efficiently. It makes you prioritise your commitment properly and helps you to objectively decide where your time should be spent. This is important as there are so many things that compete for your attention that you may end up making the wrong decisions based on personal likes and dislikes, rather than their relative importance. Thus, you may choose to go out and watch a movie first instead of studying for a test. Due to the fact that you will probably be too exhausted or too high sprits when you return from the outing, the likelihood of studying well for the test is dangerously low. In this way, you may end up failing the test. Such a price is surely too high to pay for lack of discipline.
Being able to control our negative emotions also an asset that we should develop. Thus, instead of flaring up over the slightest provocation, discipline enables us to logically assess situation carefully instead of giving in to our initial negative reactions. This will help lubricate our relationships and build up our interpersonal skill. Hence, emotional discipline is an important feature in a successful person.
