The questions written above are the general questions that come to our mind. But actually we should give it a thought.

Let's  try to unfold the answers to these questions

Can we define discipline ? 

Yes , why not !

What actually the discipline means ?

Discipline is some set of rules and regulations designed by organizations and institutes  to be followed for smooth functioning of the system . Once a person steps into an organization he needs to follow certain rules and regulations of that particular organization. The institution or the organization could be anything. It could be a persons family where some rules are deployed to be followed , it could be a school where students , teachers , staff and parents are expected to follow and maintain discipline. The same is there with other institutions and organizations.

Is it ok not to be disciplined ?

Can we think to walk on roads without caring about the sides we choose ? Could it be possible  to collect tickets from the counter in a huge crowd without sticking to a line or a queue ? The answer to both the questions are No . Because we cannot imagine life without rules. There will be lot of chaos around us and in society .Every person will start doing anything without following rules which ultimately will lead to an unorganised  and asystematic society and nation. That is why it is not at all ok to be indisciplined . A person cannot expect smooth running of the organization if rules are not followed properly and are broken frequently . A person needs to understand that indiscipline hampers not only the progress of himself but also of the organization .

Is discipline so powerful to change ones life ?

Discipline is the most powerful ladder to reach ones target . Without being disciplined one cannot be organised . An unorganised person will not be able to correlate his steps smartly to achieve his target . One who is indisciplined will not be focussed  . His most of the time will be wasted in unwanted works . 

Whereas once a person comes into the habit of discipline , his scattered parts of deeds come to fall in place . A person becomes more organised and focused . He becomes more confident and self determined . Being disciplined a person understands the value of following rules and time management . A person starts respecting and admiring his own little achievements .  He becomes aware of  the importance of time factor and makes a habit of creating a timetable and to follow it rigorously  . Following timetable helps a disciplined person to get time for himself other than his necessities . And this extra time which he spares out of his 24 hours for himself is being utilised by that person for his personal growth which could be related to his mental or physical health . Not only this he can also utilise his leisure time for his hobby . All these things on regular basis bring drastic change in the life of a disciplined person . So, definitely , discipline is a powerbooster to change a person's  life .

Is it difficult to be disciplined ?

Who says it's difficult to be disciplined .

Being disciplined is like an exercise to mind body and soul . It requires only a dedicated mindset which ofcourse is there with everyone . The dermination to get control of ones life in his own hands is something which pushes a person to to be disciplined . The only cost to be disciplined is to leave the laziness and self cheating .
