DISCIPLINE.

The word discipline have in many ways affected many lifes in this world which i can say positively but before i go to the full explanation and my view on discipline, i would like to define or let you know what really is the meaning of the world DISCIPLINE.

Discipline according to my view on it is training people to obey or follow rules or code of conduct and using punishment to correct the disobedience when they fail to abide by the rules.

Another set of Discipline is what you studied in either the higher institution or should i say in the univeristy.

I am going to be talking about the two as you read on.

Now back to the number one definition i wrote about discipline. Discipline is the act of training people, people in the sense that it may be children, it may be adult, it may be a single person or it may also be a collective group of people. Training people to obey the law or code of conduct set down that is required to be followed.

For example, i can use my self as a very much example, in my secondary school in which i attended, we were trained or rather let me use the word discipline to always greet your teachers wherever you might actually see them. It may be in the school or outside the school premises but you are mandatory to always greet them and always respect them. Failure to abide to the rule, the student will actually be punished either by been flogged or either by been given some actions to perform which serve as punishment.

Another example of discipline in which i can also use myself as an example is that i was trained to always early in the morning greet my mom and dad. I was discipline to do so by my parents and whenever i failed to do so or maybe i forgot, i will be punished for that. This is also one of the act of discipline my parent demostrated towards me.

Another example of discipline i would like to talk about which i guess this one is personal is the ability for each and everyone of us to say No or Yes when necessary. This is an act of discipline that many of us lack today. It is very difficult to Say No when necessary or to say Yes. Difficult for us to manage our time is as a result of the lack of personal discipline i am talking about.
When we are disciplined or rather when we learm to discipline ourselv, it will actually not be difficult to take the right step at the right time, to say No to some decisions thatay be influnenced by peer pressure, to manage our time, to know that there is time for everything.

The lack of discipline have affected some people lives negatively, affected their families, affected their careers and many more.
So also the presence of discipline have also changed the lives of many positively, it has changed their families, their view on decisions taking, changed their state of careers amd many more.

Now back to the second definition i mentioned about discipline. Discipline can also be reffered to what you actually studied in the higher institution, or university. If you are a graduate of chemical engineering and you are asked about your diacipline field in the educational sector, you can replied by saying you are a discipline in chemical engineering.

Let us check our lives today and look at each aspect of our lives that is actually lacking discipline and try to correct it or adjust in our decision making.

Thanks for dedicating your time readinv my article on DISCIPLINE and i hope you are really blessed.

I invite @silher @inspiredgideon1 and @zephalexia . i will be expecting your entry. You are all awesome
