Question

1. Read the passages given below. (10)
What is discipline? Is it absolute freedom to do what a person wants? Is freedom regardless of
consequences? Does it mean corrective action after a problem occurs or wrong is done? Is its
imposition? Is it abuse? Does it take away freedom?
The answer is none of the above Discipline does mean that a person takes a belt and beats up kids.
That is madness, discipline is loving firmness. It is direction. It is prevention before a problem arises. It
is harnessing and channelling energy for great performance. Discipline is not something you do to
yourself but you do for those you care about.
Discipline is an act of love. Sometimes you have to be unkind to be kind Not all Medicines are sweet,
not all surgeries are painless, but we have to take them. We need to learn from nature. We are all
familiar with that big animal, the giraffe. A mama giraffe gives birth to a baby giraffe standing. All of a
sudden the baby falls on the ground from the cushion of Mama's womb and sits on the ground. The
first thing mama does is to get behind the baby and give him a hard kick. The baby gets up but sits
down again. Mama keeps kicking till the baby gets on its feet and starts moving. Why? Because mama
knows that the only chance of survival for the baby in the jungle is on its feet. Otherwise, it will be eaten
up by wild cats and become dead meat.
Children brought up in a loving, disciplined, environment end up respecting their parents more and
become law-abiding citizens. The reverse is just as true. Good parents are not afraid of momentary
dislike by children to enforce the subject. Allowing a child to eat a box of chocolate could lead to
sickness. At the same time, the discipline of eating one or two pieces a day can be an enjoyable
experience for a longer time. Our instinct makes us do whatever we want regardless of the
consequences.
Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired but the controlling of the desire.
