1. 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
a wrong is done? Is it imposition? Is it abuse? Does it take away freedom?
2. The answer is none of the above. Discipline does not 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 channeling energy for great
performance. Discipline is not something you do to but you do for those you care about.
3. Discipline is an act of love. Sometimes you have to be unkind to be kind: Not all
medicine is sweet, not all surgery is painless, but we have to take it. 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 a hard surface 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 his legs are weak
and Wobbly and the baby falls down. Mama goes behind again and gives him one
more 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 to get on its feet. Otherwise it will be eaten up by
wildcats and become dead meat.
4. 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 dislikes 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 controlling the desire.
. Select the option that makes the correct use of “enforce”, as used in the passage,
to fill in the blank spaces.
(a) The Sun was trying to --------- its way through the curtains.
(b) All attempt to ------- the British commercial regulation were in effectual.
(c) You were trying to --------- me off the bed.
(d) He was not ------- of anything.
