Question

2 minute speech on self discipline

Answer 1

Discipline means learning to obey necessary rules of conduct. The very essence of discipline is obedience- obedience to rules; and pupil or follower is derived from “discipline”, a learner, or follower of a teacher.

The first lesson it has to learn is obedience. Then it has to be taught how to behave – how to avoid conduct, which is considered unbecoming and wrong, and how to form good habits. The methods of training are parents’ instruction, example and punishment.

In the same way, domestic animals, such as a dog or a horse, have to be trained before they can be of any use to men. Like the child, they must first learn to obey; the horses must learn how to carry a man and draw a carriage, and dogs how to guard the house and look after flocks of sheep.

When we come to maturity, we have to learn self discipline: how to govern and rule ourselves. This is the hardest task of all.

Answer 2

Self-control, or self-discipline, gives you inner power and a technique to manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

• It is the ability to control one's conduct that allows one to pick and stick with actions, attitudes, and behaviours that promote growth and success.
• Everyone should have this quality because it is one of the most important and helpful skills for success. Some people have self-control by nature.
• Some people can accomplish it with the necessary effort, which is worthwhile because it improves life. It just means using restraint.
• A person who maintains control has the capacity to direct their behaviours and responses.
• Regular meditation practice will help you develop self-discipline so you can break negative habits.
• It helps you acquire self-control, the capacity to withstand distractions, the ability to keep going after failure and setbacks, and the ability to keep yourself motivated until you succeed.
