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.

Albert Einstein (/ˈaɪnstaɪn/ EYEN-styne;[4] German: [ˈalbɛʁt ˈʔaɪnʃtaɪn] (listen); 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist,[5] widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics.[3][6] His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation".[7] His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.[8][9] He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect",[10] a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius".[11]
