Answers
Respected Principal, Chairman, Committee Members, Teachers and Dear Fellow Students – Warm Greetings to everyone!
First of all, let’s just express our gratitude towards the Almighty for gifting us yet another day to enjoy the morning sunshine and the beauty of our school.
Today, I – the representative of Class-X, Shikhwant Sharma, has come on stage to deliver a speech on discipline. It doesn’t give me pleasure to share with you all the fact that our teachers and managing committee have come to notice the growing indiscipline in our school. There was a time when our school was awarded the best school for maintaining discipline in all streams in the entire region and now sadly the management is observing that our school is gradually losing out on its characteristic trait.
Some students are frequently seen coming late to the school due to which other students are also coming under the sway. Not only this, but students have even started bunking classes; are growing inattentive towards their approaching exams and are also not performing well in their tests. This is the reason why I took the initiative to deliver a speech on discipline and make my juniors as well as fellow students realize the importance of discipline in our lives and more so because the management doesn’t want to implement strict rules for the students. They believe in making the environment congenial and adaptable for the students where they naturally feel inclined towards their learning and growth prospects.
Discipline is the very basis of human progress. Without it nothing can be made or properly maintained. Indiscipline causes all sorts of harms. The temporary pleasure it gives is not the genuine pleasure of freedom.
To be disciplined is to submit to a good rule or system, to maintain certain restraints for ultimate general good. If discipline is violated, steps must be taken against the offender.
Discipline is necessary in all spheres of life. An army cannot fight without strict discipline. An educational institution cannot run without discipline. Teachers and student must come to the school at a fixed hour every day, and observe the rules of the institution. Courts, offices, auditoriums, and even private houses have to maintain discipline. One cannot go into a hospital at hours when visitors are not allowed. One has to stand in a queue to pay bills for electricity or telephone, or for buying tickets for cinema or train journey.
In personal life, too, one has to practice discipline for a stable and worthy life. If you give in to temptations and overeat yourself, the stomach will revolt. If you watch TV throughout the night, you will get sick the next day. If you do not restrain yourself from music and story-books before the examinations, you are sure to fare ill.
In fact, life is best enjoyed only if discipline is maintained. Nothing can be properly enjoyed, not even a game of cricket or a musical concert, if indiscipline is allowed to invade it. We should all try to maintain discipline in our lives.
