NOTE

DISCIPLINE
Discipline is the training of the mind to obey simple rules and regulations. The practice of making people obey rules and orders is called Discipline.

Discipline is defined as a field of study or is training to fix incorrect behavior or create better skills. Discipline is a method of training the mind, body, or behavior, and it makes people do what is expected of them. We are disciplined when we have self control. A disciplined individual does things according to laid down rules and regulations.

 It is the attitude of doing the right thing at the right time and at times without being forced or persuaded to do so.

 

ATTRIBUTES OF DISCIPLINE

1.) Self control – Every student should have a good spirit that will help them have self control. Self control is the ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses. A disciplined student controls himself to obey all the rules and regulations of the school. This enables him or her to excel in academic endeavours. Be respected in the school and society. Discipline makes a good leader.

2.) Moderation – The control of your behaviour so that you keep your actions, feelings, habits within reasonable or sensible limit. It is the process of eliminating or lessening extremes. It is used to ensure normality throughout the medium on which it is being conducted. A moderate person doesn’t overdo things. Many people are excessive in their ways of doing things and are not disciplined. Discipline helps you to be moderate in the way you do things and also in your behavioural pattern towards people around you. People who are disciplined are not greedy, in any way because moderation is the principle that they can adopt in anything they do

3.) Modesty – This is the way that people comport themselves not to show their bodies or do anything that can attract sexual harvest. It is an attitude of propriety and decency in dress, language, and behavior. If we are modest, we do not draw undue attention to ourselves. In the name of fashion or things in vogue, people have become so immodest in our society today that discipline has been thrown into the sea.
