DISCIPLINE - A VITAL ASPECT OF LIFE

Discipline is an important facet of our life. Its importance is further signified by it being the first wife of every military personnel. A soldier without discipline is just as a Hindi movie without a heroine. We all are disciplined in some way or the other. We have a daily schedule for various types of activities as jogging, going to college, lunch, dinner and other daily activities.

Discipline also plays an important role in time management. A person who is not disciplined can also not be orderly with respect to time. In this fast paced world, we all have to meet various deadlines: deadline for assignments, projects or seminars. Being disciplined helps us meet these deadlines with glee, whereas unorderly schedule keeps us at our toes.

Discipline is such an important feature in our life that it affects each and every indivisual. The importance of discipline got further engraved in my mind when I woke up this Wednesday at my home. I heard the yelling of many beggars on the road for alms. Here I would like to mention that this particular “BATCH” of beggars visits our locality only on Wednesday mornings and they have other days reserved for other regions of Jamshedpur!!!! . Further interesting feature of the story is that I have been witnessing this schedule of theirs for the last 10-15 years.

It is said that the world changes every decade, but these beggars teach us the essence of discipline in our lives. The begging faces though have changed, but not their schedule and they have passed on their legacy with utmost strict code of conduct.

I would like to emphasize that I do not encourage begging as a means to survive life, but wish to emphasize that even the most downtrodden community of our society loves to work on time and also that we can learn from any person-irrespective of their social status, irrespective of their age, and also irrespective of their academic qualifications.

Love
