   "Wise men preach discipline; great men practice it, while fools defy it."

Discipline means some particular kind of training in self-control, orderliness, obedience and co-operation. Obedience is the very essence to discipline.

Discipline is of great importance in our life. Without it, we cannot prosper. There cannot be any peace or happiness in the family if there is no discipline. At school no work can be done without discipline. Whether in a family or in a school, without discipline there is no proper functioning .

Discipline is needed in every sphere. In the playground also discipline is very necessary. If a bowled out batsman refuses to leave his place or a referee's whistle is disregarded in a football match, it is all over with the game.

In society also, there is a greater need for discipline. If the individual members are permitted to do whatever they like, society will break up and the progress will come to a stop. Lack of discipline among the youth of a country may endanger national security. For example, we can see the strict rules of discipline in the military service. Discipline is important in the army. If they are disciplined, they can win the battle.

To conclude, discipline is necessary in every walk of life. Life without discipline is like a ship without radar. It is a brake to control the thoughtless actions of man so it is a precious asset of human beings.
