Discipline is vital to every living being. For man, it is even more important like the spinal column. Without discipline, mankind will be ruined.
Discipline means the observance of certain well-designed rules. Without such regulation, it is not possible to maintain humanness. Such regulation contributes to the glory of human existence.
Discipline cannot be acquired from books. Nor can it be learned from teachers. It has to be a natural component of one's daily life in the discharge of one's duties. Discipline is essential from the moment of waking to the time of going to sleep.
Discipline is essential for every group, for every society and for every political institution. Without discipline, there can be no society or Government. No nation can exist without discipline. It is discipline that unites man to man, and one society to another. Hence, discipline is one of the basic insignia of social life.
