Points: What it means — Examples from individuals and corporate lives — Its value.
Discipline is the spirit of maintaining order. Discipline in human activities issues out of the discipline or control of the mind. In corporate life, the need for discipline is of primary importance. Standing in a queue, observing punctuality, maintaining order, helping women and children before helping oneself — all these are acts of discipline.
In corporate life, where a large number of people live together, discipline is very much needed. Without it civilized life is impossible. If each and every car does not keep to the left, there will be road accidents all the time. Unless we respect a social code, we shall have the law of the jungle. The riots and street fights are the results of indiscipline on a large scale. An army is a fine example of the force of discipline. When a solider is shot down, another takes his place. If necessary an army will go on fighting to the last man. If, however, a rabble is fired upon, all the men will run away. It is the spirit of discipline which makes all the difference between an army and a rabble.
True discipline, however, comes from a sense of dedication, not fear or compulsion. It adds grace and strength to our life.
