What is your 'Discipline' Mantra?

It's often easy to say that success comes with determination and lots of hardwork. But a determined mind and hardworking brain are not enough to keep being successful in the long run. A lot of mental and physical discipline is essential for this matter.

I urge all the CEans - both young in body and young at heart - to share how they feel discipline can help lead a successful life.

1. What form of discipline would you practice on a daily basis?

2. Does alcohol and cigarettes affect your overall performance - or do they act as catalysts to enhance your productivity?

3. Does falling in love affect your focus on developing your career & thereby void your discipline?

4. How would an engineer define 'daily discipline' ?

Share your feelings openly!

    I Think Discipline is must to have for everyone.If discipline is with us then the other things will come easily.I Don't think discipline as a separate thing.

    "The one quality which sets one man apart from another,the key which lifts one to every aspiration while others are caught up in the mire of mediocrity-is not talent,formal education,nor intellectual brightness-its self discipline."

    "With self discipline,all things are possible.without it,even the simplest goal can seem like the impossible dream"

    -Roosevelt

    So when you do it, it's called as "self-discipline", while the actual art is called "discipline".

    Just like you are "an engineer" who is studying "engineering".

    So if I ask you "Which engineering stream are you learning?" or "What kind of an engineer are you?" - doesn't both sound the same to you? Hope you got my point. ☕

    How can it come under another category?😒

    No..Its Not that.. discipline is two types-self imposed and others imposed. What actually we think is discipline is the one which was externally administered. the self discipline is internally administered.If the external administrator or its source is not available,the discipline would be breached immediately.That shouldn't be. If the discipline is developed in one's own then it would remain till the end.Thats the real one

    Now you've made your point clear! 😀

    How do you internally impose a discipline on yourself? It's hard for most people to do - but what could help in this process?

    While we were kids we were externally administered discipline by our parents and teachers, and so we hopefully have got good marks and got into various colleges. But after college, when getting a job, most people often get "carried away" by the ample freedom which they get while staying away from home/ an elder's guidance. So my question is, how do you internally invoke discipline within yourself that can lead you to success?

    When We Understand our responsibility and the need for being there,it would automatically not let us "carried away".

    Well, you're right about the fact that:-

    When We Understand our responsibility and the need for being there,it would automatically not let us "carried away".



    How does this understanding come into being for someone who's changing from a teenager to become a young adult? Does the rebellious nature of the teenage often disrupt the discipline that people expect from him as a young adult?

    Without a doubt it should happen naturally.Then only it can termed as internally administered. We should not be rebellious irrespective of the situation. 'Causeless' rebellious nature would definitely disrupt the discipline. Sometimes the rebellious attitude we show up were because of the right reason,still the person who watched us as teenager will think it is a discipline breach. If that were the situation the person would automatically will be opposing them in the following matters. both sides of the coins should understand the problem. 😀

    My definition is simple

    If I make my fellow team mate uncomfortable by any of my actions I am undisciplined Beware

    This answered all your queries My team has a great range of students all are different If I am not disciplined I will love a few people talking always and not all opening their mouth

    That is not a good sign at all

    Your form of discipline sounds too social. What about personal discipline (aka self discipline)? How would you invoke yourself to be disciplined even with all the freedom you get around you?
