Self Discipline
Self discipline is an attribute which has to be ingrained in the minds of the youth from the formative years. Human beings have acquired predominant animal instincts from the process of evolution. There are many values that one inherits from the family which is the basic unit of society. The family and its values of sharing, love, concern for each other, and so on, must be preserved at all costs. The children of the next generation learn from the family values instilled in them in their adolescent years.
Self discipline is essential for progress in all spheres of human activity and is a measure of our cultural heritage. Indians in general lack self discipline which leads to corruption, inefficient services, poor infra structure, lawlessness, cheating, poor civic sense, and in general flouting of every conceivable rule or law of the land enacted for the society at large. The law makers are themselves the law breakers!
It should be the endeavour of each and everyone to be self disciplined and instill the same in our children and youth within one's sphere of influence.

Yes - I do agree that self discipiline is very important to lead a good life. The precursor for Self discipline is Self control. Self control within oneself as well as in the interaction with others would show how far are we able to show wisdom in our lives.
Bibilically also, St.Paul highlights about self control in Acts of the apostles Chapter 24: 25 - goodness, self-control and coming day of the Judgement are key issues a Christian should be concerned about - people like Felix would not like to be talked about these things as we find in Acts of the Apostles.
It is therfore good to bring these issues more and more for our personal medidation and reflection.
