What would it take for our lofty dreams to become reality?
How do we achieve the happy and successful lives we so strongly desire?
Along which path must we walk to succeed with integrity?
The way of discipline is the sure one that we require
It provides a clear path to realistic goals without ambiguity
Aided by methods, plans, and systems that are not unaffordable to acquire.
Without discipline, worthwhile skills can not be cultivated
No profession can be practised when valued skills are absent
With discipline, we can attain mastery and expertise, leaving us strongly motivated
The world becomes our oyster as we showcase our abilities and talents.
May we embrace discipline with joy till our innate abilities are activated
For it is the best way to ensure that our success is long-lived, not transient.
No one goes through life without experiencing some pain
Each one must choose either the pain of discipline or that of regret
The choice of discipline is a wise one, resulting in much gain
Desires and emotions come under control and one achieves a stout mindset
Without discipline one can not live responsibly, and may labour in vain
Discipline is indispensable in achieving the goals of life, which before one are set.
Reduce tasks into smaller, manageable efforts with pauses in between
Envision eventual outcomes until in your mind they are seen
Prepare well in advance for times at your duty post
Discipline can be as simple as sticking to a good routine.
