Self discipline and Success

Paragraph-1

My area of knowledge is self discipline and success. I chose

this topic because Self-discipline, contrary to popular belief,
is not a severe or limited behavior or a restrictive lifestyle. In
its most basic form, self-discipline is the ability to do what
needs to be done even when you don't want to. Self-discipline
is required at all times, whether you are happy or sad. It's
just that when you're feeling good, happy, and motivated, you
don't have to work as hard to maintain your self-control.
Self-discipline is one of the most important steps in becoming
a better person.  Many people believe that self-discipline is
only important for those who want to pursue a career in
academia and become doctors or scientists, but this is not
true. 

Paragraph-2

Self-discipline is important for everyone.

Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, stay
motivated, and take action, regardless of how you're feeling,
physically or emotionally. Motivation and willpower contribute
to it, as do persistence, the ability to follow through on your
intentions, and hard work.If you are creative and want to be a
singer, dancer, actor, or painter, or if you want to go into any
field, you must be self-disciplined. Self-discipline is essential
for both those at home and those at work. Self-discipline, on
the other hand, is important for everyone and at every stage
of life; it can be learned at an early age. Because the young
mind is fresh and eager to learn, anything taught at this age
becomes a habit for people later on. Many children, on the
other hand, dislike being given instructions because they
believe they are being forced to do so. As a result, parents
and teachers must exercise extreme caution when instilling the
habit of self-discipline in children. They should be taught the
benefits and significance of self-discipline in someone's life
through examples.  Some very common expectations from
such students include waking up early, exercising regularly,
eating healthy and on time, drinking enough milk and juice,
drinking water, and so on. These practices are impossible to
achieve if no one is self-disciplined in life. 

Paragraph-3

Seeing self-discipline in terms of pure willpower fails because

beating ourselves up for not trying hard enough doesn't work.
In fact, it backfires. If you work it too hard, it becomes
fatigued and gives out. If there is one character trait whose
benefits are endorsed by traditional and progressive educators
alike, it may well be self-discipline.  Just about everyone
wants students to override their unconstructive impulses, resist
temptation, and do what needs to be done.  True, this 
disposition is commended to us with particular fervor by the
sort of folks who sneer at any mention of self-esteem and
deplore what they insist are today’s lax standards.  But even
people who don’t describe themselves as conservative agree
that imposing discipline on children (either to improve their
behavior or so they’ll apply themselves to their studies) isn’t
nearly as desirable as having children discipline
themselves. Self-discipline  might be defined as marshaling
one’s willpower to accomplish things that are generally
regarded as desirable, and self-control  as using that same
sort of willpower to prevent oneself from doing what is seen to
be undesirable or to delay gratification.

Paragraph-4

To avoid feeling intimidated, keep it simple. Break your goal

into small, doable steps. Instead of trying to change
everything at once, focus on doing one thing consistently and
master self-discipline with that goal in mind. The truth is,
self-discipline is a learned skill, not an innate characteristic .
It's clear that many people don't know how to increase their
self-discipline.In the 2011 in stress American survey, 27% of
respondents said the lack of willpower was the biggest barrier
to making healthy lifestyle changes. Many of the respondents
agreed that they could likely increase their willpower, but the
vast majority felt like the key to improved willpower was
having more time to themselves. What many of the
respondents may not have recognized is that increased leisure
time doesn’t automatically equate to increased self-discipline.

Thank you.
