DISCIPLINE II

Image
A gross misconception commonly made is the costly assumption of equating discipline with "suffering". Someone once said that "prosperity is a greater test of character than adversity" and this is so true because there is always this facade sense of humility in times of adversity, the true stance of a man is known through his sense of judgment in times of plenty. The innate relationship between the monkey and banana is only known when it sees a banana and not when you toss an orange. Discipline derives its true meaning not from assumption but fervent resolution against all odds. Thus we can safely conclude that self-discipline is arrived at when there is no difference between the "you in plenty" and the "you in nothing". Embedded in between this gap is a strong moral resolve coupled with divine providence.
