Value of Discipline in Student Life Speech – 2

"Respected Teachers and Dear Students – I welcome you all to the monthly speech giving ceremony of our institute!

I feel extremely elated at the fact that our institute has successfully completed 5 years and since then my association with this place is going strong. I wish many more such years of continued success and growth and hope we continue to nurture the youth of our country with knowledge and right values. Today, as one of the senior faculty members of this institute, I am here to host this ceremony and deliver a succinct speech on discipline for all my students given the fact that it has become the need of the hour as in present times our youth is somewhat living an erratic lifestyle and are flouting rules and codes of behavior.

We should always remember that time is money and if we will destroy time then time will destroy us! So discipline is required in every walk of life no matter we are a student or not. Discipline is the very essence of our lives and if we do away with it then certainly negative impact on our future prospects would follow. Though whiling away time will give you temporary pleasure, but in the end it will result in only a painful experience. It, therefore, becomes important to discipline our lives right from the beginning and make it a basis of conducting our lives.

In fact, discipline is required not only at all stages of life, but in every sphere of life too. For instance, an army cannot imagine its existence without it and so enforces strict discipline in their department and divisions with zero toleration policy. An educational institute too cannot function without it; this is the reason why fixed hours are allocated to both the teachers and students and each one is made to follow the suite so that the rules and regulation of the institution are kept intact. Likewise, in corporate, courts, auditoriums, including even the small private firms discipline has to be maintained in order to preserve the sanctity of the place. In hospitals, the visitors are allowed only at the designated hours beyond which no visitors are entertained. Even for a small thing as paying your electricity bill or the telephone bill or buying a movie ticket for that matter, you will have to stand in a queue and get your work done.

When it comes to our personal lives, we cannot afford complete luxury and some sort of discipline has to be maintained for a stable and meaningful life. For instance, if you succumb to temptation and over eat things, your stomach will get upset. Similarly, if you watch television till late night, you will start feeling unwell the next morning. If you do not discipline yourself in your studies and distract yourself, then you’re not likely to fare well in your exams.

So in a nutshell, life is best enjoyed when discipline is observed. Nothing gives satisfaction in life when the very essence of living life is missing and our existence becomes mere animal-like. In the end, I would just request our students to not let anyone impose rules in your life; rather observe self-discipline, systematize yourself and reap the fruits of benefits out of it.

Thank You!
