A ruly child will do everything arranged. He won't be late for going to school, finish exercsise as requirement, go to bed punctually, not hang out with shady characters, do what should be to do, and not do anything regarded as no good. An unruly child just do something he like or want to do. He often disobey parents and teachers, be far from conscientious in class, not be used to finish the homework, stay out late, and play tricks on others. Who do you think will be more successful when they grow up?

I believe ruly child is more possible to be successful. To arrange many issues well is a kind of capability, that's very important. If a child can do this, he/she must be more competitive than others.

Actually, I don't think either would be too successful. The ruly child may be a bit more successful, due to the fact they will not get in trouble and will not blow any opportunities. However, what happens if they stick to the rules in a too rigid manner? There might not be any room for creativity that would move them up in the world and thus they would stagnate at a certain point. Therefore, a happy medium would be the best child, although a child who follows the rules will get a bit further in life.
