In my opinion discipline can be instilled by fear but it will not last long and is of no use. When a child is small he learns discipline in school but when he graduates to college he needs to practice self discipline in order to achieve success. Self disciple is most important. It cannot be developed in a day. It needs to be cultivated by self control. You can reach the top but for staying at that level you need self discipline.

Totally agree with your opinion and have deep feelings of that. It's a pity that I realized the importance of self-discipline after the graduation of college. Now I keep trying cultivating good habits for myself, such like running 7 kilometers at least four times per week and 2 hours everyday for practicing English. Your know, responding your good point is also considered to be a good way to practice my English. Good sharing. Thank you.

Thanks I know it's very difficult to cultivate good habits . According to a study if u want to develop a good habit you need to practice that everyday for 21 days at the same time , then it will become ur habit

@mithi_refresh Yes, I agreed with the study you referred to. Like my running stuff, I kept practicing for 2 and a half months, then gradually become a habit. You know, long running is tough and boring, thanks to a app which could record the running course by GPS and the calories consumed which inspired me to insist on.Now I feel the charming of the running with so many benefits. You may have a try!

Yes. Fear eliminates 'right or wrong'; for it will make you go-along whether it's right or wrong. You can call it 'self-discipline' when you're not face-to-face with the terror, but it is "fear" at the root.

Some say that fear is the mother of foresight but some say that fear is the proof of degenerate mind. According to me fear is converted in to hatred after some time. Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability. The real discipline lies in us it is true. The real school of discipline 'ADVERSITY'. Thanks.
