Question by Vogue: How does discipline relate to your thoughts, actions, and speech?
I have to write an essay of 3 reasons why failing eighth graders shouldn’t be promoted to highschool. The first reason I said they lack essential skills such as reading, writing, and math. The 2nd reason I put they are lacking maturity in terms of behavior, performance, and judgment(choice-making). The teacher assigned me the 3rd reason of students lacking discipline, but I don’t know how it relates to thoughts, actions, and speech.

When we have self discipline, we focus on our goals and do things that help us meet them, such as revision before exams. Things we don’t want to do for their own sake, only because they help meet our goal. Also, self discipline (discipline of the mind, the senses, and the desires) helps us to choose goals that are wiser (in our long term interests of health and happiness). Students who are bunking off school in 8th grade to have fun, or bunking off homework to watch tv or play on the Net are following their whims, not their discerrnment. Self discipline also shows up in things like sleeping well and eating regular and nutritious meals vs junk food and no breakfast.
