Discipline Gives Freedom



A boy was flying a kite with his father and asked him what kept the kite up. Dad replied, "The string." The boy said, "Dad, it is the string that is holding the kite down." The father asked his son to watch as he broke the string.

Guess what happened to the kite? It came down. Isn't that true in life? Sometimes the
Very things that we think are holding us down are the things that are helping us fly. That is what discipline is all about.

So Winning in life comes when we do not succumb to what we want to do, but do what ought to be done. That requires discipline.

Harry S. Truman said "In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves Self-discipline with all of them came first."
