Discipline....

S. L. Ave’s boss shouts at him. Ave knows that it isn’t his fault. But Ave’s mood is spoilt for the day. He returns home irritated. His family isn’t pleased to see his long face yet another day. Ave’s boss does it again the next day. Ave curses his boss the whole day. He’s fuming when he returns home and takes out his frustration on his family.

M.A. Ster reaches his office in a good mood. His boss shouts at him for no reason. Ster stops himself from swearing at his boss. I know he’s making a mistake. Let his blood pressure go up. Why should I harm myself? Ster tells himself, throws the incident out of his head and carries on with his work. On the second day, the incident repeats itself. Ster does it again. He doesn’t let himself get entrapped in the maze of thoughts about the incident. He comes home happy. Both he and his family have a great time.

S.L. Ave is an example of a person who is the slave of his mind. His mind controls him. M.A. Ster is an example of a person who’s in full control of his mind. He’s the master of his mind. That’s the difference between a person who’s self-disciplined and one who’s not. Be the master of your mind and not its slave.
