The discipline to work long and hard.
The discipline to recognize needs from wants.
The discipline to endure the minimum to save for a better future.
The discipline to abstain until you could afford children.
The discipline to be careful with expenses.
The discipline to not act out of impulse.
The discipline to not do drugs.
The discipline to take studying seriously.
If people were more disciplined, many of the problems facing the households of America would not be here today. This includes problems with education, real estate, personal debt, health, driving, etc.
...The country would be better off, if parents taught their children discipline.
