Dicipline - the understanding

I am delighted to have found a very good idea. Well, actually i found better understanding of the idea. Happy, because I get the idea of what to do and why i need to do it. So I will share with you.

All this while the idea about dicipline got me confused and maybe i got the wrong understanding of the subject. Well now , I think that dicipline are about people conforming to certain ruling or getting people in line.That is about the simplest defination that I can come up with. It is suppose to be simple anyway.

Dicipline is actualy creating a boundry where people should act and perform. Obviously, when there are no dicipline and rules there shall be chaos.

The ideas that i am getting at is that whenever we have rules and ruling, we shall observe that some of the people that lives within the boundy are offline or astray. When this happened, normally we will tend introduce more ruling or we tighthen the existing ruling.

Introduction of new rules and tighting up the existing one is normally to cater for undicipline people. Hopeful that these undicipline people will get back inline. But actually most of time you end up introducing more and more rules. It bad because too many rules would normally be too hard to uphold and unsustainable. But the worst part is too many rules will suffocate and choke the rest of the great dicipline people who can conform to basic and simple rules.

So to cut this writing short, what you really need to do is to get rid of these undicipline people and get new people. Dicipline people with dicipline mind and dicipline action.

You can introduce new rules when necessary but only after you get rid of the undicipline people. Introduction of too many rules can be boring to dicipline people and can even drive them away!.

Clueless

I meet with a lot of people from student, fresh graduates, seasoned businessman, working people and scrambling businessman wannabe.

Obviuosly, in the edge of Information technology, ideas are abundance and people are more exposed to ideas.

As I miggle around, I observed that people have many good ideas. Idea of improvements and even good business ideas. Sometime in my opinion, a lot of those ideas are viable.

When I found ideas viable, I spend a little more time to evaluate. I began asking more questions on the idea. After some time a pattern emerged.

The Idea is

A lot of people can come up with idea and sometime too many ideas!. I found out that they waste a lot of time with the ideas and fine tuning the ideas. End of the day, nothing solid materialised.

For one, the fear to bring the idea to life. Sometime,they do not even know how to bring it to life.

By fear and lack of knowledge plus unknown risk assesment, the idea never become reality. So they just talks about it endlessly and wasting their time.

Most of the time, people who later come across the idea. People with good management skills. Implement the idea and make a business out of it. Some time they make a fortune out of it!.

Many people have good ideas. Many people can come up with great ideas. But not many are able to translate the idea in reality.
