I had only join in the CIP on the second session, and what we did was to collect food from those residents staying there... So as we went door to door to ask if they had any non-perishable, and had saw alot of different kinds of people... We had meet people who are totally selfish, which they purposely don't open the door for us... We had also meet people who are very kind, they didn't had the notice, but still went to see if they had anything to donate... And also, people who are helpful, knowing that his neighbour dog was fierce, so he open his door gate so that his neighbour can pass the donation to us without opening their gate... Last but not least, we had meet people who are friendly, she had chat with us from the time where she opens her gate to welcome us... Cos she had already prepare alot of stuff for us, and she even ask us whether any vehicle will come and help us, it also shows how much she donated...

The cip was a long ago and i cant remember much. The 1st week of cip, we gathered at kranji as a class. The guy briefed us and told us that we need to go door to door interacting with the resident. I felt very....uhhh...and..more uhhh.. I dont like going to ppl house and disturbing on a nice beautiful saturday. And so we went knocking on ppls "doors" or gates. MOst of the resident didnt answer and i was so like tired and demoralised. If i recalled correctly, we only got 8 of the residents out of 50 or 100. The it started to rain. The guy from the welfare saw us and ask us to find shelter. and we slacked at the shelter until it was time to go.

The following week...i was like omg we didnt distribute flyers and confirm will not get much food. but there is 1 guy who went to the supermarket just to donate food item. most of the food item were maggi mee. we got quite a lot of food.some of the food expired =x.

There are several ways to achieving self-discipline. There are no shortcuts meaning that you cant attain self-discipline overnight. Now that i've warned you let us move on.
1) Set a task. Lets say practicing mathematics. Now set a time and try to keep on doing the task until the time is up.
2) Make a timetable. Stick to the schedule.
3) Keep a logbook. After your done with the task, put a tick.
Now that you know the tips and tricks, good luck in achieving self-discipline.

Importance of self-discipline

2008-04-27T08:25:00.000-07:00

The importance of self-Discipline is success. Without Self-Discipline, we would not succeed. Because Self-Discipline must be developed in order to succeed, it must be practiced everyday, so you will strenghten it.
Self discipline is the ability to reject instant gratification in favor of something better. It is the giving up of instant pleasure and satisfaction for a higher goal. It gives you the power to follow your decisions, stick to them and not change your mind too often, and therefore be able to reach your goals.

"Nothing is more harmful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army superiority over another."

What is self-discipline?
Many people have different perspective of self-discipline.
Some feels that it means respect for others,
others may feel that it is to have self control.
Take gaming for example.
To apply self-discipline in gaming, we need to have self control over the number of hours we spend on the game.
Many teenagers this days can easily play 5-8 hours per day.
Those who are really engrossed in the game might eventually get addicted and could not control their desire to play the game. That is considered as an act of bad self-discipline.

To us, the defination for self-discipline means:
Training and control of oneself and one's conduct, usually for personal improvement.

Why is it important for us to practice self-discipline?
I shall continue another day (:
