  Q) Write a speech to be delivered  in the school/ college assembly on ' Importance of Discipline in Life.'  Good morning to all of you. Myself Riyan Parag a student of class X. Today, in this morning assembly I would like to say a few lines about the 'Importance of Discipline in Life. I know very little in your eyes and forgive me for my unknown mistakes.             Discipline means learning to obey rules. It is the habit of doing things in an orderly and systematic manner. The importance of discipline is felt in every step of life. At school, students will have to learn to obey school rules.
