School. Harboring some of my least-favorite memories. Not because I didn't like learning. Trust me, I'd give up any one of my adult days for one of those care-free school days. However, I can't help but frown sometimes about school because it felt like I was constantly being told what to do and how to do it. Especially, how to behave. Needless to say, if you did something that was outside of the guidelines, you'd be facing some type of "disciplinary action". As we get older and wiser, we realize it was for our own good. What can seem difficult is how to re-incorporate discipline in life. Not because others tell you to - but because you choose to.

Discipline: A Hate-Love Relationship
I finally finished the chapter on "A Culture of Discipline" from Good to Great. In the end, I liked it a lot. Took me a while to get through the 1st half though. What was neat is how everything that was read up to this point was tied together. Maybe the negative feelings about the word "discipline" made me drag my feet. Sadly, the word reminds me of those grammar school days and the people who made me feel inferior. :-/
