Obedience

Obedience is an act of spiritual discipline. It helps to build a persons character. Obedience teaches us
self restraint. We must obey our teachers and parents.
Obedience plays an important role in students life. Obedience begins at infant age with the family until
maturity. Childrens has to abide by the rules set down by the parents or grandparents (head of the

Responsibility
Being responsible refers to our ability to make decisions that serve our own interests and the interests
of others. We first need to be responsible for ourselves before we can be responsible for others. In
learning to be more responsible it is important that we know our limitations. It does not matter how
