“Elementary and Basic Practice for a Regime of Discipline and Order”
by Manuel Antonio Noriega
Order is born, discipline is learned!
Go to your room. Look 360 degrees and locate the unpleasant smell of humidity and dirt from your spilled clothes, and stinking thrown away socks. Your clothes, t-shirts, likewise. Summary: disgusting! You promise to change that because how you live, so you think. A simple experiment of yours.
I’m going to be orderly, I, alone, am going to do my things, I’m going to manage my conduct in life.
1 — Night has come, I’m going to go to bed.
a) I take off my jacket or coat; I hang it on the hook or I hang it in the corresponding place.
b) I take off my pants, fold them by their creases, and hang them on the hanger or place them folded on a chair, table, or something near my bed.
c) T-shirt, underwear, folded over the pants, one on top of the other.
d) Socks, also folded over the previous bundle.
e) I have already had my glass of water, brushed my teeth, urinated, and I am going to bed.
2 — Waking up: first, take a shower. Personal hygiene.
3 — Get dressed in the order you see fit.
4 — Take your time to leave your room and house tidy.
5 — After breakfast, wash your basic utensils. Cup, glass, plate, spoon. Wipe the table with a rag. Do not leave crumbs. With the broom, do a basic sweep around the kitchen, dining room, bed.
6 — Before leaving, I take a look at how I left the room. If there are magazines or loose books, I put them in a specific place. When I close the door, I look at the time on my watch. The same thing when I return and enter the room.
7 — When I return, I must know when calls are coming and answer them. When I do my homework, I must organize my notebooks, books, pencils, table and chair. Be careful! Do not do homework in bed. Do not read anything lying down. Keep your order and study discipline so that you are alert and focused. Bed calls for leisure, rest, drowsiness.
8 — Do these basic points and you will see that you are in order. Disciplinary actions have a multiplied effect at home, at work, or during activities. Knowing and remembering the name and profession of the person, recording their name and face. Look for the association with known facts or things.
9 — When you meet someone and they introduce themselves, look them in the eye, shake hands firmly, speak and answer loudly and clearly without hesitation. Let them feel your energy. Smile. Lift your head. Be polite without being shy. Speak. Ask about anything, but don’t let them judge you as shy and self-conscious.
10 — Practice this every day yourself, simply.
11 — No drugs. No getting drunk due to sadness, melancholy, fear or complexes.
12 — We started for a reason with your room. Because you and only you are the center of the world. The universe revolves around you. Believe, and you will see amazing things!
