One of our most difficult problems is what we call discipline and it is really very complex.

Most of us feel, especially while we are young, that there should be no discipline, that we should be allowed to do whatever we like and we think that is freedom. But merely to say that we should be free and so on has very little meaning without understanding the whole problem of discipline. The keen athlete is disciplining himself the whole time, isn't s/he?

  9. Read the paragraph below and answer the questions. AI, which stands for artificial intelligence, is a branch of computer science that develops machine systems capable of demonstrating behaviors linked to human intelligence. AI programs use data collected from different interactions to improve the way they mimic humans in order to perform tasks such as learning, planning, knowledge representation, perception and problem-solving. AI systems need to be built based on three main cognitive skills: (1) Learning: An AI program needs to be able to gather information that is turned into algorithms. (2) Reasoning: Once the algorithms are set, the AI needs to know how to select the right one for different scenarios. (3) Self-correction: In any AI machine, the algorithms need to be regularly updated based on new data in order to get a more accurate result. The primary benefit of using AI is that these systems can potentially complete tasks better and more efficiently than humans. This is especially relevant when it comes to mundane or repetitive tasks, which these machines are able to perform at a higher pace and with a much lower chance of error. Questions:
