ORDERLINESS
Order is necessary in nature as also in all worldly things. It
means the arrangement or disposition of the parts or components of any set up according to a particular sequence, pattern or
method. Lack of these qualities leads to
disorder which may be not only unseemly but also dangerous. No machine works
efficiently without necessary orderliness.
The synonyms of order and orderliness are many : neatness,
tidiness, harmony, system, method, organization, uniformity, regularity,
symmetry, pattern, arrangement, grouping, systematization, structure, sequence,
lay-out, etc.
Orderliness ensures not only proper arrangement and
functioning of things and set ups but also peace, beauty, and escape from
wastage of time.
The most important idea to be noted is “Order is heaven’s
first law.” ---English poet Alexander Pope (1688-1744) .
According to the English poet Robert Southey, (1774 -1843) :”Order is the sanity of the mind, the
health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state.---As the
beams to a house, as the bones to the body, so is order to all things.”
The American theologian and minister Tryon Edwards (1809-94) advises:
Have a time and place for everything, and do everything in its time and place,
and you will not only accomplish more, but have far more leisure than those who
are always hurrying as if vainly attempting to overtake time that had been
lost.
Finally, this positive quote on orderliness: A good system
shortens the road to the goal.
