Some tips for effective learning:
From the outset of our existence we have
been dragging into the process of learning. It starts from learning how to walk
to how to speak, both of which are necessary for discovering our surrounding in
order to be able to tie a relationship with its parts. Thus, it is undeniable
that every single move we make is based on the keyword; knowledge.
Knowledge should be the core and pivot of
our moves, the point on which the young should base their attempts while making
future plans. But the present-day students are finding themselves in a daze,
surrounded by avalanches of troubles resulting in having a gloomy vision about
what they want, which even affects their academic career.
Here are some tips I think are necessary
for students to follow to face up their upcoming challenges:
Do what you love, love what you do:
The grave mistake that some students make
is the random choice of their field of study, whether done due to lack of
foreknowledge or sometimes as a result of misguidance. In order not to be
another victim, the best advice to follow is to make a quite free choice based
on inner admiration towards the chosen field, which I believe to be the
sure-fire way likely to lead to a bright future.
Be self-taught:
A special quality that every student needs
is self-teaching. Apart from the usual programme and materials scheduled by
schools and universities, it’s utterly important to adopt a strategy based on
leading one’s personal research and make tremendous efforts to broaden knowledge.
The best skills we acquire are those we learn on our own. This method not only yields fruits, but it teaches students how to deal with different situations, as well
as instils in them the necessary tools they need throughout their professional
careers such as sense of responsibility, working with methodology,
perseverance and self-motivation.
Self-confidence: you can do it!
To keep focus on one’s aim is a challenge itself;
it’s a question of resisting all kinds of lures and temptation to only keep
ahead.
Self-confidence as a very added value is
what you need. Having the capacity of trusting your abilities, eradicating fear
and all things that may mar your concentration, and whenever you meet the
dreams killers, try to listen to yourself, your inner part and say “yes I can
do, I am determined and no one in the world is able to hold me back to prevent
me from doing what I want”.
A comfortable place is the best option:
During their academic career, students
should grasp that their emotional state has a significant effect on their
productivity. Among the things they should be careful about is the place they choose
for their studies.
For instance, while studying, try to choose
a calm place, and if possible with attractive decoration inciting productivity.
Whenever boredom starts surging and striking hard, then you have to realise
it’s time for a change, look for another spot where you can recharge your battery
and think clearly.
