1. They Won’t Let Bad Teaching Method Affect
Their Interest in a Subject:
I once gave a ride to three friends, a man and two ladies, during
introduction,
I indicated that I teach Physics, and suddenly there was an
expression of regret from one
of the sisters. On probing further for the reason
of that expression, she said her love for
the subject faded because the teacher
did not impact positively on their class in their first
year of taking Physics.
The second year of learning the subject was more like a struggle
because of the
knowledge gaps created in the first year of taking the subject. If you
happen
to face that situation now, don’t lose hope read this my article to know the
steps to
take to understand the subject better. Or better get a copy of my
E-Book for a wholesome
solution to understanding any of your subjects
2.
They won’t Relent on Revision of Daily Subjects
to stay Memory fresh: Successful
students form the habit of revising the subjects taught everyday before they
sleep or very
early every morning so the knowledge remains fresh in their
memory giving them a better
grasp in the follow up classes on the topic at school.
In fact, they would schedule their
study time table to accommodate all their
subjects on a weekly basis. That will deepen
their understanding of the subject
better.
3.
They won’t let go until they understand a
topic completely and effectively Successful
students won’t give up in dealing with a subject
topic until they completely and
effectively digest the knowledge it discusses. That
should be your goal too. Never stop
studying a topic until you completely
master it and be capable of discussing and
explaining to your mates effectively.
They won’t limit their study of a subject or topic to a single textbook:
Yes, and I seriously
They won’t limit their study of a subject or topic to a single textbook:
Yes, and I seriously
advocate that students should make use of more
than one textbook in the study of a
subject. Apart from your personally owned
textbooks, make use of the library because
you can get different textbooks written
by various authors. Every author has a unique
approach for presenting or
discussing a topic in a subject. You will always find one that
will be
simplified enough for you.
5.
They won’t let failure in a test demoralize
their interest and commitment: When
successful students fail to hit the minimum score in a test, they
never get discouraged.
That result should as always spur them into greater
determination to succeed. If it
happens to you, sit up and work out effective
way to increase your chances of making it
in the repeat test. Find out what
went wrong and make amends in your revision. That
way, you can be sure of
better performance in the next attempt.
6. \
They won’t let unresolved questions keep
them down for too long
Successful students do
Successful students do
not let difficult and unresolved questions keep them down for too
long. They focus on
their skills and knowledge and when the problem takes too
long to resolve, keep it aside
to return at a later date for a second attempt. Sometimes in taking up new
topics for
study, ideas on how to resolve an earlier lingering question appear
as a flash to you
triggering the desire to go back and complete the left-over
job. That way, at a second
attempt you will likely get it right.
7.
They won’t keep non serious students
especially classmates as close friends:
This is it, because most successful students are serious
minded, they do not keep non
serious friends. Their mates are usually the worse
for it because they will not accept
friendship that will rob them of useful study
time. They screen the request for friendship
which sometimes come in a subtle
manner from classmates or indirectly through their
friends. They study the
person involved and if not worthy of friendship quietly avoid that
relationship
or give a help if it is the approach adopted by the requester.
8.
They won’t ever miss going to study at the
library everyday Successful
students make
the visit to library one of the most important daily
responsibility. That’s because they find
it most convenient to read and
research the relevant books in their daily study time table.
They review every
textbook that has information concerning their subject of study. If you
get
used to the use of the library, you will experience its addictive nature. They know
it
and use it to become successful students.
9.
They won’t give up joining a study group to
exchange ideas for knowledge.
Successful students would take advantage of belonging to a study group
to exchange
knowledge. Every student knows that there are things they easily
understand and there
are some they do not easily understand. To help
themselves, they form study groups and
hare topics for each to read, digest
and teach the others. It is a rewarding exercise if well
managed.
10.
They won’t be ashamed of asking questions or for help when in difficulty:
Successful students are usually not hesitant to ask questions when in doubt. Some
'
students are shy and never ready to stick their neck out to ask for further
explanation
when in doubt. Successful students take advantage of question time
to increase their
knowledge and indirectly help the shy ones to understand
better.
