How to study!

How to study! (Wait—what?):

I have a problem. Since I am still a student in high school, I cannot say I cannot avoid studying. This seems a bit odd in my part. Although nobody should ever dislike studying, sometimes it is hard for me to actually find the point or see whether or not it makes me a better human. I am weird aren’t I! I find that I cannot ever effectively study! The reason, which I am beginning to realize, is that I do not enjoy what I do, and that it has no other purpose than to help me receive a good grade. Of course, there are other things to learn about in life, not just what is in the textbook. I wanted to find out what exactly can help me study well. Here I compiled a list of tips (some from somewhere I cannot recall) to help us effectively study:

•       Humility: Studying without a sense of humility is like pouring water over a stone, there’s no penetration. This means that we should not allow ourselves to be self-satisfied when we study. We learn more with a humble attitude, while satisfaction makes it difficult to hold onto anything.

•       Alertness: If you are not alert, you won’t be able to absorb the material in your textbooks. Then you won’t be able to apply it.

•       Perception: Lack of perception results in empty rationalizing. It has no practical use.

•       Application: When we study seriously, we must allow what we learn to affect us. We mull it over and reflect on it. By actually putting it into practice, we can truly obtain the benefits of studying.

Okay everybody that is all for today! Have a wonderful summer day, and whether you need these tips or not, please let me know what you think of them!
