Keep Learning: Consistency is Key




Once you stop learning, you start dying - Albert Einstein

Education for life! Learning is continuous. It has to be so because life is dynamic. Things and times keep moving. So you have to move on with time and through time. Yes, you must keep learning.

Successful students keep improving themselves daily as they achieve and move from one level of success to another.

It has been scientifically proven that half of the information available to us now becomes irrelevant in the next two years.

Things we learnt  some decade ago are still being used by non-researching lecturers and teachers. This is mundane and archaic. They have refused to relearn and unlearn. So they don't do any research to be updated with  current information.

Successful students keep learning. They never stop learning. They keep improving their store of information. They are ready for every adventure. They seek to improve themselves daily and are updated always.

So if you are ready to go past the mark and achieve huge success in life,  you have to be ready for continuous learning.

If  you really want to keep up with the latest trends in life socially, academically, and economically you have to keep learning, keep improving your skills and unlearning the irrelevant.

All skills in life are learnable. So keep learning and stay updated and young.

more

culture

FAILURE'S ANTIDOTE


There is no substitute for hard work - Thomas Edison

There is no magic to success. There are no short cuts to success. All successful student work real hard. Hard work pays. There is dignity in labour.

It's amazing how students preparing for examination can't read and study hard for success. They are so lazy to read,  study and even do research. Some even find it difficult to do assignments and project works.

Successful students study lengthy hours. Success is persistent and diligent hard work.  There's no food for lazy men. There's no malpractice in real life situation.

Every student who have achieved on level of academic success out there really put in lots of hard work.  They are discipline personalities. If you can't work hard as a student,  what kind of a father or mother are you planning on becoming? What kind of leadership do you hope to achieve without hard work?

if you must succeed in life as a student,  you need to be discipline at your studies and be far removed from all frivolous activity that do not culminate into a high level of productivity. Take away the excessive play time,  the home videos,  the games and the unnecessary sleep.

Successful students work hard at school, home and religious setting.

All it takes is hard work. Have fun working real hard to attain your goals. Be a workafrolic not a workaholic. Work while you work. Don't play. Read or study while you study. Yeah! All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. You really don't have to be Jack all your life.

Students need to wake up to reality in the area of hard work. Be discipline to rule out parties, home videos, games and every activity that engages you wrongly.

Hard work is required to  become outstanding in every field of endeavor. Don't give up on your goals. Sweat it out because hard work pays. Stay focused on your dreams and bring them to reality.

Every rich or wealthy person you know today in every sphere of life has put in a great deal of hard work to get to where they are today. So quit being lazy, for laziness is the major cause of poverty. Laziness will strip you off your God-given destiny. Laziness reduces the quality of life people live. Laziness is a robber.

All successful students are hard working students. You too must put in a great deal of work to bring your dreams to pass. Work hard now, and rest tomorrow. Secure a bright future for yourself and generations unborn.

Benefits of Hard Work

1) Hard work will build your character: Hard work profits every student who puts his or her heart to it. Laziness will only destroy your destiny but hard work will build everything about you and make you strong for references

BE ACTION DRIVEN TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS


Action is the foundational key to all success - Pablo Picasso



Successful students not only set goals and prioritize, they take ACTION. Yes action is one of the secrets of successful students.

Things don't change on their own. It takes action. It takes responsibility to effect the change we desire as students. It takes action coupled with self motivation to become successful in every area of life. Nothing will ever change without the application of force (action). A lot of students today just relax thinking that things and times will change on their own. No, we need to change our perspective right away. That’s why students these days have decided to wait for the gate way of examination malpractice to success.

Our educational system today has been destroyed by examination malpractices. Students have been told big fat lies that without adequate study and preparation, they can still pass their exams. In most cases, frustration and pain associated with great disappointment has always been the case because even the school owners and ill cultured teachers who made such promises, can not deliver due to gross inadequacies on their part.

Successful students are action driven. They have self motivation. They don't procrastinate and go into “someday island”. You have to take action on the goals and plans for your future. There is no better time than now. You don't have to see all the stairs, just take the first step. Taking action puts you in motion and you just keep moving. A rolling stone gathers no moss.

If we don't take action as students, we remain were we are. Everything remains status quo. Life is lived inside-out. Put your heart to what you have planned to do. You don't need all the money to take action. There is no perfect time to take action. Begin now.

Take action to study harder. Take action to be a better person. Take action to start mid-night study. Take action to be discipline. Success likes speed. Run with your dreams. Don't wait. Take action today and be glad you did. You will be amazed how much distance you'll cover if you begin right away with your written down goals.

Taking action gives you a head way and brings out the best in you as you make progress daily. So don't stay down, hit the road with your goals and dreams by taking correlative actions that will ultimately lead to your happiness.

Nature and even God will send help your way as you take action on your plans and dreams. Don't wait. Start now! There's no better time.

When you fail to plan and take action, failure is inevitable.

Ways To Avoid Procrastination

1) Don't think for too long: Save your self long hours of thinking and brooding over your goals.
2) Be flexible with the outcome: THE results of your goals may change for something even better, so don't dwell to much on the outcome of your decision.
3) Keep away or avoid all forms of distraction: Remove yourself if possible from elements that will not make you focus. This is not the time to watch TV or listen to music. You need to concentrate, that's discipline.
4) There's no perfect timing: Yes, no better time than now. Don't delay don't second guess. This is your moment so hit the go button. Don't wait. You may want all your years.
5) Let the good propel you: Look at the good in your dream or goal. Let that be your motivation. Let it push you to start. No waiting, no filling, start right away and keep moving.
