Every one craves success. In fact, 99%
percent of unsuccessful people actually wish
they are or were successful. This is a proven
fact. When it comes to scholarship every
student wishes to be successful
academically, therefore it isn’t rocket
science or an eight world wonder to see
unsuccessful students envy there successful
counterparts.
Success in school goes beyond being
academically sound; it has a lot to do with
living a balanced life as a student. Not
having a dead social life and at the same
time maintaining good grades TOO. Not
every student is successful, it is believed
that one can’t eat his cake and have it, it’s
either you are a bookworm or a social freak.
That’s a lie, I would share with you here
timeless secrets that has kept many
successful students successful and living a
balanced life…
1) They wake early: this is an open secret;
fact is a lot of people know they are
supposed to wake early but they don’t. Until
they are forced to. Thing is, you can’t be
successful if you always sleep in. Successful
students know they have an event filled day
ahead of them so they wake early. Please,
waking early doesn’t mean waking by 6a.m,
no, that’s not early. It means waking by 5am
or earlier. As a student waking early should
be a part of you. Waking early helps you
plan your day ahead, it helps you think
clearly too and gives you ample time to do
some exercises before the day starts.
2) Write their to do list: a to do list is a list
of what one wants to do I a day, week,
month etc. successful students know what
to do and when to do it, this isn’t so
difficult, they have a to do list. The
successful student has a time to play with
friends and joke around, he knows when to
go to the library and study, and he knows
when to attend a party and when to read all
night. This is because he wakes early and
plans his day. He writes his to do list. I can
bet you don’t write any. Most students don’t
have a planned day; they just wake up,
dress up and leave the house. This isn’t the
first time you are getting to know about a to
do list, but you have always underestimated
the power. A to do list should be arranged
in order of importance and necessity.
Writing a to do list is an important part of a
successful students life.
3) Stick to their plan: this is where discipline
plays a role, successful students don’t just
sit down, make a list and go throw a party.
No, they stick to the list. Even if they have a
hundred things to do on that list, they stick
to it and fulfill them by order of
importance. Some students make this list,
put it in their bag and don’t remember it till
they are about to sleep. Some even lose it.
Successful students have mastered the act of
self control, when they make a list they
make sure they do what’s in it. Making a
list isn’t difficult, sticking to it is. If you
want to be successful, learn to stick to your
lists.
4) Prepare for the next day: at the end of
the day, successful students prepare for the
next day; they wash their clothes, iron
them, clean their shoes, and arrange their
bags and any other thing they need for the
next day. Most students don’t do these; they
just wake up and start preparing, this often
leads to dirty or haggard clothes. That’s
why you see some supposed bookish
students come to school with rumpled
clothes or odd attires.
5) They don’t discriminate: successful
students read what’s necessary and every
other thing; they are usually voracious
readers who don’t limit themselves to
recommended academic texts that are
sometimes difficult to understand. A
successful student has a wide knowledge
base and he can say something about almost
everything.
