There is always someone who l ooks very intelligent, and has read the whole of next term's reading list during the vacation. This kind of students always makes me feel so ignorant that I shoul dn't even breathe the same air as him because of my poor grades.
Nev er thel ess, I am among the top students of my class now thanks to a l ecture I attended. I can get my exam back, calmly flip through the few errors I made, and swiftly place my alpha minus into my bag.
Let me tell you why that l ecture has the magic power surprisingly.
The l ecturer said that those top students d on’t wait for motivation to strike, which inspired me a l ot. Motivation comes and goes, but studying for a degree requires persistence and consistency. Just like Olympic athl etes train even on their worst days, the best students figure out how to get their course work done when it’s the last thing they want to do.
What’s more, t he best students don’t simply use the study guid e the teacher provides. Instead, they create their own.
Creating the study guide is half the battl e, requiring you to go through your notes, consolidate them, and organize them in a way that you understand them. You’ll also be abl e to use your equations sheet much more effectively on the exam itself because you know exactly where everything is.That’s why the l ecture surprised me so much.。
