Study socializes you, gives you insight and broadens your vision. You have to work hard. You have to become a productive person in future who can serve the mankind, his family and himself. Your future is purely based on your study. Your family has high hopes from as well as people of society have expectations from you. Your dreams are based on your study. A well known saying about dream is “Dream is not what we see while we sleep; it is something which does not let us sleep”. To make your dreams come true you have to sacrifice even your sleep. Make up your mind that you have to work hard and achieve success at any cost. Problems are same for all students. It depends on you, how nicely you handle problems. Never fear problems in the way of your study. Have strong determination to tackle problems. Never decide at first glance that it is difficult. Go ahead and see the improvement. Try, try and try again to make up your deficiencies. Even if you fail, don’t lose heart. Start again with stronger determination. Failure does not mean “to stumble” but it means “not to get up after you stumble”. You should not stop if you fail one time, start again. Make stumbling blocks your stepping stones which raise you to success. Success lies in the ability to stand firm as a rock under all circumstances. Be ambitious. Develop the sense of competition. For instance, consider the student in your class who stands first in class and who get higher grades than you. Think why you can’t get higher marks than him. Has he two brain or four eyes? No, the only reason is that he is more interested in study than you are interested in study. You can get higher marks than him if you think how to make it possible. George Reeves says “you can if you think you can”. It means possibility of anything depend on your thinking. If you think that you can do it, you can surely do it. Have confidence in yourself and work hard. Nothing can divert you from your purpose. Have one successful person as your ideal personality and think how did he become successful? Follow his the way which made him successful. Meet successful people and talk to them how they succeeded. They give you inspiration. It enhances your interest in your study. You should have the desire to learn. Desire to learn enables you to sacrifice for study and manage time for study. It enables you to study anywhere, any time. It creates a sense of responsibility in you about study, a sign of success. It puts you in sense of competition to learn more and more. It make you generate new ideas and techniques for study, how to study effectively, how to concentrate, how to manage time for study. In short, it makes study your habit. If you don’t have the desire or the thirst for learning, you study just to pass the exam, such study is no use because you take it as a burden on you. With such study you can just pass the exam with low grades or sometime you even fail. Aim of study is to get distinction in exam with high grades, which is only possible if you have the love or thirst to learn


 A very well-known saying is, “He who fails to plan, he plans to fail”. Planning is very much important, if you want to be a successful student. A schedule helps you in utilizing your time more productively.  It helps you to complete your course in a particular time. It tells you how much part of your course should be studied weekly or monthly so that you can complete your course before the exam.

          A schedule is made on weekly or monthly or daily basis. You may make schedule for your whole session having work for each day of session, it is good because you get the idea about your course and time available as well as you don’t need to make it again and again. It is good you make schedule from the beginning of your session.

How to make a Schedule


  • Count the number of subjects included in your course. Count the number of chapters and lessons or topics or exercises in each subject. Calculate sum of chapters or lessons or topics.
  • Count the months or days you have for preparation of your course.
  • Divide total topics of your course over total days you have for preparation, it will give you idea that how much part should be studied daily so that you can complete your course. (You may divide your course on months, it depends on you)
  • Make a table with rows and columns. Write the dates in the rows of one column and topics names or chapters names in the rows of other column.
  • Making schedule may take your one hour or two but if you do not make it, you may lose many hours because schedule creates punctuality in you and enables you to utilize your time more effectively and productively. 

Example. Lets suppose, a student reading in semester system (a semester has 6 months) has four subjects. he will first calculate how much chapters or lessons are there in each subject.
Calculation

  • • Book-1 = 15 chapters = 185 topics
  • • Book-2 = 20 chapters = 200 topics
  • • Book-3 = 13 chapters = 145 topics
  • • Book-4 = 16 chapters = 190 topics
His entire course comprises of 185+200+145+190 = 720 Topics
He has 6 month for preparation or 30x6 = 180 Days

Divide total topics by total days you have for preparation,  720 topics/180 days = 4 topic/per day.
It means that if you study and prepare 4 topics daily you can complete your course easily before exam. Remember you should not study 4 topics of same book in one day, better you select one topic from each subject for every day. You may increase the number of topic per day; it depends on you but that calculation tells you that at least study four topic a day to complete your course in time.
After this calculation he shall make a table (having rows and column) on paper with the help of ruler and pen. He will write dates in rows of one column and topics names in the rows other column. Total days are 180 so he will make table having 180 rows or 3 table each having 60 rows. Making schedule  may take one hour but if he does not make it, he may loose many hours  because this schedule will create punctuality in him.
