How to become a Good student

• Motivation - To become a good student, you need to get
motivated. Motivation can come from seeing situation of many
poor children around the world who are not lucky enough to get
a proper education. This is a good thing to keep in mind when
you find yourself not wanting to attend class or study at home.
All you need is confidence. For that, you need to feel that we
are enjoying and bettering ourselves in studies. You should
avoid forcing yourself to study, as this will make learning a
chore and you will not feel like even opening your books, and
possibly make you lose your interest in studying. You may
have academically good students in your classes, try
becoming friends with them, and you‟ll be immersed in an academic environment
which will help you feel motivated.
• Concentration on Studies - Concentration follows eagerness. You need to
pay attention in a class. Don‟t start chatting with your peers/friends when the
teacher turns their back to you. Even better, don‟t associate yourself with
distracting people. You should realize that the people in your class play an
important role in how everybody progresses. However, if you are a good student
you will do better and achieve your goal. At home, study and do your homework in
a place that doesn‟t make you sleepy. Do not study in the front of TV, Radios, etc.
These items will distract you. If you fell distracted, take a short break of 15 minutes
or less. But, at the time of studies, your whole concentration must be on studies.

• Behaviour - One of the main things that decides a person‟s or
child‟s future is their behavior. Learning textbooks and
achieving 100% is not enough. People should think that you are
the only all-arounder that has good manners. Obey your elders,
don‟t bully your classmates at school. Remember, try imagining
yourself in the other person‟s situation. Be nice with everyone.
You can achieve things by setting targets for yourself and
working hard towards them. Nobody is perfect in every subject.
You have strengths and weaknesses that you have to accept.
As long as you try hard everyday, you will be successful.
