out  of  school,  the  students  will  totally  forget  the  core  concepts  that  they  had  learnt.
                       Therefore, it is essential for a good student to understand the concepts.


               Chapter 1 - Motivation



               To become a good student,  you need to get motivated! Motivation can come from seeing the
               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. Another reason to get motivated to study is that you will enjoy a better quality

               of  life  as  an  educated  person.  Possibly  another  reason  is  to  look  at  people  who  are  famous
               today, and looking into their education, degrees, grades, school records, etc.

               All  you  need  is  confidence!  For  that,  you  need  to  feel  that  we  are  enjoying  and  bettering
               themselves, study can be looked as a competition and divided as a team task. 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  many
               academically good students in your courses, try becoming friends with them (or encourage your
               fellow students to be better), and you'll be immersed in an academic environment which will help

               you feel motivated! But be careful not to make them think you're "using" them, just to get good
               grades, maybe try being actual friends with them!


               Chapter 2 - Concentration On Studies


               Concentration follows eagerness. This section provides you with the basics of "Concentration"

               and also provides you with advice as to how to get aroused with concentration.

               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 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 goals. If you decide to

               associate with distracting people, or goof of in class, you'll regret it later and receive punishments
               from the school.

               Your friends will be there for you at  that  time, if they  are trustful and of a good reputation. At
               home, study and do your homework in a place that doesn't make you sleepy. It is advisable to
               have a dedicated study table or desk. Don't do your study work in front of the TV, radio, stereo,

               etc. That would be pointless because you are meant to be thinking about your studies.

               If you feel distracted, take a short break of 15 minutes or less; maybe try to read an unrelated
               story book. But don't start sticking to the book if the time limit is over. Bookmark the page and
               then you can read it later on. You should also have a daily routine/timetable to guide you, but you
               must follow it through. It might be difficult to begin with, but hard beginnings make good endings.
