the economy will only make the society lose a bunch of talented youngsters, with missed opportunities to develop their full potential.
The present situation seems hopeless to anyone. We often read about disheartening student suicide cases in the newspapers, and to think that 50% of our students have depression issues, there is no way out. However, there is still a beam of hope. The solution is quite simple: LOOK UP. After struggling to cram in information for so long, a five-minute break can do wonders. The brain can not only rest, burnout from studying can also be avoided. Just imagine the number of golden opportunities that could be spotted if everyone just looked up and embraced their surroundings; it could be as simple as a phone call or a stroll. School only takes up about a quarter of our lifetime. So why restrict ourselves to thinking that our lives are just about studying, when there are so much more discoveries to be made? When your study session is not going well, perhaps it is time to allow yourself to look up and look around, and you would be pleasantly surprised at what you will discover.
