The way of studying brought you from where to where

The best time to study is different for every person. It is decided on a biological and psychological basis. Reading in these hours can bring better results.

My second grade exam was over recently. 'Wow! What a relaxing day! After all, I had got rid of my books and studies. I was surprised at how fast the holiday days were compared to the school days. The day of the result was also coming to a close. However, when you are in the second grade, more parents worry about your result than you. But in my case it was not so. Like my parents were not worried about it.

I was playing with both my brothers and friends one day that the postman gave voice. He had several pink envelopes in his hand. We all shouted out the result. Quitting playing, we ran towards the postman. We - my brothers, sisters, all the friends of the neighborhood were studying in the same school. Hence the postman had several Gulali envelopes in his hands. After taking the envelope, some boys were shiveringтАж they could not even dare to open it. Some boys and girls were remembering their God before opening the envelope. I was standing in a very neutral mood. My brother opened the envelope and said - 'Dittend in class two'. I failed in speaking language.

The result at this stage of age hurt me less. Yes, I was sad that many restrictions were placed on my playing. School reopened. I noticed that all my friends were going to the third grade. I went back to the second grade. Gradually my old friends stopped talking to me. I heard his parents whisper many times that I am a 'failure'. Many times I heard my teachers saying that I am a 'Dal student'. This made me a bit disappointed. I felt that I was being ignored by failing. People's reaction hurt me more than failing and studying twice in the same class. It inspired me to study well.

Now with every class I was improving my studies. However, I was still not a topper. But now parents did not have to worry about my result. When I reached 10th, I realized that there is a difference between hard work and hard work done in the right direction. I learned that every student is different. Everyone's learning method is also different. If you do not know the right way to learn, then after working hard for hours, the result remains simple. I was making the same mistake. Millions of students make the same mistake - studies, studies, studiesтАж without knowing how to study?

Every student has their own special way of remembering or learning. But in general these methods are of three types. Seeing, hearing and feeling. Everyone learns these three ways at some time or the other. But one of the three methods is one that teaches him more easily. If he knows this method, then not only can he learn easily, but its clear effect can also be seen in the result.

Seeing Learners:

Such people often say, 'Show me first, then I explain.' Such students easily understand things through diagrams, charts, films, pictures, written instructions. They understand anything by writing. They do not have much effect on the voice, but if anything is seen around then the attention is lost. The best way to study such people is to read quietly. To understand, keep drawing pictures, diagrams, charts.

Listening Learners:

When people explain them by speaking, then their work becomes easy. Get things done quickly in drama, theater, dialogue, seminars. If you get any instruction only, then it will be difficult to remember them. It is easy to remember if someone speaks the same instructions. The best way for them is to read aloud. Their work becomes easier when they repeat things loudly.

Feeling Learners:

Such people learn easily by experiencing or practicing rather than seeing or hearing. Their work becomes easier with feeling. Want engagement with the subject and the teacher. They are easy to learn if they are taught by the teacher whom they like. The best way for them to learn is to practice by writing. Feel it.

Keep in mind, no one method is much better than the other. All have their advantages and disadvantages. It depends on what you want to learn. Yes, by studying in your favorite way, you make learning easy and fun.
In class 10, I learned that for me, the combined way of both seeing and feeling is better. I would have liked to read silently and repeat it by writing it. She used both ways, especially in long answers. I changed the way I read from this class. Now instead of studying for hours, I would study intelligently and work hard for less time and bring better results.

I studied 12th with science. I changed my style again a bit. Now I would take a notebook. She would write some keywords in it. I also created several odd keywords with a letter from the beginning. Like -VAK ie Visual-Audiotary-Kinesthetic. I realized that by creating keywords, I could easily remember many long answers.

From where to where Where did I fail in the second grade and got 12th rank in my state in 12th. My results were not only enjoyable, but also the preparation methods and studies were no longer burdensome.

After joining 2nd I joined my college (Alma Matter). In this, not only did I get the purpose of my life, I also learned a systematic way of studying. I understood that studying only one unit at a time is correct. With this, the brain has to understand or remember only one thing at a time. On the other hand, if I read different subject pieces at the same time, everything would get confused in my mind. Can not remember anything. The brain is like a cupboard. I would keep the history book, note book, guide, homework, answer, question paper in the same rack. This made it easy and natural to remember. Think of it like this, I did the homework of history, mathematics, Hindi and chemistry one after the other. This will confuse everything. At the same time, the mantra of one unit at a time gives me more time to understand and learn. I learned that studying a little bit is better than studying everything.

I used to study continuously for the first two-three hours. Later I learned that our mind can remain focused on a subject for only 40-50 minutes at a time. After this, attention starts to divide. So after reading 50 minutes, it is better to do something else for 10 minutes. During this time it is a good option to go for a walk, play, eat something light or talk to family or friends. But be careful that the conversation does not turn into a debate. This person will be upset. Watching TV will also divert attention. After knowing the mantra of 50 minutes per hour, I do not forget to take a break of 10 minutes.

It was during my college days that I realized that it took me more time in the morning than at night to understand anything. Then I learned that the best time to study is different for each person. It is decided on a biological and psychological basis. Reading in these hours can bring better results. Knowing this, not only did I get the benefit, but later also during the job. Now I do my most important work at this time. This also makes the work good and takes less time. On the other hand, which is not the best time for me to study or work, during which I play or watch a movie or talk with friends and family. I am neither a bookworm nor have fun like teenager. My time passes in a balanced way.

During college days, I came to know the importance of breakfast in a seminar. I learned that one third of the nutrition we need is available in breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal in our day. Due to this, not only the nutrients in our body remain in proportion, but many diseases like blood sugar are also controlled. It does not distract you. Weakness or laziness is also not known. After knowing all this, I became very conscious for breakfast. Had breakfast at all costs. In a dramatic way, it improved my focus level.

We not only feel good by having nutritious food, but also relieve stress. It also gives us new energy to learn new. The staple food must be nutritious. In short intervals we can also try popcorn, dates, peanuts, fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, juices, and fruitshakes. Flour, chocolate, fried and fried things, too much tea hurts us. These are attention-grabbing, stress-enhancing.

Truly, some topics are boring. But during my college days, I learned that many times, focusing on the result also motivates to read boring subject. Every time I brought to mind the idea of тАЛтАЛbeing a topper, there were scenes of celebrations with friends, teachers making me proud. Questions like what I want to become in life also inspire me to read boring topics. I learned that talking to myself and imagining the result can be self-motivated.

Anxiety and fear spread like viruses at the time of examination. When I called a friend, who was already scared and worried, both these symptoms started appearing in me as well. Scared of exams, people used to share their concerns with me and this would increase my stress. Usually such people come to you and ask which chapter you have not prepared well. One such question can make you think about your preparation. This also affects the answers you know well. After knowing all this, I decided that not talking to anyone before the exam is the best option. This is the best way to relax.

Often I would come out of the hall after taking the exam with confidence that I had written the correct answer. But after discussion with friends, it seems that I have done wrong. This would have affected my confidence for the next exam. Then I decided that once the exam is over, its discussion is not appropriate. I wrote down what I wanted to write. Now further work is with the examiner. My job is just to prepare for the next exam.

My IQ and EQ are still the same today as in the second grade. But the change in the way of learning changed a lot. I became an average and then good with 'Dal Student'. Then also achieved the distinction of being the best. I did my MA in Psychology and am a university rank holder.

My dear students, don't be bothered about what the previous result was. If I can change my way of studies from where I can reach, then you too can reach from wherever I am. Your future is in front of you and without knowing you I can say that your future is bright.
