Acquiring the habits of
highly successful students
Part 5
2- Success is about
achieving goals, and therefore is a relative notion. Highly successful students
are those which set realistic goals, and attain them with the proper investment
of resources. Thus, not necessarily the student with the best grades is the
most successful learner. Now we have stated what the successful student is
like. Good.
If you have negative
entries in your list of driving forces, it’s time to improve things quite a
bit. First, identify other topics that you indeed like a lot, not necessarily
related to studying. Perhaps you like pets, to cook or to play videogames. Now,
try to establish associations or links between these favorite activities of
yours and the subject of study that you dislike. For example, let’s assume that
you dislike literature (you perhaps think it’s an utterly boredom) but love
your humongous pit-bull “casino Joe” then you could start thinking how your dog
would fit as a character into that novel you have to analyze: what it’s role
would be and how he would interact with other characters in the novel.
Choose the right
