There is one more word, that seems to be very close to dream, but has absolutely
different meaning. People often mix up the dream with this word. This is fantasy.
Fantasy - is the definite feeling of wishing something. BUT the man is not ready to
take action to reach this fantasy. Now lets discuss the feelings of the person who
has a dream and a person who has a fantasy
When you have a dream, you experience desire, you are in need of your dream.
This is not just a hope or wishful thinking. The dream obscures all other small and
negative thoughts, it becomes an obsession. This state of mind is necessary for the
strong decision to take actions, to put your dream over other unimportant and
inconsiderable goals and plans. It helps to attain the persistence and consistency in
actions that will exclude failure in the end result. And only this desire will bring
you success. Only this desire will make your dreams come true. Your desire should
be so strong to make you stand firm and be able to convince yourself in the future
success. You have to believe in your dream till the time it becomes an obsession
and only then this obsession transforms in reality. Every person, who wants to
become a winner should be able to burn all bridges and cut all the roads back. Only
in this case you will attain the state of mind called a burning desire, that is
essentially important for reaching the dream.
The major factor that differs dream from fantasy is the power of the wish. When
wish is strong enough to makes us act, it becomes a dream. The next important
factor is believe. On these two factors depend the outcome. These two factors give
the answer why man CAN act to achieve the dream or why he CAN NOT.
Smart students hate studying. Having grown up in an education system that
permitted them to treat school like a day job, the overtime that comes at college is
often a surprise.
Every article I have ever read approaches this subject from the point of view that you
are already in the process of studying for a big test. This is like comparing riding a
bike for the first time with flying a jet; with the latter, you WILL crash and burn. Before
attempting to do something challenging, you have to start small and work your way
up.
Unfortunately, inadvertently or not, we learn from a young age that good studying is
evidence of indentured servitude, a grittier-than-average grindstone, and a well-
chafed nose. This is the reason some people hate math or science. Having been
trained to fear the process of knowledge acquisition, they avoid what they might
actually find fascinating.
I’ll warn you in advance that this article is about serious implementation of long-term
study skills. If time is more of an issue for you, I have two other study articles. One is
about how to study for a book quiz, with the other about how to cram for tests at the
last minute.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” –
Confucius
Have you ever noticed how some people with amazing technical skills never even
graduate high school? How do they learn how to do all of this with such a limited
education? I can tell you why: They love what they do. Instead of fearing the process
of learning, they watch the clock every day until they finally get to go home and tinker
with their automobiles or electronics.
A school’s job is not to teach you facts and dates. Its only purpose is to guide you
toward the path of life-long learning, in effect, teaching you how to learn. The
problem is that most of us have so much else to be thinking about and such a bitter
taste in our mouth about school that we do not (or cannot) allow this to happen. Once
you learn HOW to learn, the world is a much more interesting place.
What is your favorite thing to learn about in the entire world? When reading or
watching a video about it, do you feel bored? Of course not. I am going to show you
how to apply this elsewhere.
As soon as you graduate high school or any summer thereafter, start this project. It
will work during an easy semester, too, but you will get the most out of it during a
summer. The main goal is learning how to take the same habits and methods you
used to learn about something you love and apply them to a college course.
Pick a subject similar to a typical college course. The only criteria is that
you are already interested.
Go to the library, a discount online book store, or talk to a friend and find
a textbook on this subject. Most professors use textbooks, so it is a good
habit to get used to following their systematic approach. This textbook will be
your guide for the rest of the summer, so make sure that it is not more than 4-
5 years old and that it is at least thick enough to knock somebody out.
Scour the internet for the major themes and concepts of the subject. The
textbook probably has these, but it is more fun to peruse Google. This also
gives you an opportunity to make sure that you have chosen a topic for which
you have enough interest. Eventually you’ll be able to do this, but for now you
aren’t quite ready for that.
Keep a notebook. Use dividers, plastic page protectors, the whole nine yards.
In order to make this applicable, you need to try and match the conditions as
closely as possible. Every time you “have class”, date the paper and take
clear, legible notes.
If possible, sign up for a class at a local community college. Your actual
university never has to know about this grade unless you want it to. This is
just an experiment. The tests do not matter, homework doesn’t matter, and if
you decide the research paper isn’t for you, who cares? The point of this
exercise is to learn how to study, which, despite the popular misconception,
means how to learn. (HINT: Even if you can’t afford it, just find out what time
the class meets and show up. This is especially effective if the class is huge.
If the class is small, just tell the professor you are auditing.If forced to leave,
continue your study at home as originally planned.)
You are an adult, now. Start using a daily planner. If you are as addicted to
the computer and as frugal as I am, a download will suit you better than a 30
dollar leather-bound organizer from the mall. I currently use Mozilla
Sunbird because I am a big fan of Mozilla’s software. Every Sunday is your
chance to get ready for the week to come. List important things you need to
finish on their corresponding days, and be sure not to overwhelm yourself.
Mark on your planner which hours of each day will be spent studying. You
must treat these times as sacred and allow nothing except an emergency to
interrupt you.
Find or construct your workplace. As much as this sounds like some New
Age/Feng Shuistercus tauri, it is actually beneficial. A place for learning
should not also be the place for City of Heroes. Whether a quiet corner of a
library or your back porch, find a place that has little distraction and makes
you feel ready to learn. (NOTE: I am not being literal when I say construct.
This usage is more along the lines of using earplugs, incense, etc; however, if
you want to build yourself a castle in the woods with sap-covered bookshelves
and a drawbridge made out of a half-exploded Ford Pinto, be my guest.)
Go to any huge retail store with a few bucks. While here buy anything
school-related you will need for the summer. (Pens, paper, condoms,
chloraseptic spray, two Dora the Explorer lunch-boxes in case one breaks.)
Going into a new school year always means new supplies, so make your
usual purchases to keep the same spirit alive.
At this point you might feel this is too much for you to handle. That’s normal. Change
is incredibly difficult for creatures of habit, whom we all are. You must stay positive.
Remember, this is something you want to be learning about anyway!
Now that you have all of this planning out of the way, it’s time to get started.
Find an adequate reward system.
Studying for 14 hours straight is not as beneficial as studying a couple hours a day
throughout the week, so break up large periods of time into smaller sessions. Once
you finish each study session, reward yourself handsomely. If you have a fast
metabolism, eat your favorite snack. For the rest of us, watch a few clips on YouTube
every time you finish a chapter.
It is safe to say that human beings are pretty much as mammalian as the rest of our
furry lactating friends, so use this to your advantage. Only reward yourself when you
accomplish your goals and you’ll be drooling at the sound of the bell in no time.
Create deadlines for yourself.
Procrastination is little more than the visible representation of a person’s desire not to
be bossed around. Most people who are used to wasting an entire night of sleep to
study for an exam or to write a paper have probably laughed through this entire
article. They feel that they don’t need to do things any other way because they like
the notion that they control their destiny. They may be right, to an extent, but there is
a better way to go about doing this.
During this summer, make your own deadlines. Pretend a professor wants something
the 14th, and instead set your own personal deadline of the 12th. By doing this,
procrastinating is defying nobody but yourself.
Do big things first.
People would rather spend two hours organizing a medicine cabinet than cleaning
out a garage. We are afraid of big tasks. We think we’ll just give up. The sad part
about this is that by finishing the difficult tasks first, they are out of the way and the
little tasks practically finish themselves. When trying to learn everything about
George Washington, which is an enormous task, one must break it up into many
smaller tasks. By breaking up a larger task into all of its smaller components and
spreading out each small component over a couple weeks, you will notice a vast
improvement in the amount of ground you are able to cover. That horrible feeling of
being overwhelmed will also finally be put to rest.
Review is necessary.
Review is a great opportunity to see how much you are learning. As you go through a
lesson, make yourself a little quiz for the next day based on the important information
you have found. Take this quiz and see how you do. If there are things which you
have forgotten, go ahead and put them on the quiz for tomorrow. Once you feel that
you have once again successfully subdued the material, move on with the new stuff.
I originally wanted to put “Study every day.” after every sentence in that last
paragraph, but I felt that it was too distracting. If for some reason you cannot stand
the thought of looking at a book on a particular day, do something fun with the
subject such as watching a movie or trying to sketch a battlefield. Hell, go down to
the mall dressed up like Napoleon and try to teach the security guards the finer
points of war.
Good luck, and have fun
