Personally, I will attach the greatest importance to time. Let me just take all of us for example .Most students have noticed that every morning,it takes us around 30 minutes on bus before we arrive at NUS. So, what do you do in this period? Check Facebook or review your vocabulary notebook?
Every day consist of 24 hours.Why some students can have a methodical schedule while others may complain that time is too tight? The reason may be that they know how to make use of our most limited resource --- time. While you have to spend a whole hour after school struggling with your math problem, some of your classmates might just need to spend anther 15 minutes. The reason is that the break time ,which you wasted on Facebook earlier that day,is highly valued by your classmates. And they use it on their homework --- that's why they always seem to be methodical,because they know how to use time, how to make the most of our limited time.
Actually, it's not so difficult to know the importance of making use of our time, just like what happen to the boys in RV high school Hostel...
On the very first day of our bridging course, I saw all boys taking a notebook in hand, trying to memorise the key words and other important sentence structures.In fact, this good learning atmosphere survived the first week. But, when it moved to week 2, there seemed to be some subtle difference...And on the first day of week 3, there still existed a few guys holding notebooks ,fighting against the call of sleepiness. Eventually, this morning,the last day of week 3, only one was still working on his vocabulary notebook,while the rest of us chose to either take a nap or check Facebook...
So, I guess we all see where it goes wrong: No perseverance!
We all know how difficult it is when you have to fight against laziness.Yet,every time when you think it's your limit, just encourage yourself to persist for another day. Once it forms into a habit,you will naturally follow it.

ReplyDeleteGood analysis! We do need to cherish time and maintain persistence. Let the SUBTLE DIFFERENCE develop towards a better direction.
DeleteI agree we find the method that suits us best. TIME MANAGEMENT is essential - read THE BANK ACCOUNT.
ReplyDeleteTHE BANK ACCOUNT really impresses me a lot.
DeleteI guess there're a lot we can do to make full use of it.
Thank you Ms.Yap !
Perseverance need to act on the premise that what you are woking at is correct for you.Otherwise,perseverance is meaningless.
ReplyDeleteEasy in words, hard in actions......I hope we can all challenge ourselves on limited time and self-discipline.
ReplyDeletehaha! It depends on people, actually. Some guys may consider that studying on the way to NUS also means the time is too tight.. But the method mentioned above do make sense for certain kind of people!
