Succeeding consistently is not accidental, hence there are principles that successful students consciously or unconsciously follow,
π SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS FORM A HEALTHY STUDY HABIT: Most successful students know that it would be counter-productive to study only during exams,
so they start studying from the beginning of the semester & they study consistently, some join study groups too,
but from my experience, personal study is highly effective, and this can be combined with group study.
In fact a student who does not read on their own but only depends on lectures is already positioning him/herself below excellence.
π SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS ARE MOTIVATED: I didn't say they listen to motivational speakers! Doing that is good, but if you don't have a reason why you want to succeed, you may do things that will keep you from succeeding.
Your WHY, is your biggest motivation. Write down at least 10 reasons why you want to succeed.
π SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS KEEP GOOD ASSOCIATIONS: Mind those you associate with, if you want to be successful. The truth is people want you to be like them consciously or unconsciously,
If you associate with those who don't want to make A, chances are that you'll get infected with their mindset.
π SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS HAVE TARGETS: Action and reaction are equal and opposite, you can't target at C, put in C effort and expect an A.
Successful students have very high targets from the start of the semester. Some target at 90% from the onset, you won't be surprised when they finally score 77%.
π SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS DO THEIR ACADEMIC WORKS WELL: No matter what you do, if you don't do your academic work, every other thing is a waste of time and effort.
They do their assignments, tests, practicals, exams, presentations, etc. and they do these very well.
If you are a student, always do your academic work and do it well.
