A balance student is the one who maintain a balance between his academic and spiritual life. He's not slothful in his business (academic work), he's fervent in the spirit (spiritual life).
Daniel's life was a good example to the contemporary christain student. He was a christian student sent to school in dark Babylon; skillful in all wisdom, righteous in character; dilligent in business; purposeful in endeavour; selfless in privileges; confident in his God; resolute in commitment; humble and prayerfull all the time; above all he was ten times better than the magicians and atrologers of his days in Babylon (Daniel 1:20).
You must be an example of believers in word, in charity, in spirit, in faith, and in purity. Your dressing must be that of a christian. According to Charles G. Finney, "Christian should not conform with the world in dress, equipage, parties and seeking wordly amusements. Your can either save a soul or make a soul dammed."
I agree with Mattew Henry who says, "The attire of a harlot can never become a chaste christian matron." To be a balance student, the following principles are necessary.
DETERMINATION: strong desire to please God in a crooked environment and live a life of holiness each day.
DELIGENCE: Be fervent in spirit, start each day with a quality quiet time, study your bible everyday, attend fellowship with other believers, preach the gospel everyday, obey God and His word.
DISCIPLINE:
* Dont be involved in too many activities that can reduce your efficiency.
* Avoid unprofitable engagements that have no bearing with realizing your goal
* Delegate responsibilities where necessary.
* Always be brief and straights to the point on any appointment.

Christianity is not a hideout for academic failure
