8 Special Uplifting Words of Advise For Encouraging Students in 2015 by liveyourlife: 10:43pm On Dec 01, 2014 |
There are many reasons a student can lose focus in school. For now, maybe these inspirational quotes on learning and hard work can do the trick. 1. “If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.” – Steve Jobs With the likes of Mark Zuckerberg being the poster boy of drop-out billionaires, it’s easy to see why many students seem to think that they no longer need school to succeed in life. But closer inspection shows that their path to success is muddier than one would expect. And besides, we can’t all be Mark Zuckerberg. We can’t all be Steve Jobs. But students can try to pave their own way to success and school can help with that. 2. “Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their packages at different times.” – Anonymous Students can’t help but compare themselves with the top notchers in class. While some obviously spend a lot of time studying, some students barely study and still manage to get good grades. Then there are students, who no matter how hard they try still scramble to get decent grades. They need to understand that students have different modes and strengths in learning, and sometimes formal education doesn’t work for many students. But every student has a talent and a skill that need time to develop. 3. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas A. Edison It’s easy to get disheartened with a failed Math exam, but it’s just one exam out of many. A low grade for an English essay may be discouraging, but there’s always a next time. What students need to keep in mind is that getting bad grades and making mistakes can only lead to further learning. There’s always room for growth and time to correct their mistakes. One failure doesn’t mean it’s endgame already. 4. “You can do anything, but not everything.” – Anonymous With so many options for young minds to explore and wander, students are often pressured to be great in everything. But that’s not something mere mortals can do. There’s nothing wrong with being a Math wizard and finding difficulty penning a coherent essay. What students can do is to focus on what they’re good at and once they’ve mastered this skill, they can go ahead and try other things. They’ll feel burned out if they take too much activities on their plate all at the same time. 5. “You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach your goals.” – Booker T. Washington There’s a reason why a B+ in a subject you find difficult seems a lot sweeter than the easy A+ in your PE class. When you work hard for something, an excellent result may not be quick to attain but even a satisfactory result is enough to send students in pure bliss. 6. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – Wayne Gretzky Students are often disheartened by bad results, but giving up without even finishing their tasks means they won’t even get any result, besides a failing mark. It’s always better to give learning a shot before deeming it as something they’ll be bad at. They may fail the first time, but they’ll eventually get better at it. 7. “Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.” – Jack Canfield To reiterate the earlier point, students miss out more when don’t even give it a try. Many students have this mindset that they’ll fail anyway, so why exert an effort in studying? But the fact that they don’t even open their books and rarely listen to discussions means that they didn’t even bother giving it a shot. Efforts may not always reap the best rewards, but it’s better than none. 8. “Tough times never last. But tough people do.” – Dr. Robert Schuller School is just a part of life. It’s just a phase as crucial as it may be, and there’s more learning that will happen once you graduate from your alma matter. Don’t think that it’s the end of the line, because you’re just starting. School may toughen you up, but you need that to survive. So students, keep your chin up because school isn’t the be-all and end-all of your life. The difficulties will pass and you only need to hold on. Be Awesome in the New Year!
