Zuckerberg and you so what do these
people have in common well I guess they
have many things in common but today
I’ll be talking about how good they are
at studying you are so good at how many
times have you heard and said this in
your life how do you mean it how do you
interpret it well many people tell me
that I’m good at studying and for very
reasons some say that this is because
I’m good at I’m good at getting good
test results and some say that this is
because I’m Asian and I’m sure
stereotypically funny sight to see an
Asian tell you that you’re all capable
of being good at studying but I’m here
to tell you what studying really is so
when a person makes a statement there’s
always a meaning behind it and the
person who receives it interprets it
difference the initial meaning or not
and this is similar to how he interprets
and say the word studying we have been
told to think that studying is the
process of gaining knowledge for
academic purposes in educational
facilities and many of us believe that
this is true however if we search up the
definition of studying on the internet
it is it is the act of devoting time and
attention to acquiring knowledge or
investigating and analyzing a subject or
situation in detail so here’s the big
question
since when did academics start coming
into this why are we only looking at
studying as a way of gaining knowledge
through writing tests or making notes
studying can be anything from surfing
bungee jumping and paragliding so
watching film
reading novels and dancing if we take
the denotation that studying is the act
of devoting time and attention to
acquiring knowledge it means that
technically we have the potential to
study in every moment of our lives frame
the concept this way who knows the
outfit who has seen a tree grow who
knows how to get to the IT Center so
quite simply and some way or another
we’ve acquired information on how to do
these things or what they are
and so my point is proving you’re
studying in every second in your life
whether you like it or not studying is
endless and this never there’s no end to
studying how and this is what one is
doing in their lives
but if this is what everyone is doing
how do we dean someone to be better than
another this is like saying one is
better at relaxing or having fun but
here’s the biggest question how do we
quantify you village someone’s ability
to study the statements you are very
good at that studying seems to measure
your ability to study to a certain set
of standards stunning doesn’t
necessarily have to be grass being a
topic in math very or literature novels
for your syllabus so as I thought more
deeply about this race it wasn’t
technically wrong what was wrong about
it was how people perceived and saw it
you can say that you’re good studying
only that people mean to say you’re
really competent or good at what you do
certainly when you V it this way you can
always have different degrees of levels
and study so let us go back to why we
have those different degrees I refer
this to the equation of study passion
plus consistency plus efforts plus calm
confidence plus limits give you good at
study
I good at laugh good at listening good
at lovey good at anything let us compare
this equation to a car and let’s say
you’re the basic frame of it but we
cannot simply drive as the basic frame
of car to destination camera now we need
the other parts passion can be said to
be one of your most crucial foundations
to study and I’d say it’s the feel the
more you have the farther you can go you
can usually see how significant passion
is when you compare your grades at the
end of the term
one of my favorite subjects is English
and my least favorite is physics and not
surprisingly I must receive rather
appropriate test results for English
however for every test and exam I’ve
done the results were not as fantastic
as all my classmates expected them to be
in physics and the reason behind this is
quite simple it’s the passion that
drives you to work for things and yes
many of us have the same experiences in
different fields
now that demonstrated how important
passion can be let us move on to
consistency and we if we went back to
the car analogy I would tell you that
your consistency is your break and your
accelerator let me tell you a little
story about this so once upon time there
was a guy named John who needed to go to
Johannesburg so he left off and on his
way he drove for three hours straight at
a speed of 100 km/h he stopped at the
border and later on he decided he wanted
a snack so he went to the gas station
for it another 15 minutes down the line
he decided he really needed a bathroom
break so he went for it
he went for another bathroom break
another refuelling stop and another
snack break and later on he decided he
needed another nap and so in the end he
took a lot of time to get to
Johannesburg than he intended so the
point of this repetitive story is
Jonah was quite inconsistent with his
initial goal to go to Johanna and thus
took a longer period of time
in his journey but I’m not standing here
to tell you that John should not rest at
all while he gets there or that you
should not rest while you study
I’m telling you never stop making
progress make whatever amount of
progress great and small it still means
progress and so now that I’ve
demonstrated how important consistency
is we have our great break accelerator
and fuel we need an engine and so this
is your efforts just like your engine
you should be doing most of the work and
passion and efforts are like two
complementary Goods two products that
should not sell without the other you
cannot have a car with an engine and no
fuel and no no engine but fuel your
efforts won’t leave a blissful section
of the journey however it’s very
necessary and just because you have a
burning passion and ambition for one
thing it doesn’t mean that it’s going to
get you to where you want to go you need
to be able to manage your effort your
passion as the f-m pizzas to your effort
to get where you want to go
however it’s also extremely important to
maintain the temperature of your engine
if it overheats too much from driving
let it cool and if it’s too cold yet
better get the engine to start up now
that I’ve mentioned the efforts with it
which is your engine your passion which
is your fuel on your consistency which
is your accelerator and your brake we
need to modify our views of the car
analogy
so what’s amount all cars is the most
valued I’d say it’s the brand name if
you were a card would you rather be a
Porsche or a secondhand theatre so as
much confidence as much respect status
and envy you receive when you drive a
BMW your confidence and what you can do
what in your skill and what you do can
determine how good you can be at it
so a social experiment that proves us
was carried out in an elementary class
where the assent of students holding
very similar academic capabilities were
given to some teachers the teachers were
then asked to decide the teachers were
then asked to decide who they trusted
him and who they didn’t and just like
their trust levels their academic
results drastically split those who they
trusted him had turned out to have
higher academic scores for a longer
period of time however those who didn’t
turned out turned out to have lower
scores and so you need to be confident
in what you can be and you need to be
able to think that you are capable of
earning that much respect and status in
your field that you choose to do that
confidence is a very naive element but
it proves to be quite heavy what it can
influence but I have to say confidence
is son isn’t such an easy sector when
you define confidence as arrogance
here’s the most simplest and crucial
definition if you believe that you’ll
most certainly excel in one thing but
you put no efforts in it you’re full of
arrogance rather than confidence so now
as you know the definition you’re more
than capable of achieving colton’s than
arrogance and lastly loads in our
equation is our destination the
destination is actually something out of
the car but something crucial when
you’re driving to specific plates
because without it you have nowhere to
go if you do not see your limits or your
full potential you’re unable to
challenge yourself therefore quite lost
and wandering in circles limits are
something that you don’t actually have
limits are something that you decide if
you see it in another perspective you
decide where you want to go and frankly
speaking as long as you have enough fuel
to get there you will always get there
so set yourself your own limits venture
into whatever and wherever you can do
and go – have you ever seen a car that
has
specific destination that it can go to
know and so get to your destination and
when you want to move further or go
somewhere else do so but you’re fine
your initial limit that you set is not
your final one now we have the completes
equation to study now I can tell you I’m
good at studying and this is not because
I’m Asian or I get good test results I’m
good at laughing I’m good at talking I’m
good at loving I’m good at studying now
I can tell you that you’re all good at
studying that list I gave you at first
holds everyone in here you can never be
measured against a certain set of
standards because you were competent in
your own way but if you currently think
you do not have a thing that you want to
do or be good at think of it as a hard
multiple-choice question lies the test
and what see and choose to be is just
another question in there so similar to
your tests don’t give up don’t leave the
question unanswered look at it again
think once more and hold on you never
really have a set of right and wrong in
these in this test but there’s always a
set of answers that belong to you give
it your all take baby steps apply the
equation you’ll get there and sometimes
when you simply don’t know take a smart
gamble you never know if that’s the
right answer
