Developing a study habit for success in life

MAKING the study habit effective and enjoyable is very important for every student. Study habit itself is very a labourious task. If it does not bring result and if it is boring, then all labour goes in vain.
Dear students, study the whole week very seriously. You can then enjoy your weekend in your way, keeping yourself aloof from studies. It's alright if you don't study at the weekend since you will be studying during weekdays very hard. And you deserve to enjoy your weekend. Don't even remember about studies for that one day of your weekend. When you will come back to the table, you will feel like you are going to study after long hours. This will give you a good feeling.
Dr. Mohammad Shahidullah, famous linguist of the country, used to study for 16 hours at least when he was very old. Why not students, at young age, can study for such long hours? If not for such long hour, why not at least 10 hours a day? Study is all a matter of habit. Just grow it as a habit.
Study is also a matter of 'association'. You also discuss with your classmate(s) in person or over phone or through internet. Like 'what have you studied today at morning?" "Oh, really, I studied this and planning to study 'that' in the afternoon"- this kind of conversation also helps.
Start loving the books. See, everyone can leave you on this earth, but books won't!
If you cannot love books, pretend like you are loving books. That will help.
It is important that you estimate everyday's study hour. Keep a record. Try to break your own past record. What can be more enjoyable than competing with your past performance?
Think about your past successes. You can make things happen. Have confidence. Visualise your upcoming moments of success. You are doing good in the exams. Everyone is congratulating you. You are getting offers of good jobs from reputed organisations.
Please do revise almost everything that you have studied whole day at the end of the day. We tend to forget things 12 hours after learning anything.
Please revise every week's study at the end of the week. You will see you are enjoying your texts.
Please also write in your scripts, say what you have learned from books. The whole day can be spent in this way: reading and writing, writing and reading.
In the ways mentioned above, make a rhythm of your own study habit. It you can make your study habit effective and enjoyable, you will surely succeed in life.
