Spread your time between all subjects every day

FE Special
THE success of a student depends on how much alert and hard-working he or she has been throughout the semester/year. Just like a warrior has to be careful in the battle field, a student needs to be very careful throughout the semester/year so that every opportunity and every day is utilised. He or she needs to ensure maximum utilisation of the day if he or she wants to learn very well and perform similarly in the exam.
It is very common to see that students read a text for a few days and do not even open the other texts. While such a habit may help them focus on a particular subject, this also has some big disadvantages. For being completely detached from other books, they may lose interest about other subjects and may also forget many lessons from the other texts.
It should be wise for students to read all the books everyday. How is that possible? By reading all the books I do not mean spending equal time for every subject. The particular student will decide about the allocation of time of various subjects. For one particular subject, he or she might allocate 2 hours, for another subject he might allocate 10 minutes, or even 5 minutes. Within the five minutes or ten minutes, he may open the book and revise what he or she has read. Also he may think about the subject-about his progress, about which notes to collect etc., about who to go to for understanding difficult part of the book and as such.
In order to read all the books everyday, students must set priorities. They must know which subject deserve much time and for which subjects spending little time will do. They can plan about this priority on the previous day so that they can best utilise the current day.
If students can, in the above way, read all the books everyday, they will surely not be 'very weak' in any subject. They will slowly grow minimum knowledge on all the subjects. They will also be confident about all the courses/books. This confidence will inspire them to study more seriously.
Since in the academic institution, almost all the course are taught everyday, students also need to work on all the courses regularly. For example, if a school student studies mathematics only at home for ten days and do not open the other books, he or she might be less interested in the classroom learning of other subjects. If the student reads all the books everyday, allocating time for different subject according to the need, he or she will be interested in the classroom discussions of any subject.
If a student has ten courses/books, he or she may think he or she has planted ten trees in the garden. Now throughout the semester he or she needs to take care of every tree regularly. If a tree is not taken care of for seven days, the growth of the tree will be affected. Similarly if a book is not read for seven days, the knowledge about the book will not be rich enough. So there is no alternative but to be connected with every text book regularly.
