Sifat Siddique
Organising tendency is very important for students to prosper in both education and life. Where there is organization, there is every chance of progressing at a much faster rate than otherwise.
'Ahhh! It's 9 o'clock at last!' Saying this, we jump out of our chair, throwing whatever books we were reading into the already gargantuan mess of copies and books. Everyday we keep on doing this and the more we toss books, the more we actually toss our interests away from study. This is because think like this: in which dining table you would want to dine: in a table with glossy wood, organised cups and plates and steaming food or in a table with ants mingling with leftovers on the top, unwashed glasses and cold, stale food waiting? Think about your reading table likewise. Just the way you want your dining environment to be inviting, fresh and organised so that you can devour satisfactorily, you should also arrange you study materials in the same way to uptake the lessons satisfactorily too. You should always take care of your study materials the way you would have done with your food!
Dumping everything out of school bag on the table can be seriously injurious! Handouts given from school for different syllabuses, test routines, maps and other key notes are usually of single sheet and easily losable. They might get stuck under heavy lab copies or sometimes fly out of your desks and land on the floor for your maid to broom it to the dustbin. And by the time you find that out, it can be your exam next day! You might faint and hence injury to health is a great possiblity! Always arrange your books and copies in such a way that large text books remain at the bottom as they are easily noticeable. Next place the medium sized books and then on the top keep the small grammar and rhymes books. Keep your note copies in a different pile to separate out text books from notes.
Use pen stands even for lead pencils and markers since they easily roll down to floors and get lost. After finishing the lessons, arrange your copies and books and dust off the rubber and sharpener dusts off the table and use a basket to throw them. You can also decorate your table according to your liking with small inspiring tags like 'SAY NO TO DRUGS', 'LIVE STRONG' or 'RISE EARLY' etc., place photo frames, atlases or put dolls of your favorite idols like Popeye, Metallica or The Undertaker! Always hang the test syllabuses and routines somewhere near to be easily scrolled anytime. Use dazzling stickers to highlight important test dates and topics that will not only enchant you but also prevent you from forgetting them!
A good student's greatest impression is his or her table! Tables will always reflect the way you deal with your studies. Getting restless and rummaging through table drawers furiously while you want to help a friend with your notes not only gray your image but also upset your mom and dad who can never want their child to tackle things irresponsibly. Sometimes you might also lose your face in front of your relatives who might occasionally visit your place and find your schooling things in a rather disagreeable manner. And remember! People will always comment about such behavior whether at your front or at your back. So BEWARE!!!!
Every single thing has to be fascinating to a certain extent in order to prolong its attraction. So, make your table a place of ceaseless fascination in order to hold your attraction forever!
