General Hints

• Take up first the subject you most dislike or feel hard; once you have done this rest of your work will be easy.
• Do not hesitate to ask your teacher or your clever companions things you do not grasp clearly. Never leave difficulties unanswered as this will put you into great difficulty later. To make sure that you have understood something thoroughly use these ”tricks”
  a) Pretend that you are explaining the lesson to another; see if you can do it well.
  b) Make yourself your own teacher and question yourself and answer honestly (don’t cheat !)
• Do not continue working when you are tired; walk around the garden or talk to a friend or have some other pleasant interruption, but only long enough to refresh you to finish lessons and don’t indulge in waste of time.
• Get enough exercise everyday; it keeps the mind fresh and the body healthy.
• Do not cut down necessary sleep in order to study; it will hurt you later on.
• One should not get into disputes and conflicts and unhealthy friendships .Such things will vitiate your mind from studies.
• Do not get addicted to Mobile soft wares like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter etc.
• Do not brood over the past failures or of things you could not do but look forward to the manifold opportunities that lie ahead.
• Lastly, but most importantly pray often to the All-wise and All knowing God to help you make progress in your studies.
