We have seen lots of books, websites and other
materials illustrating the best ways to get what we want done. We follow
specific instructions outlined for us by the writer believing that it will help
us achieve the same results as it has, for other people; sometimes it works,
sometimes it does not. For students, we all have our academic capabilities, and
things that can spur us to reach our certain goals. There are different reading
pattern for different people and also other different forms of learning. Some
people assimilate more during the day while others assimilate more during the
night. if in the cause of studies, you
find out that your friend, who assimilates more during the day, passes with good grades and it is like you are not as good as him or her, it does not mean that studying during the day would be the best for you if your ability is not in tune with that. So many people have followed the path of others hoping they will achieve the same success as they.

Before I discovered what worked for me as a student,
I was carried away by the way
my mates study. We never had the same system of
learning. Some of them preferred using diagrams than notes, but I wanted to
have their level of understanding, so I started studying with pictures and
diagrams, not knowing that reading notes was my own way of assimilating. And
with time, the performance I had in class was actually worse than I anticipated
even though we all studied together. So I had to sit down to discover myself to
know what works for me and how to improve on it and I am better for it now.
People were made differently; if you are reading
books and instructions on ways to improve on a certain aspect of your life and
it does not go well as you planned, it should not bother you. Discover
yourself, know your weakness and your strength, know your pros and cons. There
is no one that knows you better than you do. And if you are sincere enough to
admit your weaknesses to yourself, you can definitely know what works for you.
It is not always a good idea to follow the style of others. Create your own
style according to your comfort and abilities.

This is so true! Knowing yourself is the key to it all. You can't get where you need to go in life walking down someone else's path. And so many people are offended when you know yourself and when you don't follow the crowd and do what they do. I have never been one to so quickly and easily follow another and I've gotten in trouble for it. I hear the whispers and gossip behind me but I know that I can't be who God wants me to be following others....He is the master leader and it is only Him that I need to trail behind.
