Why should I Study
That’s the one question every student of every generation has raised, so do I.
As others, I have always wonder what could be the right answer or at least a satisfactory answer to it. Hence, I approach my parents, friends, mentors and also research on internet, and observed a common answer “Study will make my life”, remember famous lines “Padhega India, tabhi to badhega India”, “padega likhega to banega nawab”, I am sure that you all will get same response but it is so.
However, luckily one of my mentor sound differently by asking me to “define Study”. I paused and replied, “I guess it’s a process of learning”, he said great and our conversation begin
My Mentor: process of learning... only learning
My Reply: Hmm! it also involves understanding of concepts
My Mentor: Therefore, can we say that, while studying, we understand and learn different thing
My Reply: Ya, I mean yes
My Mentor: good… so what all task we generally perform to understand and learn
My Reply: we read books… we write answers… we speak answers…
My Mentor: do we also listen to educators... see images/videos ... perform lab exercises…
My Reply: yes we do
My Mentor: we read, write, speak, listen, see and perform while studying, it help us to
My Reply: to understand… to learn… and to remember…
My Mentor: perfect… why do we need to remember?
My Reply: to write correct answers and score more in exams
My Mentor: okay, correct answers… score more… can we say to perform better
My Reply: okay, ya
My Mentor: so can we conclude by saying that “Study is a process of reading, writing, speaking, listening, seeing and performing to understand, learn and recall(remember) so that we can implement things(answers) in an optimal or better manner”
My Reply: yes
My Mentor: Does dancing involved same action plan, can you think of more such task
My Reply: to dance… yes we need to understand music, learn steps and remember to perform better, other task like to play a game, to drive a car, to sing a song, to travel, OMG all the task
My Mentor: Yes! All the task we do involves study involves understanding, learning and recall…
