Study Hard AND Study Smart
Do you know what makes someone successful?
Do you ?
Three things
Three things will make you successful
A continuous interest in improving yourself
Being self-aware
And work
And I mean lots of it
Improve yourself
Improve yourself continously
Never stop developing yourself
Develop a passion for improving yourself
Develop a passion for learning
Improving yourself begins right where you are
Yes, improving yourself starts with an education
Improving yourself starts with school
You did not come to school to slack off
You did not come to fail
Instead you came to learn
To learn how to be great
To be the best leader
To be the best academic, to be the best at whatever you wanna do
Don't let your friends deter you
Don't let friends distract you
Develop yourself
Show them that there is better
Show them that you're different
Improve yourself, study hard, study long, give it your all, give it everything you got
Successful people don't get to where they are by following their friends or pleasing them
Instead they lead, they lead and committed themselves to self-development
They exercise their mind
They learned, they studied, they passed their exams
No body will do it for you
Only you can do it for yourself
Only you can put in the work
If you're not prepared, if you do not work, you will lose
You will never win
You will always be behind
and you will never be great
To be successful at anything
you have to get to know yourself
you have to know who you are
you have to know what your strengths are
you have to know what your weaknesses are
you have to get to know what you like
what you don't like, what you're good at, and what you're not good at
What your learning styles are, where you study best
Learning about yourself will build your confidence
It will change your behaviour
Studying will become easier
Passing your exams will become easier, it will get you places where you've never gone before
Getting to those places and staying there will take determination
it will require that you never give up
Never give up on your dreams
never give up on your goals
life will throw things at you, teachers will throw exams at you
No one promised that life will be easy
What is promised is that you can do it
You can do it
You can win
You can pass your exams
You can be the best, you can achieve your goals
You can become whatever you desire to become
But you have to be determined
You have to want it bad
You have to want it so bad that you will never give up
You have to want it so bad that you're willing to lose sleep for it
You have to want it so bad that you're willing to lose friends over it
You have to want it so bad that you're willing to work hard for it
And never, ever, give up
Giving up is not an option
If you can dream it you can do it, if you can think it you can do it
Just believe in yourself
Believe in your dreams, and fight for it
Tell yourself that you are in it to win it
Tell yourself that you will continue trying
You will continue trying even if you fail
And when you fail, you get up and brush yourself off and try again
You will continue even if you're laughed at
You will continue even if you lose
because guess what
Life is not always about where you end up
It's about the journey
It's about the attitude
It's about the determination
It's about never giving up
