Perceptions:
Good and bad, useful and useless, interesting and boring, vivid and dull has nothing to do with the subject or the situation you are in. All that we feel is the play of perceptions. What we perceive good may be perceived as bad for someone else. And these perceptions, as many may feel, are not hardwired and can, instead be changed, in a way that is productive to use.
Problem with the wrong or unfruitful perceptions:
When you have been asked to do a job, say, to prepare a document that has nothing to do with you, and of course not a regular job for you, you feel disgruntled. Instead, think of it this way, ‘hey, I got an opportunity to learn something new, which I do not do often, so, let us give it a try, being poised.’ That is how you have to think. After all, if not to learn about things, what else is the life for?’ And once you feel a positive urge, you will see things dramatically changed, for good, and outcome, grand.
What as a student, you can do, to make your days, count?
When I speak of this, I say about what I did, and currently doing. Time is a very valuable, limited asset, equally shared among all of us. What defines us is how we utilize that time. When you are in a class, however boring it may seem, try to gather all of your energy to focus on what is being said. Remember one thing ‘WHATEVER WE ARE LEARNING IS HOW THINGS WORK’. And once you are into it, you will definitely want to learn more and more, not to gain marks, but just out of pure interest to know more about them and you will, one time, think for yourself, of ‘how to improve this thing, so that it can be used like this’, and that is when you feel the laurels of knowledge, by watching others using your work.
And if you feel something difficult, think like this ‘I should not feel it difficult, as I am not learning about the working of some alien world, I am learning about my world, its technology, which is created by humans, who are much like the same way as I am, and If they can do it, why cannot I?’ and this should trigger the underlying knowledge seeker in you, in short, a student in you.
Gaining more knowledge makes you feel more confident, less dependent and will change the way you think, drastically, in a good way. No longer you think about your placements, and what you might be doing after a given amount of time. You get the confidence that you can convince anyone in the group discussion, because you now know more things. As I say, perceive in a positive way and you then really enjoy doing it.
So, wish you a good luck for your future.
