How to study effectively?

How to study effectively?

First of all, i will need everyone to think like this. Our brain is like a glass. If it brokes, we die. And when we are borned to the world, the glass is empty because we are still baby and we don't have any knowledge at all. Soon, the glass will be filled of different kind of water, which means, different kind of knowledge.

Imagine our brain as many glass, because we have many part in our brain. Different kind of water goes to different glass. Which means, different kind of knowledge goes to different part of the brain. Goes back to how to study effectively. The easiest time to remember something is when teacher/lecturer/professor are teaching. However, many people failed to do this because somethings are going wrong. So what is going wrong?

Think back when we are at primary school or even kindergarten. Why we can remember easily what teacher teach. Like A, B, C or 1, 2, 3. Because at that time, the glass is empty and it is able to receive anything. By the time we grow up, or when we are at secondary school, it is very hard to remember what teacher said. The main problem is because the knowledge is different with what we had learnt before. In other words, if we use the glass as example, the glass had been filled with some water(some knowledge) and if a new water(new knowledge) is stored in it, it will not blend well and somehow it might repel it.

If you had read until here, i suppose you know what to do. Empty the glass first before you start listening to what teachers are going to teach. Be as innocent as possible when you are listening. Don't think you are good or better than the teacher. Be as stupid as possible. If you don't understand some little thing, just ask. I think a teacher would like to be asked with a lot of question. The more question you ask, the happier the teacher is because he/she knows that you are trying to learn more.

There are still a lot of things need to be considered in order to study effectively. Like
  1. Eat something before start study. But don't eat too much. (I always eat too much before start, which make me sleepy even in the morning)
  2. It is the best if you could do some exercise before you start studying. Fresh oxygen is needed for your brain. (The chinese girl who got 16A1 in SPM also do exercise every morning)
  3. If you are studying yourself or doing revision, don't do it more than 2 hours. Take a break after 2 hours. (Actually, i can only concentrate on something for half hour except doing programming work)
  4. Get more opinion or advise from teacher, lecturer or friends because one person point of view is very narrow.
  5. Social with friends can increase self esteem and also your confident.
  6. Get a strong hold in your religion. Always pray.
I am not a professor or master in psychologist but this is only my opinion. You can use my opinion as a guide or reference but please don't blame me if something bad happened when you use these method.
