You must study instead of reading this but you are
not feeling to study. Actually you want to but not in a mood, right?
Lazy Monday morning and all the legs are busy, running
from one place to another.
One such guy in town, Sushant, the person who used
to fail in his school life, now tops the college. He now represents his college
at a national level and conducts seminars on the subject he gained expertise
in. What made this coin flip all of a sudden?
Sushant while in school was more passionate for
bikes and cars and less in studies. He used to peep inside the bonnet of cars
with the curiosity to see what make that beast work. The moment he sat to
study, he used to drop his head in his head. Once in a blue moon, he used to
study.
Time gushed by like a river and he gradually gained
interest in his subjects and studied more.
It was no longer when he faced a severe irritation
from studying, as if he is allergic to studies. He went out and spent some time
looking at the engine of the car, like he always used to do when he is annoyed.
His father stood beside him. “For so many years, you’ve been just looking to
his engine. Don’t you want to know more about it? Don’t you wanna know how it
works?”
He nodded his head in approval, twisting his lips in
confusion. “I really have no idea what is inside this piece of metal.” Sushant
expressed his confusion to his father, fearing that he will end up getting
annoyed with the thing he loves the most.
His father took him home and asked for his Physics
book. He opened up a page that explained ‘force’. His father explained how ‘force’
played a vital role in engine. Sushant’s faced twitched at first but he slowly
understood. He asked his father, “Okay. I got that. But how do I know how much
force I have to apply to a body? What are the parameters that affect it?”
His father gave him a witty smile and turned a page
where solved numericals were present. He just pointed towards them and Sushant
smiled in satisfaction. He fetched the book from his father’s hand to quench
the thirst of his curiosity. He went to his sister who was studying
physiotherapy in a university. “Hey sis, what’s up!” he shouted in joy. His
sister had a mask of disappointment worn on her face. On being asked, she answered
that she was facing the problem Sushant was facing earlier- frustration due to
lack of concentration. He immediately took her towards the ray of hope and
explained the trick of studying but utmost concentration. He explained her that
he plays football and many times, he suffers from muscle pain. He asked her the
solution to have a relief from that pain. Her sister understood what he meant
to say.
Knowledge we gain is misunderstood to be worthless
until we find a practical application of it. Take any subject that you hate. Find
a practical application of it and you will find it interesting the very next
moment. You can easily climb the ladder if you carry curiosity with you. It is
not your mood that is preventing you from studying but the unwillingness in you
to understand it practically that is annoying you. Try it now, and see the
interest you will gain!
