Studying Mojo

So so so its time for one of my weird philosophies. ( I have lots of them.)

Picture this. YOu have a set of teeth. Every morning and every night (or most nights, I imagine) you brush automatically without giving much thought about it. Two important factors contribute to how clean your teeth becomes: The act of brushing, and the toothpaste.

With very good toothpaste, the act of brushing need not be very hard as the combination will give you clean teeth. As such, you can also say the same the other way around: with a good brushing technique, even the lousiest toothpaste can be used to make your teeth pearly white every morning.

Now replace the whole thing with studying: The toothbrush is you studying, and the toothpaste is the additional help you get such as good textbooks, good lecturers, good tutors.

See, no matter how good the toothpaste is, its useless if there is no toothbrush doing any action. Likewise, you can have the best tutors and lectueres. But it still won't matter when you're not trying hard enough to make it work. And, if you'd realise, you can still brush your teeth without any toothpaste and still keep em clean (what I meant to say is, you can still score good grades even without good aid).

SO! This time around. No matter how crappy my lecturers and/or tutors are, I will work with them and acquire all the knowledge and skills i need not only to pass this time around but to survive the dunia anjing-makan-anjing. (dog-eat-dog world)

Hopefully this metaphore has inspired you somewhat to do better in your studies
