·       Many people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive faculty of mind, the faculty of discrimination, becomes rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent to others. When we study the four functions of the mind-buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness, ego, the principle of identify, chitta, the storehouse of impressions; and manas, the importer and exporter of sensations and experience- then we become aware of the power of the will. Will power is that something within is that comes forward and says,” Do this. It will be helpful for you.” Training the internal functions helps us to understand the decisive faculty of the mind, without which we cannot e successful
·       Watch what you do on a daily basis. We become what we do and think about. If you think about nothing you will become nothing. If you think about being a great student- you will become a great student. If you think about being honest- you will be honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.

·        Students know they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. They always say,” Well I know it. I understood the key, but I did not act in time.” Through they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the same thing we are. So if we do not decide on time, someone else will attain what we want. Time is valuable in the external world. A tender bamboo can be easily bent, but if we try to bend a mature bamboo, it will break. That which we have to do today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make a wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.
·        We must learn from the success and mistakes of others. When we see another student succeeding greatly and honorably, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after theirs also on the other hand, when you see other students failing miserable, learn how they do it and AVOID doing what they-do or else you will join them in the failure’s club.
·        Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waist valuable time.

Do the math. Even if you’re struggling in math, stay with it. Knowing math gives you options. It opens doors to good jobs in computers, engineering and business. And it helps your mind get organized.

  • ·       Take math problems one step at a time.

  • ·       Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it that much harder.

  • ·       Ask for help and study with friends if you are having problems understanding a concept.

  • ·       The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decision- how to make decisions on time. The most successful person is that person who knows how to decide on time. There are many extraordinarily brilliant people who understand things very quickly, but when the time comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.
