is study really that important?
and that we don't have to care about our health and everything, but just study, but just work for our future?
what do u guys think

Answer 1

During my finals, I remember times when I used to get so scared and nervous that I found it hard to go to sleep. All the negativity in behaviour added up to nothing. Being extra nervous didn't help me do extra better because I wasted time on those silly emotions. Precious time that I could have spent on resting or studying in a relaxed manner.

My suggestion is to try and study for a period of time (say an hour straight) then take a 10 minute break doing something very different from studies (eg watching a music video or eating and drinking something) then go back to studying after that. Knowledge absorbed while relaxed is stored longer than while stressed, in my opinion.

Studying is important, the correct way. Health is more important because a healthy person can gain more knowledge and retain it for longer (unhealthy people tend to die younger, putting God's will aside that is).

Answer 2

I get this feeling sometimes as well. I think it is just different with different people. Maybe she is just very scared of not succeeding. Just remind her that other people have failed that class and that if she doesn't do well its not the end of the world.

Answer 3

studying is important but it is not everythings, health is important too...without a good health, nothing u can do that we considered as "good"

Answer 4

Nerves can get the better of you.
