STUDIES ARE IMPORTANT IN OUR LIFE
Study is very precious to everyone's life. All have different meanings and importance of study in their lives. Some think that we study to become successful in our life. Some thinks that it is necessary to study because if we will not study, we will not get good percentage in exams and we will not have a bright future. But i have some different views on the importance of study in our life.
According to me, the real mean of study is "Grab Knowledge". We study to take knowledge about all that we want to know. Knowledge can be increased by studying books, watching educational programs on television, by exploring and by listening to other people. Studying is a very important part of our life because only by studying, we get to know that who we are, how we came here, how we were made, how the whole universe was made,how life begins on earth, about the different species of animals, about the history of past times, about the great heroes of our nation, about the famous writers and their books, about different historical buildings and much more. There is endless list of things that we can know by studying. We can get the answer of our every question by studying various kinds of books.
The right way of studying is to understand everything instead of cramming. Because we are able to remember much by understanding and for a long time rather than by cramming. If we have knowledge, than we are able to give answer of everything.
Everything that we do is meaningless until we don't know that why we're doing it, how is it happening and what we will get by doing so. The famous scientists like Albert Einstein and Thomas Alva Edison had done many inventions and discoveries in their life and changed the world. But how did they do it? Because they were very interested in their particular topic and they also had knowledge about it. But how? By studying. If they can do it, then why can't we?
From this we can conclude that study is a most precious treasure of our life and we should take interest in studying and we should have excitement of studying. One more thing i want to share that if you have ability, knowledge and will power, there is no such power that can stop you to achieve success. At last, i would like to say - Don't study to live, but live to study.
We study to learn something. When we learn something we gain knowledge and we use that knowledge to take an action. That action gives us a chance to impact the world ,to do something meaningful. So if you don't study you will end up being a person with no knowledge hence no action so nobody cares about you and you lose the chance of doing something meaningful.
ou want to hear the truth? here it is - studies are not important and board exams are social foolery. if a marksheet speaks for our ever growing brain and personality, what can be worse?
so what to do? do away with studies?
no!! apart from studies, there is very little mental work that you do (unless you consider the image and sound processing of the brain of the tv as mental work). so studies, no matter how stupidly done in schools, keeps your brain literally alive and pulsating. you know, if i hand you a book of puzzles and tell you to solve some from them everyday as it will increase your thinking capabilities and all that, most probably you will. but the interesting thing is that, your maths book does precisely the same thing to you, but you tend to ignore it every day. thing is that, when we grow up, we have to do something. something to get us the money to feed and live comfortably, to consult doctors, to go on vacations, to buy gadgets, to pay the cable and the internet and electricity and telephone charges, to buy gifts for our loved ones and so on and so forth. in today's world, we need money at every forth step. and we need to work to earn that money. and in most cases, working is possible only with a sound mind. and study keeps your mind sound.
let me draw an allegory. suppose you start exercising to get in shape. as a result, you become stronger and have more energy and vibrancy. you can now do the regular works more easily. but you are not exercising to have more energy or to do the regular works better! but exercising positively affects these other aspects of your life as well. similarly studying (and studying smart) makes you even more smarter. it gives you a feeling of importance, a sense that you are up to something.
again, many eminent personalities had literally no schooling. how did they then manage to get up and shine without the customary keeping-your-brain-alive-thing? you must remember they were exceptionally strong minded people. by strong minded i mean disciplined, determined. Sir Humphrey Davy had no schooling. but by age fifteen he had read more chemistry books than any other student of his age. Edison had no schooling, but he had more work experience by the age thirteen than any of us usually have in a life time. he made the back coach of a deserted train his laboratory by the age of fifteen. Abraham Lincoln had read more classics in his teens than even a literary grad student does. so now you know what kept their brains alive. as long as you are not as confident and as disciplined as them, being a good student and scoring good marks will only help you, not only to keep your brain alive, but also to gain confidence and attain social status. harsh as it may be, but it still remains a fact that in today's world, only two things absolutely count: the first being money and the second being education. also, to answer why you should study, here's the answer that i give to my students: "studying is the easiest and fastest and surest way to success in life". do you get it? of course you can be successful being an artist or a musician or a writer; but that will take time and is usually loaded with challenges. it is never a sure way, your success being determined by a multiple things. being a good student on the other hand will almost inevitably show you the face of at least moderate success. no wonder parents urge us to study so much.
all these that i just stated are good reasons to study. but you know what is the best reason? it gives purpose to your student life. it makes you feel a part of a bigger something. believe me, if you were not fortunate enough to be a student, you would not have been asking me that question now. rather, you would have been looking for any mean to get admitted to a school or college. so my advice to you is that, gear up and study well. all best wishes with you!

Studies is the basis of doing anything else in life. The people who do go through basics of education in their life, suffer later. The basics of knowledge are learnt at school which prepares the students for getting admission into institutes of higher learning. A person can work more better if he has knowledge about the things he is working on. For this reason both the theoretical and practical aspects of education are important in our lives. Knowledge is a life long asset with a person which no one can steal. Your wealth can be stolen but not your knowledge. A knowledgeable person is always respected in the society. You may do business even without an MBA degree. However, the specific subjects taught to you in the MBA course, will lead you to more prosperity in your business by applying those principles learnt by you.
