Every now and then, the expression pops up into my mind and lingers there for a quite amount of time. But soon after, it disappeared leaving no trace of what I have once contemplated on. Thus I wasted many times and my mental faculty as well, at the end of the day, I always ended up with a deep remorse.
Today I went to a library to check out a book for an essay on my graduate program. While searching for the book, strolling around bookshelves, a book caught my attention, "What the best college students do" by Ken Bain. I did not look for this book when I went by the library, but I picked it up without a hesitation. I have just read the index section of this book, and I feel this could be a life-changing book; because I feel I have been sticking to a mediocre way to study, and it will definitely yield an adverse effect.
Let me encapsulate what the book says; by doing so I can reorganize my thinking.
"Scores do not matter." "learning shallowly and strategically will jeopardize you." "there is no limit on your talent" "Think, question, and debate" "Love yourself" "Learn actively, not passively" and "Writing practice will strengthen your communication skill"
I think I already like this book. I remember when I started a good day and was able to think clearly, the day always went great, but it didn't last long. With this book, I want to learn more about me and challenge myself.
