YOU DISSOVE TO BE A TOPPER! How To Become A Topper
How would you feel after knowing that scoring good marks is quite easy? You might feel shocked and angry because you spent much time on studying hard and now I am just saying that scoring good marks is easy.

But believe me it really easy until you are not committing these mistakes. Yes, you heard it right. The whole game over here is associated with the mistakes I am going to mention in this article.

Before moving further I would highly recommend you to check out our previous blog post where we discussed various ways to become a topper easily.
Now let us come to our topic again and discuss the various mistakes you commit on regular basis without your own intention. We will even discuss their solution in this article. Let's go.
Introduction
See now I want to acknowledge you regarding the good time coming soon in your life. Now your parents instead of scolding you would appreciate you and would be proud of you.

This all will happen only if you stop doing the mistakes we are going to discuss in this article. You can even try out the solutions mentioned if you can't directly stop that habit of mistake.

Now without wasting much time let us start to discuss on these mistakes.
Believing In Motivation
Motivation Isn't Everything This mistake might sound strange and inconvincible yet has a deep meaning behind it. It will surely create a great impact in your life depending upon the way you handled it.

See the thing is many students believe that motivation is a good thing. They believe that they shoudl be motivated all throughout to stay productive.

But there is belive is totally wrong because motivation can't be a permanent feeling. It is just a short term desire to do work by knowing the luxurious and successful life by it.

But this thought of being motivated to do any work should be avoided if you really want to be successful.

Believe me that by leaving this habit of finding motivation, you'll feel more productive and desired to do work. If not then you can try out this solution:

Solution

Self Discipline The solution is simple. Avoid running behind to find motivation to do work. Instead you should built self discipline.

Self discipline is the way of fixing the task you need to accomplish by the day gets over. You need to give priority to important tasks first.

It doesn't requires any sort of motivation and keeps you productive and attached to your work all throughout.

See relying on motivation will give you short term desire to do any work. This way you can only focus on your work till the time you have that motivation.

But in the case of self discipline, in starting though it would be hard but over a period of time when it would become your habit, I assure you would feel more productive to perform any task. This is what the way to success is!
Phones / Screen Time
High Screen Time You might have already guessed that I would be mentioning regarding the usage of smart phones in this article. Well this factor holds a very important impact on your studies or your desire to be a topper.

You might be even scolded by your parents on your high screen time on your mobile phones or laptops. Even in this case they are right but not totally.

See if you are using phones to see those reels or shorts, then its surely a waste of time. Even engaging in any kind of group or getting into a new unwanted hobby like playing games or any sorts of show off is also a waste of time.

I don't think that games are bad. I think you should try them out if you have studied a lot or have done any other sorts of work. I would surely help you to overcome the tiredness or stress but I have a better solution to it which we would discuss afterwards.

Now if you're using phones for understanding any concept of your chapter or for writing notes, then its a good idea and usage of time.

Even seeing educational and current affairs videos is a good way of using phones. Even talking to a person who helps you to reduce you stress is using phones wisely.

Still after knowing phones are not good for building focus and productivity, many of us can't overcome it because of its addiction. Let's discuss the solution for it:

Solution

Use Phones Wisely See the solution is simple and I have even mentioned it in the explanation.

You can yourself figure out which thing is good to be more focused vs the one which is just wasting your time without giving any better outcome.

Even seeing motivational videos on these gadgets isn't a good idea. If you're just watching them but ain't doing any work, then its even more worse.

Even the points I mentioned about playing games, watching educational videos or talking to your friends should be done only after you have completed your important works first.

Study all your concepts first and complete your daily task list. Then you can use these things freely and without leaving any important work to be done.

Even I would recommend you to play physical sports instead of online games and moving out with your friends rather than talking to them online.

This way you can enjoy the current scenario or momment and even reduce your stress and have fun. Try it out!
Going For The Trend
Going According To Trends Is Not Good This mistake also holds a significant position in impacting your studies and result. I think every student engages in this though of looking cool and doing show off in front of everyone.

See everyone wants to be that bright or unique star in front of others. To achieve this, they try out to follow trends according to that time.

This way though they would be in the lime light for sometime but would surely regret afterwards. Doing show off and trying to impress everyone can't be achieved until you have done something extraordinary.

Nothing will going to happen if you are having an iPhone or spending money on things which are of no use to you but is in trend.

This is a clear waste of money as you can't use that money as an asset for your use.

If you're earning on your own and then spending on fashion or expensive items, then you can surely carry it out because till this time you would have understood the value of money and the hard work put behind it.

This way you would spend you money on the things which you can use as an asset and would purchase wisely.

You can't really understand the value of money until you are purchasing these useless items by your parent's money.

Here my main motive is to explain you that don't go according to the trend or in the habit of doing show off. Make a impression by your work rather than the things expensive things you own!

Solution

Now being a student myself, I can understand that its not at all practical and easy to just not follow any fashion.

So here I would like to suggest you to give importance to both of them. Though your work or studies require more priority but that doesn't mean that fashion and your looks don't.

I would recommend you to purchase the things you can use as an asset, a thing which is really useful for you and you can get any sorts of advantage from it.

You can purchase good looking clothes or any digital fitness watches because they are really useful and is required by you.

Useless purchases includes expensive items like chains, lockets or any sorts of things which looks good but isn't useful. Avoid purchasing them.
Relying On Textbooks
Studying From Other Books This mistake is a bit differnt from the three mentioned above but has equal impact on your studies.

From this mistake, I want to prepare you for the exams wisely. It is what toppers actually do something extraordinary which makes them being ahead of everyone.

See studying from your textbooks is surely good but only studying from your textbooks is a bad idea.

Try to get some additional knowledge related to that topic. Even sometimes you don't understand a particular topic, then in that case you can use a refresher which explains the same topic in easy language.

Here my main motive is to just recommend you to use other books as well. Let's discuss what additional we can checkout in other books in solution part:

Solution

I would suggest you the use of other books of your syllabus, the one not used by your school for study purpose.

You can get very important additional understanding of concepts in those books which would come in your exmas.

Moreover, there are certain books which explains the concept in a very simple language, books providing short summary or quick notes and books providing various questions with their solutions which might come in your exams.

So here my main motive is to acknowledge you to rely on other books too along with your main textbooks.
Conclusion
These were the major common mistakes followed by most of the students which leads to their bad result.

After discontinuing them, I can assure that you would feel more focused and productive on your work and would definitely score good marks.

That's all for today's article and I hope it really helped you and was informative. Thanks for Reading!
