Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 56: Attitude Determines Your Score (2)
Moissan, a famous French chemist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, once said: "When we study, we should not stop at the achievements we have already made. After reaching one goal, we should continue to move forward to another goal without stopping. A man should always set a goal for himself, only in this way will he feel that he is a real person, and only in this way can he keep moving forward."

In learning, if we are too satisfied, we will never stop like the chicken in the following story.

On the first warm day of spring after the severe winter, the eagle soars in the sky.When passing through a mountainous area, it saw a mother chicken leading her children to bask in the sun leisurely, so it flew over, landed on the nearest branch, and asked, "Mother chicken, you also have wings, why do you have wings?" Can't fly in the sky like your ancestors? The sky is very happy!"

"Oh! Thank you!" said the mother hen to the eagle, turning to look at her chicks. "Look, I have so many babies to look after, and I don't have time! Let them fly when they grow up. Alas!" ! There is no hope in my life!"

The eagle had to fly away.

In the spring of the second year, when the eagle flew over the mountains again, he found a big flower chicken leading its children for a walk. The big flower chicken was a daughter of the chicken mother that the eagle saw last year, and now it grows up. big.

The eagle flew to its side and asked: "Da Huaji, you also have wings, why can't you fly in the sky like your ancestors? The sky is very happy!"

"Thank you!" Da Huaji replied, "Look, I'm too old to fly, I'd better let my children fly when they grow up! Alas! My life is hopeless!"

The eagle had to fly away.

In the third year, when the eagle passed through the mountains, it still saw a mother hen leading her chicks to look for food on the hillside, but it did not fly down this time.

God gave chickens and eagles the same wings, let them enjoy the sky.However, chickens only know how to forage nearby, and their eyes are only satisfied with the ground in front of them, degrading the beautiful wings that fight the sky into a kind of decoration.The reason is that they are too easy to satisfy.In terms of academics, we cannot be satisfied with what we have learned so far like chickens, and we must give ourselves a space to seek knowledge.Never be satisfied with the existing answers, dig farther and deeper, and keep looking for the best answers, in order to go further.

Many people know that climbing high and looking far, the sky is high and the earth is wide, but most people realistically set their goals halfway up the mountain, and a little satisfaction can stop them from moving forward.To be successful, the goal must be at the top.

Top students will not boast because they have a little knowledge, and they will be complacent with a little achievement.Learning is never-ending, dissatisfaction is an upward wheel.Top students are always looking for the best answers, they are always on the road of learning.

It is precisely because many students are unable to recognize the height of learning due to inertia or psychological immaturity, and they are prone to complacency.Such emotions can hold us back and miss out on top students academically.So how should we avoid this kind of emotion?

(1) Take a closer look at the students around you.Communicate with them often, and you will find the gap with them, so that you can motivate yourself to learn more knowledge and gain an advantage in the competition.

(2) See more of the outside world.We can't be a frog at the bottom of a well and only see a piece of sky above our heads. We must know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.Don’t think that if you are at the top of your class, you have a chance to win. The high school and college entrance examinations are district-wide and national selections. The important thing is to compare with outstanding students in a wide range, not just surpassing a few classmates in your class or school. , so that there will be a kind of pressure, and complacency will naturally disappear.

"Lame" can take the 17th test: it's not that you are too stupid, but that you don't work hard

"There is a girl in our class who scored 45 points in the math test, but her total score is in the top 20."

"amazing!"

"But she is always depressed. She always feels that her teachers look down on her and her classmates are laughing at her. In fact, she is very strong in other subjects except mathematics, but mathematics is too weak. Her parents have found a lot of tutors for her, but None of it worked. This time it was the maths that was holding me back. I don't know how to talk her out of it."

"Her math problems are not intellectual, but psychological, so solving her psychological problems is much more important than solving her performance problems. What is her ranking in the class this time?

"No. 17."

The teacher laughed as soon as he heard it: "Ah, she is really good! It's easy to handle. When you see her, you praise her for her great potential. She scored 45 points in math and ranked 17th in the class in total! Her potential is really too great. Originally, her other grades were excellent, but if her math grades improved again, she would be number one, wouldn't this become one of her strengths!"

After listening to the teacher's words, the girl's friend decided to encourage her in this way.

In fact, the girl was dragged down by her math grades, and it was inevitable that she would be sad.At this time, you must learn to find the correct reason. Only in this way can you improve your grades.This enlightenment to all of us is: we must develop the habit of finding the correct attribution in learning, so as to help improve academic performance.

Students with poor academic performance often attribute their academic failures to their stupid brains and poor intelligence, etc. This kind of view makes them feel that their abilities are limited and they can only reach that level. It makes no difference whether they work hard or not, and gradually become discouraged , lack of resilience to learning tasks, especially in the face of difficulties, and lose self-confidence.Over time, even if they are in a backward state, they feel at ease and are content with the status quo.They are content with the misunderstanding of not being smart enough, and they are unwilling to seriously think about how to change the status quo and how to strive for the upper hand.

On the contrary, top students attribute their academic achievements to the results of their own efforts.This kind of correct attribution makes the top students' confidence stronger and stronger, and they will work harder, achieve better results, and enter a virtuous circle.

Generally speaking, the reasons for the success or failure of learning can be classified into two categories: external factors and internal factors.External factors include objective conditions such as opportunities, family, parents, teaching materials, and teachers, while internal factors include subjective conditions such as ability, effort, strategy choice, emotion, motivation, personality, and psychological state.Attribution can also be divided into stable attribution and unstable attribution.Stable attribution refers to attributing factors that lead to success or failure to relatively constant and uncontrollable factors, such as internal ability, temperament, external family and environmental conditions, and knowledge difficulty, etc. Unstable attribution refers to attributing factors that lead to success or failure to easy Variable and controllable factors, such as internal efforts, strategic choices, emotional and psychological states, and external opportunities.

Generally speaking, learning correct attribution is to conduct a comprehensive and realistic analysis of the reasons for success or failure, clarify the actual effects of internal and external factors, summarize the real reasons for success or failure, and take correct countermeasures on this basis to achieve success, rather than one-sidedness It is not conducive to overcoming setbacks, and it is easy to fail.

People who attribute their success to their own ability and hard work can have higher self-esteem and pride than those who attribute their success externally (such as the difficulty of the task, the quality of luck, whether there is help from others, etc.), And they tend to develop higher achievement motivation and put in more effort.People who often attribute the results of activities to chance, luck, or unstable external factors, as time goes by, are unwilling to pay too much energy and make greater efforts in learning, and their motivation to learn will also decrease. gradually weakened.

Maybe the difference between you and the top student is just that you and he attribute the results differently, and there is no difference in your intelligence.Therefore, don't underestimate yourself, don't overestimate the talents of others, don't lose confidence, and don't demean yourself.Adhere to "you can do it, others can do it, and I can do it too", and give full play to your wisdom and potential, and your academic performance will also reach a new level.

In life, we must develop the good habit of correct attribution, so that we can recognize the true colors of things and form a correct world view.The same is true for learning. Developing the correct attribution habit will make learning to a higher level.

(1) When academic performance is not good, we must find out the root cause.For example, if you fail an exam, it may be because you did not have a good rest the night before, or it may be because you were too nervous during the exam.If you still make mistakes when you retake the test paper after the test, it must be because the knowledge is not strong.We must have the courage to admit this fact.

(2) Be good at communicating with teachers and classmates.When you have difficulty in mastering certain knowledge, you should communicate with your teachers and classmates, and don't be ashamed to speak out because you are afraid that others will say you are stupid.When you say it, it may attract the attention of the teacher and classmates. It may be the key points that the teacher missed during the lecture, or the knowledge points that the students did not master. In this way, your frustration will be reduced. Be happy with good questions, and let yourself devote yourself to learning in a happy mood.Even if the question you asked is very simple, there is no need to regret it. After all, you have mastered it through communication and learning, and this is the harvest.

Liu Xiang Returns——Learn to be self-motivated through learning

Liu Xiang made a perfect comeback with a time of 13 seconds in the Shanghai Athletics Grand Prix, but he still missed the championship, which was taken away by Trammel.Where did Liu Xiang achieve his first comeback crown?The 15-meter hurdles final of the Shandong National Games gave the answer. Liu Xiang won the first championship after his comeback in 110 seconds, and the king really returned.

At the National Games, Liu Xiang won the first gold medal for the Shanghai delegation in track and field. The National Games, track and field events, and the 3-meter hurdles are all difficult tasks, and Liu Xiang did it.When Liu Xiang was injured in the Beijing Olympics, many people were speculating whether Liu Xiang would never recover, or even retire, but the facts speak louder than words. Liu Xiang continued to run, and he still wanted to create new glories.

Liu Xiang broke through the pressure of the media and public opinion. After more than 400 days and nights, he finally made a brilliant comeback. It was full of hardships, which was his self-motivated success.In the face of foot injuries and difficult training, he often encourages himself: "I am still young, and I have opportunities when I am young." In fact, there is a desire for motivation in everyone's heart. Only motivation can arouse people's passion and enthusiasm. enthusiasm.If a person is excellent in many aspects and good at self-motivation, then his success rate will be much higher than others.Therefore, we must develop a good habit of being good at self-motivation, which will inject a steady stream of strength into our learning and make us excellent.

Learning is your own business, and all difficulties must be overcome by yourself.If you are not good at motivating yourself and your psychological quality is not good enough, it will be difficult to pass the final test.In fact, we all have the ability to motivate ourselves to do better than we did yesterday.We are capable of dealing with fierce competition.Each of us has our own value, and it will not be slightly diminished because you have endured difficult trials.All you need to do is to become stronger in the face of difficulties, and you have to believe in your own worth.

At a symposium, a well-known speaker did not say an opening remark, but held up a $100 bill in his hand, and facing 200 people in the conference room, he asked, "Who wants this $100?" Only one hand was raised.He went on to say, "I'm going to give this $100 to one of you, but before that, allow me to do one thing." He crumpled up the bills and asked, "Who wants more? "Someone still raised their hand.He also said: "So, what if I do this?" He threw the banknotes on the ground, stepped on another foot, and walked on it with his feet.Then he picked up the banknotes, which were dirty and wrinkled. "Who wants it now?" Some people still raised their hands. "My friends, you have learned a great lesson. No matter what I do with this bill, you still want it, because it has not depreciated, it is still worth $100. In life, we will be beaten by ourselves countless times. Decisions or adversity that bully, knock you down, or even crush you to pieces can make us feel as if we are worthless. In fact, no matter what has happened, or will happen, you will never lose your worth in the eyes of God. Dirty or clean, well-dressed or disheveled, you are priceless to him."

We still have a long way to go in life, no matter in life or in study, we will encounter many difficulties, as long as we continue to absorb the experience of failure and encourage ourselves, we will eventually reach the other side of success.

Self-motivation will help us overcome difficulties and achieve excellent results.So how do we motivate ourselves?

1. Motivate yourself in time

A person's potential energy is huge, as long as he can get his own affirmation in time, it is possible to gather strength to do things.As long as you encourage yourself at the right time and let yourself have a good sense of self, self-motivation will arise.

2. Praise yourself
Parents or teachers can now praise us from morning to night and make us proud, but sooner or later we always have to rely on our inner motivation to move forward.

3. Set goals
There is such a proverb: "A definite goal is half the battle." Only when a person has a definite goal and a direction of struggle can he not lose himself.A person who is good at self-motivation must have his own goals, and he will keep moving towards his goals.

4. Take the first step

Everything is difficult at the beginning. When we do things, we often talk more and do less. At this time, we must try to take the first brave step.No matter how difficult the first step is, the action does not begin until the first step is taken.
