Study hard is great what if u dont need to do the hard things, I like to do things that i love. A the successful people in world don't work hard they work smart and one thing that seperates achievers from loosers is "They love what they do ".

We all want good marks right ?? why what will good marks will get u ? Many academic rewards such as an unquestionable open door to graduate studies, to excellency scholarships and u become hero of class and most important u become star in teacher's eyes ( thus getting very good marks in practicals too :D ) All the honours usually go to the top students, and having good marks is a good way to work up the list.

To score good marks in your exams it is essential that you study hard. It may sound cliched, your friends and family would tell you the same but it is not the whole truth. Many students study hard and yet are not able to get desired scores in their exams. Thats the time where u need not to get demoralised, rather u should try to figure out where u lacked. Your dedication towards work is what matters not the outcome of it. All of the top achievers I know are life-long learners, Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they're not learning, they're not growing... not moving toward excellence.

Though marks are very rewarding thing to cry for but i don’t think marks is only criterea for distinguishing between the two candidates appearing for the same job. Getting good marks without any prior goal or aim in life is useless, in my opinion, creativity, open mind, dedication, self-confidence and personal experiences are much more valuable assets than only academic excellency. If you could spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediatelyonly then u can achieve ur aim or goal.

Most of the time, the efforts are concentrated on the studies, and activities such as volunteering, playing sports, internet and chatting with friends, participating in events or simply doing something from which u get happiness are put aside for the benefit of a few percents on a mark sheet ?? These activities are what make us really develop our creativity, experiences and make us feel really happy, doesn’t the quest for high marks then kill this happiness? Of course, it can be replaced temporarily by the pride of reaching the top 10 in an exam or a course, but I don’t believe it can last as long as discovery of the world or just the simple happiness of having a life outside of the school environment.

Of course, as an average student, I try to stay in the middle, enjoying myself at college, persuing my hobbies ( i like robotics and programming very much and i think i could do something **big** in it :D ) while working hard to deserve the marks that will get me where I want to go and feel proud of myself without any guilt of missing out on anything.
