Why Studying Is Wrong

Where ‘Good’ Students And ‘Average’ Students Differ

Average students regularly have a few options:

  1. Study incredibly hard, suck up to professors to hopefully get average results from school and get a regular bland job that isn’t that rewarding.
  2. Cheat on exams and plagiarize on essays until you get caught, get kicked out of university and become a disgrace to your parents.
  3. Learn how to have a mechanized system in place that will automatically program your mind into thinking and acting so you’ll automatically get top quality marks in a fraction of the time.

I didn’t touch option 2 but I lived option 1 for years in high school and my first few years of university.

I remember one summer thinking enough was enough, I decided to get my act together and get my academic life ‘handled’ once and for all.

After many failures, it took me years to realize that trying to study myself into becoming a better student wasn’t the answer.  Once I learned how to start learning and stop studying my academic life completely changed.

After I unlocked the keys to a 4.0 GPA I realized that I was looking at the ‘good’ students in the wrong way.

I decided to spend part of my undergraduate degree and my graduate degree studying good students and realized that although they were good students they were horrible teachers.

One student would tell me one way of studying and another student would tell me something completely different.

For a guy that was trying to write a thesis on good students… this was incredibly frustrating.

I had an epiphany once I stopped looking at ‘good’ students and instead started looking at students who had huge improvements in short periods of time.
