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

Chapter 63 The Seventh Step of Efficient Study—Smiling Proudly in the Exam Room (2)
The process of cultivating self-confidence and constantly striving for success is also a process of striving to overcome failure.In this sense, there is no success without failure.When Tsiolkovsky, the "father of rockets" of the Soviet Union, led the development of the first strategic missile, a scientific and technical personnel once told him in frustration that a thousand tests had been done to solve a certain technical difficulty, but all failed. Failed.But he said kindly: "In fact, your research is very great. You have found that there are a thousand methods that cannot be used." Someone asked him how he felt about it, and he said humorously: "These rejection letters are my most valuable acquisition. It tells me that I am not qualified to be a writer and needs more practice." In the study, there will always be many difficulties and setbacks, such as not being able to do a math problem, not being able to keep up with the teacher's lecture progress, failing in exams, etc., but as long as we treat it correctly and have confidence in ourselves, these can be overcome of.

attitude decides everything!What kind of attitude you have will have what kind of academic performance and what kind of life you will have.

There is a big difference between two people with similar abilities, whether they have self-confidence or not.People who lose confidence are listless in everything they do and cannot see their own advantages. If things go on like this, their academic performance will decline, and they will always hide in the shadow of inferiority complex.People who are full of self-confidence always live and study with an optimistic attitude, and believe that they can do well, and their road will become wider and wider.

In learning, how should we build self-confidence?

First, make a correct and objective assessment of your own level and set appropriate expectations.

Generally speaking, before the exam, the knowledge has been input into one's brain through review, which roughly determines the level of the level. It is impossible to really get a result of one's own level or above the level in the exam; but if Due to emotional instability, it is also very regrettable that he unexpectedly fell short of the standard.The important thing is to grasp the true self and analyze the conditions and potentials for victory in a realistic way.A person's potential is infinite, even a successful person may only have played one or two tenths of all potentials, and there are still eight or nine tenths of potentials that have not been brought into play and have not been tapped.

American writer Emerson said: "Confidence is the first secret of success." If you can face the exam with this attitude, your nervous mood will be much calmer, and you can regard exams, especially some important exams, as It's one of the hundreds of tests you've taken, and it's just an assessment of your own learning.

Second, correctly view the relationship between the future and the college entrance examination.

Exams, especially the college entrance examination that is related to their own future, many candidates often take a heavy burden to take part, thus affecting their grades.In fact, with the continuous development of the economy, higher education has become more popular. Passing the exam to go to university is no longer a "single-plank bridge" to success.Being able to go to college is of course a good opportunity, but if you can't go to college for various reasons, then don't be too pessimistic, because the road to success is very broad.

Third, moderate self-psychological suggestion can increase self-confidence.For example, "I usually have good grades and I have studied hard, so I will definitely pass the exam"; "If I can't answer it, others may not be able to answer it"; "It doesn't matter whether the question is difficult or difficult. Easy, equal opportunity."These self-suggestions can enhance self-confidence, stabilize emotions, quickly enter the state, concentrate on taking the test calmly, create the best mood, and get the best test results.

The college entrance examination is not only a test of knowledge mastery, but also a test of psychological quality.If you have a sufficient knowledge base, but when you arrive at the examination room, you feel flustered, unable to remember anything, and uncertain, then everything will be in vain.Therefore, you must have a strong enough psychological quality to face this cruel exam.

Be confident first. "If you think you can, you can", only if you fully believe that you have the ability to do it, can you truly realize your wish in reality.The establishment of self-confidence also requires a longer process, but it is not difficult.You might as well try to give yourself some healthy and positive psychological hints after waking up or before going to bed every day, and tell yourself that you can do it.When walking, don't keep your head down and stare at the ground, try to smile and look forward with your chest up.If you keep going like this, you will gradually find that you are more and more confident, so why do you have to be afraid of the college entrance examination?

In 2005, Zhang Zhen, the number one scholar of science in Shandong Province, concluded: "I still remember the monthly exam one month after I entered high school. Although my grades were not bad when I entered the school, I always thought that I was not good when I saw the talents around me. , very small.

"I didn't speak in class, but just sat silently. The test questions were quite difficult, and I didn't do a big math problem. After the test, I almost collapsed, thinking that it was all over. After a few days, the score I came out, my score was not high, and I don’t know my ranking. In the self-study class that afternoon, the head teacher called me out and asked me how I did in the exam. I didn’t do well in the exam. I didn’t expect him to smile mysteriously and told me that I was the first in the grade. The impact of this incident lasted throughout the high school stage, and it also made me mature in the exam psychology. First of all, it gave me confidence and told me I can do it, even things with this probability; it also made me realize the absurdity of the premonition during the exam, no matter how you feel, don’t take it to heart, but devote yourself to the next exam .

"Maybe these things seem ordinary, but it is these ordinary things that give me a good attitude and a persistent belief that keep me moving forward."

"Walking" is boundless

In real life, there are not many times when people have smooth sailing. Instead, there are often more difficulties than good times, and more failures than successes. Therefore, only confident people can make great strides on the road to success.There are often students who say that they usually have excellent academic performance, but when it comes to exams, they feel nervous and feel very depressed. They ask: "Am I really failing? What should I do?" In fact, it is not these students who are failing, but They lack enough self-confidence to deal with setbacks and failures.

There is an allegory in Russia: "Throw your hat over the wall." It means that when you want to climb over a wall that is difficult to climb, throw your hat over first, so that you will try your best to climb over the wall. , be sure to take the hat back.People are often like this. When they are not confident enough, they always give themselves a way to retreat and an excuse to escape.

Because of this, we often miss many opportunities to "jump over the fence". "Throwing the hat over" cuts off the retreat and excuses that seem to have nothing, and you can only encourage yourself with self-confidence to "fight with your back".

People who think "I can do it" think about persevering when they encounter difficulties, while people who think "I can't" are in the same predicament and think "Forget it, I can't do it". "Persist a little longer" is the watershed between "I can do it" and "I can't". "Success often lies in persistent efforts."

Therefore, I said loudly to myself every day: "I can do it, I will do it!" Regardless of whether the grades are good or bad, I said to myself: "I can do it, I will do it!"

To be self-motivated, you must first see your strengths.

Eleanor, wife of President Roosevelt of the United States, said: "Unless you agree, no one will make you feel inferior." and psychological characteristics.Find out your own strengths and weaknesses, and use your own strengths to compare others' weaknesses to stimulate your self-confidence.

Second, hold your head up.

To keep your head up in life, start by adjusting your basic posture.

In many situations in life, we can notice that those confident people hold their chests up, while those with low self-esteem always bow their heads, giving people a sense of loss, so we must use this method to stimulate our confidence and fighting spirit.

Again, do it with a smile on your face.

Smiling is a great way to gain confidence.When you feel panic about various competitions, studies, exams, etc., you must smile, especially in the mirror, and say: "It's not a big deal." The problem can be solved.

Finally, speak up.

Talking out loud is an especially good breakthrough for self-motivation.

Don't hesitate, from today, from now on, you must dare to open your mouth, and you must let go of your volume. The more you exercise in a crowded place, the more you can improve yourself and gain confidence.

You may have also heard the words:

"No one in my family went to college, and it's unlikely that I would want to go to college."

"It's useless. I'm not a student."

"It's tedious being a smart, well-behaved person."

"The math teacher always finds fault with me."

"Don't pin your hopes on me, I've never been on the podium before."

"Me? Slim? You're kidding! My family is full of fat people."

You've heard these words, maybe many times, and one thing is certain: their words show their lack of self-confidence, because nothing is impossible unless you deny yourself.

If you want to be a master at studying, just insist on saying out loud three times in the mirror every morning: "I'm great!"

Make a mood "Sunflower"

A student said in a letter to his "intimate sister": "It is said that we are the season of flowers, but what I feel is endless pressure and endless suffering! Every night, I have to go to bed after 12 o'clock; Every morning, I have to get up on time at 6 o'clock. My dear sister, let me tell you, we have been studying for a month without a day off! I am really exhausted! Whenever I finish my homework At that time, I wanted to cry, and I wanted to cry a lot. But looking at the counseling materials piled up in front of me, I knew that I didn't even have time to cry!"

This classmate shared the distress of many students. Most of their days are like this: as soon as they open their eyes in the morning, they get up in a panic, busy putting on their clothes, busy brushing their teeth and washing their faces, and busy filling a few mouthfuls of breakfast. , busy rushing all the way to school, busy listening to the teacher's lecture, busy returning home from school, busy "feeding the head", busy doing homework, and even playing became busy!I just "fighted" all day, and when I was tired and paralyzed on the bed at night, I realized that I hadn't gained anything at all!

Living in this world, everyone has stress.Especially high school students.When you are depressed, what kind of attitude you adopt determines what kind of mood you will have.

When we feel sad, don't fight it, try to relax and see if we can be calm and calm in addition to panic.Instead of fighting your negative emotions, relax and take it easy.You should face your current distress from an appropriate perspective, and understand that the world is always getting better.There is only one path to happiness, and that is to stop worrying about things beyond our willpower.

Generally, 99% of the things you worry about never happen.If people are alive, if they worry about this and that all day long, wouldn’t it be too painful to live?When the morning sun comes, you should take off your pajamas, get up quickly, and then tell yourself: "This is a happy day, I will study hard." Then go out energetically.After going out, whether you meet elders or juniors, familiar or unfamiliar, you should greet them happily and say: "Good morning!"

Whether you are optimistic or sad, as long as you can find the paradise of your heart, you will be truly happy.

The exam itself has a certain degree of tension, and thinking about the expectations of teachers and parents, and thinking about their social responsibilities, the third year of high school studies has caused students a lot of mental pressure.At this time, it is important that you stop putting pressure on yourself, because it is impossible to get good grades under unbearable pressure.

Don't always think that you can only do well in the exam but not bad in the exam. What will happen to you if you pass the exam, and what will happen if you fail in the exam.The result of the exam is the accumulation of usual study, and the usual study level really determines the success or failure of the exam.What we have to do is "only ask about hard work, not about income".

Earlier, we have said that we should be realistic about our expectations, which is the key to maintaining a good mood.

Some students set goals for themselves before the exam, which is a good thing.The problem is that the goals proposed are often higher than your actual level. Because the expected goals are unrealistic, you will only bring yourself a mental burden before the exam, and you will bring yourself disappointment and troubles after the exam. .Every student should realize that the improvement of learning level needs to go through a gradual process and requires long-term efforts.
