People always say that hard work pays off. That you're effort will be rewarded. And that you know, practice makes perfect. Often, these are words that motivates us to do better, and bring out the bests in us. But I beg to differ after pondering on it for awhile...
It doesn't really matter whether or not you work hard on a certain subject. No matter how hard you study, or how much time and effort you put in MEMORISING word for word, it doesn't help at all if you don't understand it. I had an experience before when i studied for a biology test for 4 days. I memorised and memorised and memorised, hoping to be able to memorise it all. But you know, biology, being what the teachers call it, all about concept. You learn from the textbook, understand it, and you apply to whatever questions the teachers throw at you. Yeah.. And in the end, I failed. Haha Yeap so what I'm trying to say is that I guess you'll have to understand what you're studying before trying to memorise, if in any case you need to. Okay well that's all. Good luck to all students out there! :)
