Is Studying the MOST important aspect of a young person’s life?
A great topic, really- I am tired out of studying and it was fun to compose this, I had so many points in my head!
Studying may be an important part of a youngster’s life but
it is incorrect to say that it is the most important aspect of a young person’s
life. It is important, but its significance is yet to be understood. I won’t be
wrong in saying that they are aspects which need to be given more importance.
Firstly, the purpose of life is not to study, study, and
only study. There are things prior to studying, and thus they deserve more time
and attention. These things need to be sorted out, and priorities should be
made.
For this a student should have a flexible routine. Studying
should be included, and a reasonable time should be allotted for the activity.
But some freedom should be given, and strict limitations need to be eased. A
youngster gets bored and tired out of only studying, and this should be kept in
mind.
There are certain important things in a young person’s life
that come before studying, and I would like to mention a few.
First of all, a youngster’s health is important. In order to
be physically fit, some healthy activities and exercise should be done. Some physical activities like jogging, walking,
swimming, or maybe karate can be included.
A nutritional diet is
also very important, and enough time should be taken out to eat. A youngster’s
diet should contain carbohydrates, proteins, fruits and vegetables. Fats and
oily acids should be avoided.
Sleep is also necessary, often students cut out on their
sleep to have more time to study. This is a completely wrong strategy; in fact,
researches have proved that less sleep affects brain efficiency. Sleep should
be given reasonable time in a youngster’s routine.
Secondly, some time should be taken out to teach household
skills, basic cooking and stitching, for instance. These are essential and
important too, as a young person needs to know them to manage a home. Young
girls need to be educated in this matter, as they are the ones who have the
domestic responsibilities in a family.
Some time for socializing and meeting other people should
also be taken out. Sometimes students burden themselves with their studies so
much that they don’t take out time to meet their family, their siblings and
parents. Children and teenagers should visit their family and relatives, to
maintain good family ties. It is also good to meet friends once in a while.
Undoubtedly, studying is an important aspect of a young
person’s life, but there are a number of things which are equally, or more,
important. The significance of these things should be understood and need to be
kept in mind to live a balanced life.
You're right! We all need balance in life, not TOO much studying or no studying at all. I love the points you've made! :) I happen to know someone IRL who studies 24/7, and literally 24/7. She locks herself up in her room to study all the time. *shrugs* XD But the advantage is that she has lots of options for what she wants to be when she's older. :P I didn't know girls had the domestic responsibilities where you are! In England, the men are expected to have the same household responsibilities as the women... or they can be lazy and don't in some cases. XD Keep writing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Zainab for highlighting the value of non-study part of a student's life. In fact doing things other than studying is equally educational if not more. We learn through doing, through interactions and through experiencing life. When students tend to avoid life in order to become successful in studies, they win in exams and sometimes lose in life.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. Thanks for reading!
