Most people think its going to be hard to overcome this situation and they will thinkthat theonlyresolutionistogiveupandthentheunbalancedsocial stateoccurstothestudents and will make them do drugs, smoke, and so on.Aneampleishappeninginoureverydaylive. !ikeinaschool,wherealmostallkinds of things could happen. In "alembang, Indonesia, you can see that almost every schoolhave tight schedule. #tudents go to school in early morning and it finish in the afternoon. $otonly that, they also take course until %& pm, it will cause them to be tired easily in everydayroutine, and also will cause lack of concentration, stress, and desperation. In few cases, tightschedule of studying will make the students, instead of feeling tired, it will give them intensemotivation to have a prestige of their own, which is a good thing. 'ut most students cannotbear the situation of tight schedule and intense studying.That is not the way to be succesful. Most people think what you have to do is to studyhard like stated above, but truly what you have to do is to study right. #tudying right means tostudy effectively with little time as possible, considering that you have other schedule thanstudying, like praying, rest, and of course social life that has to be balanced. (emember thatyou do study because you want it, not because it is your duty as students. )o not feel that students must be right. As students, you need studying to correct thewrong way. $ever be afraid, if you think this kind of life is going to be hard to live with, thereare ways to handle it. And that way is to have a hobby. *veryone on earth have a special skillthat come from their interests. +hether it is in the aspect of art, sports, intellectual, creativity,etc. ,indagoodhobby,likepainting, playingpiano, readingbooks, andsoon.#howtheworld that you have skills that makes you different. +hen you study correctly, and live out your life, you will feel confident. -ou will feelthat you have to test out your skills and knowledge for a drive. -ou will want to compete inyour society.

'e the best, that kind of thought has to be planted onso that you will always study, and live out your life as a succesful person. 'ut if you lose, thennot to worry, even the most eperienced warrior have failures in their past. $ever lose your confidence and focus because that will make you even worse thanbefore. .eep on studying, keep on working, and dont give up. 'ut never forget our losses,because from that failure you will study, see back through time, and think hard about whereyou went wrong, and then make it right./ne of the eample of right success is one and only, Thomas Alva *dison. 0e madelots of eperiments to create light bulb, maybe he created %&& kinds of failures 1ust to make alight bulb. If he gave up at attempt no. %&&, what our life would look like is that you have tolive with candles.Most people feel sad and desperate, sometimes angry when they lose. +hat I have tosay is that is 1ust absurd. -ou all want to win, you studied hard and right, you all will havespirits and flames in your eyes that say 2I can do this3, but a one time loss suddenly makesyou feel sad. Again, not to worry, life is unfair, but that doesnt mean that you have to beunfair too. It means that youhave tostandupfor ourself, be brave, courageous, andambitious. $ot only to tell the world that you have the skill, but you also have consciousnessand spirit to win. +hat you have to do is to get revenge. 4et revenge by studying even harder and moreeffectively. Truly, our emotion can be easily shaped back by having motivation, ambition anddreams. 5nder a few circumstances, you lose by unconventional conditions. Thespirit comesfromdream. )reamingalldaywithoutactionisnot good.Thinkthrough dreams as a set of goals, so you motivate yourself to make your dream comes true.The dreams are things what you want and try to be specific.-our high dream must be followed by good manners or personality. -ou have a goodbrainandsomanyknowledge, but if that goodthingsbelongtoabadpersonit meansnothing.
