To give students some guidelines on how to improve their studies 【text】curiosity Such people are tremendously curious. The whole world is of interest to them, and they observe what others do not. Nobel-Prize winner physician Albert put it wellwhen he said,”discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something differently.” With this curiosity comes an “investigative spirit”; the learning is not so much the acquisition of information as it is an investigation -a questioning, a turning over of the object of study to see all sides and facets. It is not knowing in the sense of having a rigid opinion, but the ability to look again at another time, in a different sight, as suggests, and to form a new understanding based on that observation. Discipline Any disciplinebut especially those with great subtlety and complexity, like yoga and tai chican be a lifelong pursuit. Persistence, consistency, and discipline are required. Without these, our learning is but froth without substance. There are no shortcuts. The fruit of these seemingly dry qualities(which we prefer to admire in others) is the satisfaction of having tasted the fullness of completion, or the thrill of meeting a difficult challenge with success. Perhaps, though, our culture is in need of redefining what it means to study. If we can look at our chosen discipline or craft as an ongoing process rather than a discrete accomplishment, the potential for learning can be infinite. With this attitude we may find ourselves treating even the most mundane discovery with wide-eyed wonder and joy.
