Here is something meaningful for all of us. Something we can learn and apply it in our daily life.

Learn from this. As the saying goes No pain, No gain. Thus, we should accept the pain and out future will be fruitful.

Don't feel the work that you do is pain, because there will be always a reason for that pain or work. So face the pain, for the pain you face, there will be definitely happiness ahead. Remember When God puts us in this pain or work he always has a plan and he knows what he is doing. Our God is a wise God and also a great God.

10 extra things you should know about studying technique

Throughout schooling years, we must have heard a lot about studying techniques and examination tips. Here are some of the practical methods that will maximize your chances of shining in exams.

1. Start by tidying-up it’s therapeutic! A neat study desk or space will le you feel more in control and confident.

2. In the morning, your body is more refreshed and capable to absorb more information – so, take that time to concentrate on subjects that are more factual in nature e.g. Biology, History & Economics. Switch to more relaxing subject like Mathematics, English & Arts as the sun gets higher in the day.

3. Some may study better sprawled on the floor, sitting across-legged or walking about. Find out what studying posture suits you the best. However, never study lying on bed. It makes you feel sleepier and damages your eyes.

4. You need about eight hours of sleep on the average. If you tend to have a nap in the afternoon, be careful not too nap too long, as it can disrupt normal sleeping patterns. If you must have nap, make it less than an hour.

5. Avoid Maggie Mee and sweet stuff (Chocolates, ice cream and candies) at least a month before any major examinations. They contain chemicals that affect your blood flow to the brain.

6. Eat more fish and banana. They are your brain food.

7. Divide your assignments or homework into 4 categories by priority: important and urgent, not important but urgent, important but not urgent and not important and not urgent.

8. You need to practice/repeat a routine for at least 56 days consistently before it becomes a habit or something you would not forget until you die.

9. Music and mathematics are inter-enhancing because they are located almost opposite to each other in your cerebrum. Theoretically, listening to soft music will help you to do calculations easier and vice versa. Hard metal and rock music are an exception.

10.Memorize and meditate Matthew 6:33 (Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given unto you as well) Don’t let studies become your god, but let Jesus be the God of your studies@

Our brains are our important asset and valued gift bestowed by the Creator. Therefore, as Christians, we aspire to be good students because we display a good witness to others and we please God by working and fulfilling the potential that God has made for us. Put in our best efforts in studies, and then leave the result to Him.

Some encourage words..

A Preacher in KZ said this:

Sharing with people with God's scripture is sharing what God has done to the world.
Sharing our lives is about sharing what God is still doing in our life TODAY!!!

Think about it........let's keep sharing our lives testimony to people around us. TOUCH THEM FOR Jesus Christ!!!
