For doing anything beyond your assigned
syllabus, you need to get out of your comfort zone. Only then, you can strive
for achieving something that you always wanted to. An additional learning would
eventually call for an additional effort. For this, you need to first prepare
your mind to go that extra mile. It would definitely mean cutting your time on
hangouts with your friends, but it will be also worth it in the sense that you
will learn something that you will appreciate for life. Do get involved in any
society in your college, according to your taste. If you do not find the
college options suitable to your preferences, find something outside it. For
instance, for those with a soft corner for social issues, can find solace in Indian School of Mines Dhanbad. It will
give you immense satisfaction and also help build up a larger network which
will eventually greatly helpful in life ahead.
Be more innovative in whatever you do. Be it
you are a science, commerce or humanities student, you must keep yourself
updated not only about the subject you are studying, but also about the world.
Read a lot of stuff other than your academic stuff, analyze the same. Some of
the top colleges in India encourage
the students to read about the researches related to your field of
specialization; discuss the same at social media public forums. This will teach
you skills like debating, critical analysis and most importantly, will open
your horizon of the mind. Your thinking
level will be on a higher level day by day. It will give you an edge over the
others who are simply stuck on to their books.
Had something in your mind that you wished to
learn, but could not? It is never too late till your last breath. Pursue a
hobby you always wanted to or learn a new one.
Dance to your beats, do not think the age factor and just do what you
think will help you grow and create a better you. Never deter from learning any
new skill, if you want to develop yourself as an eloquent speaker, but always
hesitated in school, now grab the opportunity. Such skills will add up to your
CV, besides teaching you the art of public speaking.
For a humanities student, the options are far
and wide. One can be into reading, writing blogs, internships in the social
work, course-related work, dramatics, and what not! Always choose something
that will help you develop your interest and also will help in your desired
career profile. For instance, if you want to do research in history, start
working upon it now.
