The thing which is most liked by human is rest, comfort and luxury.
Over the time, this human instinct has become part and parcel of life of human
beings. With the development of mind and intellectual properties, there has been effort of
human beings to devise different means to secure maximum comfort and
pleasure to them. As time passes away, this habit is slowly converted into
laziness. This habit is step by step passed on to their off springs through
genes, general behavior and inherited virtues, generation to generation. During Paleolithic age
and prior to that human beings used to hunt the pray or used fruits and
different types of vegetation for feeding. Later on he started collecting and
keeping food for rainy days. This was a quite comfortable thing. He had not to hunt or collect food daily during extremely bad living conditions. Later on,
barter system came into existence through this instinct and perhaps concept of
property also came into existence.
TAKE POSITIVE INSPIRATION FROM OTHER
CREATURES
It is not only the human beings who possesses instinct of collection of food and
property but some other animals also possess this instinct and according to the
principal of use and disuse they have modified their organs and habits for this
thing. Reptiles and amphibians like snakes and frogs hibernate during winter
and utilize the glycogen stored in their liver as reserve food. Polar bears
also do this thing. They use to store fat as reserve food during their hibernation
period. Bees and wasp collect honey as food reserve. Giraffe has elongated its
neck too long, snake has transformed its saliva into poison, chameleon posses
property of changing color of its skin in seconds. Elephant has transformed its nose into trunk for feeding. The above instincts better
describe the Darwin’s theory of evolution, Lemarck’s theory of use and disuse
and Hugo-de-veries’ gene theory. This
instinct is just like to protect future and spending life with ease. But this habit has given rise to
another instinct of laziness.
OPTIMUM USE OF BRAIN POWER
Now come to humans. The instinct of collection of property at one hand
gave immense satisfaction to them and future security. The tissues of nerves of
every individuals are composed of same material i.e. grey matter and white matter. However, there is difference of
sizes an masses of brains of all creatures. An little ant is quite wise in managing its day to
day functions. The colonies of ants are well organized and every in these colonies, functions are
rigidly distributed between each section of ants like queen, males, soldiers and workers. In human society distribution of
functions in the society and family is almost similar. However, overlapping of
functions is there. Here, our purpose is not of comparing ants and human
beings. Main purpose is to compare the capabilities of both. Human mind is
thousands time much larger and complex than that of ants. Are human beings utilizing capability
of their brain and mind?. definitely not. main reason is that instinct of love
for rest becomes dominant over will power. Here it is not the blame over all individuals but high percentage is as described above. Some other creatures like slug have become so lazy that their activity is very less. Therefore, some times we compare lazy humans with slug.
MOLD YOUR SELF ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF
TIME
I am attracting attention of students towards above aspects. They
should think them self whether they are doing their best efforts to achieve their goals or
whether they have a will power to achieve their goals? If we take example of
ants then students should put their best efforts in an organized manner to
achieve their goals. The past depicts that those creatures could only have survived
who molded themselves according to the needs of time. As has been discussed above
various creatures have been successful as they molded themselves according to
need of time. Nature has also helped them. Whale is a mammal but lives in water, penguin
is a bird but has molded him to live in icy waters of Antarctica. The Chameleon
and Praying Mantis have made their will power so strong that they can change their
colors. Human beings can not do so. However they have the capability to devise many instruments for their convenience.
LAZINESS IS DOMINANT OVER ACTIVE LIFE
The percentage of those students is less who study themselves without
any motivation from external factors. Majority of students perform their
studies out of fear, for want of rewards or when called to do so by their parents. Every
time instinct of lure of rest prevents them from doing an activity which
requires regular concentration and hard work. Hard work always created pain in body and mind but at last it yield better results. As I have already said in my earlier
blogs, here, it is a need of concerted efforts of students, teachers and their
parents to achieve required goal. There is need to create flexibility in mind like a gymnast makes its body flexible by constant efforts. But that can be done only if systematic studies are done punctually. To create punctuality a time table has to be devised by students them self. Due to instinct of leisure most of the
students remain busy in watching television and playing videos games which
simply waste their precious time. I am not saying that watching television or
playing video games is bad but excess of every thing is bad. According to newly self devised time table, students should watch TV. We have only 24
hours with us. Much time is spent in schools and colleges, some time is utilized in transit between school and home. Then sleeping also consumes about six to seven hours. Between school off and sleeping most of time is wasted by many students in those activities which are
fruitless or not of much benefit. Here, it is the value of this time.
TIME MANAGEMENT
As students have to spend a larger portion of day time in their
classes, they may split the rest of time for particular type of activities like
playing games, doing home work, other creative work etc. Following tips may be remembered by students:
Maintain discipline in life.
Keep your mind concentrated in class. Listen
carefully what teacher is teaching you. Don’t hesitate to put an question if
concept is not clear to you.
Don’t leave today’s work on tomorrow.
Repeat exercises which you have done in your
school/colleges.
Don’t forget to play physical games and doing Yoga
exercises.
When you are alone, close our eyes and remember in silence what type of
activities you have done during whole of the day. Use your mind as black board and your thoughts as pen.
Keep your books near to your living place. Whenever
a question comes up in your mind immediately consult from the book.
Go to bed early and wake up early.
When you wake up in the morning first of all throw splashes of cold
water on your eyes. Keep these wet for some time. You will feel a feeling of
heavenly freshness.
You may go for a brief morning walk.
Respect your parents. What they are saying is for the
betterment of you.
If other students are performing better from you, don't feel jealous of them. Try to become more capable or equivalent to them. As capability increases more horizons will appear before you from where sun of success will peep out.The only instrument is making your will power strong and stronger.This is in your own hand.
Adopt above activities. You will become champion.
