Your body is a machine. If it runs out of fuel, it shuts down immediately. To improve your concentration time, make sure that you have a good breakfast and pack in some lunch to keep your sugar levels up. School days are long and you need to keep up.

A journey of a thousand miles is made up of a million tiny steps. Do all your homework every day and start making exam notes. By the time you have to start studying for the exams, most of your notes will be complete and you can devote all your attention to refreshing the info in your head.

Be confident

Confidence is infectious. When you display confidence in yourself then the people around you, including your teachers, also start believing in your potential which in turn boosts your confidence in yourself…. And so on and so on.

Avoid negative people

Life is tough enough without someone telling you the whole time just how tough it is. There’s no point building yourself up just to let some sad soul break you down again because of their own pathetic issues. Surround yourself with positive people who inspire you to do better.

Enjoy yourself

Added by edanb on Dec 23, 2012 2:32 PM

School is so much more than pure academics, so enjoy the people around you and the certain amount of freedom you have from bills and major responsibilities. It’s the only time in your life where it’s illegal for you to have a job.

Stop watching TV

Added by edanb on Dec 23, 2012 2:32 PM

Try to imagine how bored you would get if you didn’t have the constant lulling of the television on your mind. Maybe just bored enough to actually do some homework?
It doesn’t take a lot of effort to push the off button.

When you dream of a bright exciting future for yourself then the steps required in getting there, like good grades, become lighter. You might even start to enjoy it and put in some ‘extra’ effort.
