Last night I watched a Homework/ Study Seminar ironically i watched it instead of studying for the test the next day but i did ok. Well it was more on psycology rather than actual study tips.

On of the examples on it was, a dog will scratch at the door to go out for his walk over and over. Why? Because he knows sooner or later his owner is gonna give in and take him for a walk. Now lets look at it from a different perspective, in Africa there are many, many elephants. Trainers are available to train these elephants and use them as a matter of transportation. Now, when the elephant is a baby the trainer will stick the elephant on a leash and at first the elephant will tug and pull at this rope for hours at a time and still get no results. Evidently this elephant gives up. Now fastforward to years later after this elephant has grown up, this same elephant (now much bigger) is still on the same little rope and has given up trying to get away because as a baby it got no results.

In a way thats how studying is. You get no results the first time so you throw the textbook out the window and never try again. Interesting enough this analogy can be used in all areas of life and i’m just discovering that…
