Anyone can be good at studying.
If you study in a way that suits you and suits your style, that is.
So, I guess it's best to stop thinking negatively and weakly. I don't know yet how much of my abilities I have, or how much of them I've actually demonstrated.
It is your responsibility to discover and develop that ability.

--- P.25

Studying is a necessary means to realize these various ideals and goals.
If you want to study well, you must first have this kind of 'sense of purpose'.
If you have a goal, you can feel the need to study, which is the means to that goal.
Rather than focusing on the midterms and finals right in front of me, it's much more important to think about how I want to live, what my dreams are, and what I want to achieve, and to set goals first.

--- P.29

Many of my friends only study for entrance exams, so they don't really know what their dreams are.
In times like these, it can be a hint to think carefully about whether there is someone you want to be like and what you are interested in.
Or, it's also good to think about what subjects you're good at or what subjects you enjoy.

This is why, rather than specific methods and strategies for forming good habits, we must first understand what good habits are.
In other words, I need to have a clear self-awareness of why I have that habit.

--- PP.68~69

If you develop good study habits that help you improve your grades or start to feel interested in studying, you will feel a great sense of accomplishment in the process.
This experience of success and sense of accomplishment gives me the strength to confidently take on any challenge I undertake in the future.
That's why it's so important to have successful experiences.
Instead of making grand plans and giving up halfway through, try creating a plan that works for you and experiencing the success of making it your own.
Even if you succeed with a very small plan, you will feel inspired to try something bigger next time.

The knowledge we know can be broadly divided into two categories.
‘Knowledge that cannot be explained to others’ and ‘knowledge that can be explained to others’.
‘Knowledge that cannot be explained to others’ is not knowledge that is familiar, but rather known.
If you don't know clearly 'what you know and what you don't know', you need to think carefully about what you need to study more during the study process.
This is 'metacognition'.

--- P.88

The belief in one's own abilities is called 'self-efficacy'.
Believing that you are capable and believing that you are not capable are bound to produce different results.
If you have faith in your abilities, you will be confident in whatever you do, and if you have confidence, you will have fun doing whatever you do.
So naturally, studying becomes fun and your grades go up.

--- PP.91~92

'Self-control' is a decisive factor that influences 'whether or not you feel interested in the study process.'
In some ways, it could be said to be a similar concept to the ‘right to self-determination.’
Having control over what you do is a crucial factor in adding enjoyment and meaning to the process.
On the other hand, if you don't have control, not only will you not feel interest or fun, you'll also feel anxious, wondering, "What if I make a mistake?"
Compare the power I have over my own affairs to the power of others to unilaterally decide everything that concerns me.
It's only natural that you'll have completely different thoughts and attitudes.
When you have self-control, the meaning and value you give to the things you do inevitably change.

--- PP.100~101

How can I manage my time wisely? First, plan by the week, not by the day.
Planning your time this way allows you to see more broadly what you need to do and plan it systematically.
(Omitted) Second, another key to time management is feedback.
Before you make plans for next week, you should definitely do a self-assessment by looking at this week's plans.
You need to carefully check what you did well and what you lacked, reflect on it, and reflect on it in your plans for the next week.
(Omitted) Third, more than 60 percent of the total study time should be invested in important subjects such as English and math.
If you don't have a solid foundation in English and math from elementary school, it will be difficult to maintain good grades in middle and high school.
So, it's a good idea to plan your time so that you focus on studying important subjects while maintaining a balance with other subjects.

--- PP.121~124

'Planning well, managing your time well, creating an environment that promotes concentration, and studying continuously for more than an hour.' These are the methods we've learned so far to improve concentration.
But there's something else just as important to improving your concentration.
Just rest well.
You need to study so intently that you don't even notice when someone calls you, and take enough breaks between each session to maintain a certain level of concentration and energy.

--- P.150

Hobbies are enjoyable and provide a sense of stability in and of themselves, but they are also very important because they allow you to discover your talents and decide on a career path while enjoying your hobbies.
I have to try everything to find out what talent I have.
So, instead of drawing a line by saying, “I don’t have time to study and I’m too busy!”, try experiencing various activities and invest time in the ones that interest you the most.

--- PP.186~187

If you can achieve a perfect score in your attitude and character just as much as you can in math or English, wouldn't that be a truly great student? Don't just focus on the results of your studies; consider the meaning of your studies, and never forget that truly great people are those who know how to put those thoughts into practice.
