Academic Success - 8th Entry

Academic success is one of the things that many students want to achieve. It is that sweet feeling of passing all your subjects, gaining grades that induce jealousy and the right to boast with pride. It is the one thing your parents, your relatives, your close friends and you, yourself, want to see. But what are the causes that lead to academic success? 

One possible cause is an adjustment in attitude. It could be the student had a change of heart or he suddenly gained intellect. But whatever the change, having a change in attitude can lead to academic success. Another possible cause is the implementation of time management. Most students nowadays have difficulty managing their time for all their subjects. It's a hassle to prepare for a party night when the student find outs  he has 100-page Biology test coming up. But by implementing time management, the student has a clear view of how to use his time. He can balance the activities he does on a daily basis and set his priorities. Another possible cause for academic success is the competitive spirit in himself. This is related to the "adjustment in attitude". Students who strive for academic success are the A-type students, who strive for the best in everything. This instills a competitive attitude that gives them the drive to go for success. 

Now we know what causes academic success. But how about the effects of academic success?

One effect is the overall confidence in the student. Because he has achieved the academic success, it boosts his confidence. He believes more in himself. Another effect is how his peers will respond to it. It's either they will shun him or they will praise him. They may also be inspired by his success and be motivated to drive towards success as well. Another effect is the improvement in knowledge. The student becomes more knowledgeable about things in life because now that he has confidence and inspiration, he is able to gain more knowledgeable with his open mind.

In short, these are the causes and effects of academic success. We may not be like the student illustrated here in this article but we can mimic his ways of driving towards success and gain our own individual academic success. Study hard, play hard and have fun!
