Question

Students often complain of being overworked. The burden of heavy syllabi and the pressure of performing

well in all examinations keep them tense all the time. High expectations of their parents make their situation

even more miserable. As a result, even very young children have started suffering from tension and

depression, two ailments quite unfamiliar to our great grandparents. There is a simple technique which, if

applied sincerely , can keep the students relaxed. Don’t be frightened by the large amount of work you are

required to do . Concentrate only on the work in hand, treating the rest of the work as if it did not exist. Think

of the one race you are running . Think of the lesson you are learning . This will help you to achieve more

without getting tense .


Finding a huge pile of books on a young student’s table , an elderly person in the neighbourhood said , “what

a burden,my son ! I Pity you. How do you manage ?”


“ I don’t think of all the work I have to do”,said the student. “I focus on only the lesson I’m reading at the

moment . So I don’t feel overworked at all.”

This student’s style of working makes an important point relevant to all of us.
