HOW TO HAVE PASSION FOR
LEARNING
BY: BANGBAYE EMMANUEL
Many teachers would verify that they entered the field of teaching because they love it. Not only they love teaching others,but the subject material they teach thrills them.
According to Oxford Dictionary, Passion is a very strong feeling of love, hatred, anger, enthusiam or desire for something,while learning is d knowledge that you get from reading and studying. Teachers work with their subject material- whether it be English, Math, Science,or whatever-in arenas beyond their classroom. They gravitate towards those venues. They feel complete when they work with and talk about what they love.
Learning is different from teaching and you must learn before talking about teaching because when you can teach it means you have the idea of what you are being taught.
For you to have passion for learning,you must know how to use TIME,how to find TIME and how to manage TIME because everything in this life is TIME. And note that TIME wait for no man."A serious student must know how to create time out of no time".
Burning of candles over night doesn't mean you have passion for learning. Every students' have his/her own pleasure TIME to read,your friend TIME may be different from your own but mind you "No success without sacrifice"
you must sacrifice your TIME for you to be successful in life and you must know how to achieve something good with just a minute of your TIME. Truely,"All work without play make jack a dull boy" and am not advicing you to use
the 24hours in a day to read.
You must know how to devote your TIME for
God."Nothing runs ones destiny like doubt and unbelief" you must know how to have faith in him for you to be successful in this life. Even the biblical concept confirm it to us in the book of (Joshua1vs8 that "This book of the law shall
not depart out of thy mouth;but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is
written therin:for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,and then thou shalt have good success)".
You must know the kind of friends that you associate with because "Bad advisers are many,good advisers are very few". And if you
haven't forgotten the proverb that said"show me your friend and I will tell you the kind of person you are". "Your greatest enemy is fear"
Be open with your own passion,its
unbelievably boring to learn from someone who doesn't even seem to care about what they are saying. It's incredibly inspiring,on the
other hand,to have someone to talk about a topic with pure joy."If you love something,then show it". It's contagious.
Passion is cool,atleast,that what we adult think.students often shy away from becoming too "academic" or "nerdy"because school isn't always presented as something cool. But it constantly remind students that being
smart,passionate,engaged people is cool and give them plenty of opportunities to be cool.
Set goal and reward improvement, when student set a goal for their own academic growth,half the battle is already won. Now they
have internal motivating factor that will help propel them to that next level of success. And
don't forget that "you don't read to pass but to learn".
