Most people know the importance of doing their homework and learning, but they just cant stop themselves from going to play things like video games. how can you make yourself or force yourself to value learning more then anything else and put all your effort on learning?

hi joshualu, as a student, learning is so important to us. and as a student, what we should learn more is to control ourself first. we should control our lure and laziness. when i was in school, i never play vedio games if i did not finish my homework. i always told myself to be selfdicipline and i told myself i had to control my emotion if i want to be successful in the near future.

Maybe you should think of the fact that your parents/relatives/etc. (or you yourself) are working hard to earn money just so they can send you to a good school. If your school is a public school, then maybe you should think about the welfare of the taxpayers such that you shouldn't waste their money by giving in to senseless pursuits instead of studying. You should also think about yourself and how important it is to get a decent degree of education so that you'll get a stable job in the future.

Everything is important in life. Alone Education can not make anyone perfect. You need to take part in other social activity. Sport activity, internet, parties everything is part of society. Hard education can make a person lazy.

You should not have to force yourself into doing schoolworks. Because the more ou force yourself, the more the you would feel lazy in doing them. Being a student doesn't require 100 percent of your time. Yes, you are studying but at the same time you need to relax and do things that you like. The answer is to put all things in moderation. Make yourself a time schedule or a list of the tasks you need to do. In this way you would have time to be a student, a kid and do some tasks at home as well. when I was a student I used to study all the time. As school, at home. Everything revolves on books and reports, but I ended up feeling that everything is a tasks, if its like that, even you are learning the things start to be non sense. Slowly, I made a schedule, time for everything. Moderate... if you get tired... stop... play, read, go to the mall... but make sure that you will have time to finish your tasks as well. Dont stop yourself from doing the things you like because of school work, all you need is balance.
