Extra should be considered extra

"Difference No. 1

The teachers won’t spoon-feed you like how your school teachers did. On the first day of class, you’ll only be given the course outline and the reading list. After that, you’re supposed to find all the books in the list by yourself at the library. It’s just up to YOU, the students, to take the initiative to study hard!

Difference No. 2

Your timetable MAY not be up to your expectation. Unlike school, your classes will be scattered throughout the day.

Difference No. 3

You’ve got to be more independent in university. No mother to cook you home-cooked meals every day. But if you live near home, then lucky you. If not, you’re stuck with the canteen food or outside food.

Difference No. 4

At school, you’ll meet your classmates every day and then get to know them easily, right? At uni, you won’t get to know all your course mates in the first semester. That’s because there are so many of them and you won’t meet them every day. It depends on the courses all of you are taking. Maybe you’ll meet some people more often than others. So, basically, you’re meeting new people almost every day until you won’t be able to recall their names.

Difference No. 5

In uni, you’re in charge of your own life! Nobody, and I mean NOBODY will boss you around or nag at you. Nobody seems to force you to go to your room and study, etc.

If you don’t study, you won’t be able to cope up and then you won’t know how to answer during exams too. If you go online too much, you won’t have time to study. It’s easy to get lost in cyber world because there are free Wi-Fi spots all over campus. But do make sure you spend your time wisely. Don’t get too caught up blogging or chatting on MSN because then, you’d have wasted time that you should have spent on studying.


But the most important thing is, you’ll experience new things. You’ll learn a lot from your courses, your activities, your friends and your teachers. You will learn to stand on your own two feet. University really prepares you for life."

Henry David Thoreau wrote, "In the long run, PEOPLE hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high."

Dream is not something that we see in the sleep......dream is something that does not make us sleep. So, make a dream that will drive you to become great in life.....

[Golam Kibria]

Dream is that which can force us to work for the achievement of that dream.

[goodboy]

A dream entitles the power of attitude we posses. We must execute our dream in such a way that this attitude can be our pride 'n honor.

“In this hard world of experience that will be tested will be other than those required in an examination hall. Perseverance and a capacity for hard work, integrity of purpose and character, shrewd judgment based upon accurate knowledge, an understanding of human characteristics and sympathetic approach to all questions involving human welfare- are these qualities that will stand you in good stead in those days to come”- W.A. Jenkins 1955.

Good CGPA is very much important but if you know the better knowledge its can better for your life and it can help you all time in any situation.

It’s the difference between knowing and doing that determines success.

Dear Faruque

Does your GPA reflect your intellectual ability? If not, why not?

What changes must be made (by you and/or others) so that your GPA WILL reflect your ability?

It’s not over ‘till it’s over, and YOU determine when it’s over!

Change strategies when necessary, but never give up your goals.  If you can dream it, you can achieve it!

The purpose of student life is to foster the development of students, that is, to foster the most salutary qualities of character.

Student life should allow students to confront and solve complex real-life situations as an ongoing part of their learning process. Each student should establish their purpose/mission in life, create tangible goals for four to five years and design a life collage.*

*collage means the art of making a picture in which various materials and objects are stuck on a larger surface.

Reading not only increases our knowledge but also makes us capable of living in this world with ease.
  
Reading is an active mental process: Unlike sitting in front of the TV, reading makes us use our brain. While reading we would be forced to find out or reason out many things which are unfamiliar to us.
  
Reading improves our vocabulary

Reading improves concentration and focus

Reading builds self-esteem: The more we read, the more knowledgeable we become. With more knowledge comes more confidence. More confidence builds self-esteem. So it’s a chain reaction. Since we are so well read, people look to you for answers.
  
Reading improves memory

If we read a lot, we will always have something to talk about: Have we ever found ourselves in an embarrassing situation where we didn’t have anything to talk about? Did we hate ourselves for making a fool of ourselves? Do we want a remedy for this? It’s simple. Start reading. Reading widens our horizon of information. We’ll always have something to talk about. We can discuss the stuff we are learning in the business books we are reading as well. The possibilities of sharing become endless.

We study in university for many different reasons. I think the most important reason is to gain more knowledge and learn more skills. Of course, there are also many other reasons that we, people study in university such as to get more friends, and increase one's self-confidence or to study further.

These days, most jobs require people who are educated and have good job skills. Therefore, the people who want a good job have to study hard and at least graduate with a high education. Furthermore, as technology advances all over the world, more and more education is required of people.

The people who graduate from university seem more confident in our community. These people are more respected by society. Many people want to be respected and to be important by family, friends, their bosses, and others in their lives. They find that most of them can confidently talk and do their jobs as they are more educated. Therefore, most people want to get the confidence through the university study.

In today's society, people need more knowledge and skills to be adapted. The university study is a good way to achieve this.

University is a place that the students can learn more and new knowledge and experience in it. Of course, different people have different reasons to study in university. For example, some people want to be to go on a further study after they graduate from the university; some people hope to find a good job after their studying in the university and also some people wish to exchange their present situation through studying in the university. In my opinion, no matter what reason people study for studying in the university is just a preparation for their future’ life.

Students can learn new knowledge and experiences from the studying in the university. There are many teachers, professors with abundant teaching experience who teach students lots of new knowledge and help them to solve the problems in their study. With their help, student can learn a lot of useful basic and professional knowledge which is very helpful for their future’ work. and study. After they finish their study in the uni, students go to work in the society and contribute to the different fields.

All in all, students not only can learn lots of new knowledge from the books but also can learn much more necessary experience such as how to arrange time and how to cooperate with other people. It is very important for their future work and life.

The pleasures of reading

Greater the mind is cultured, greater will be the derived from reading for reading makes a full person.


There are great masters of writing in all great languages of the world. English Language abounds in such great authors. Again it may be poetry, novel, fiction, drama, travelogue, and letters. Biographies and autobiographies, form a sizable part. In these days of rush good magazines supply the material for reading. For example, one may cite the Reader's Digest.

In order to enjoy reading, one must cultivate that habit. Reading is not the 'be all' and `end all' of life. Yet, it can be ennobling. There is dignity in reading habit.
