Students: HOW TO CONCENTRATE

HOW TO CONCENTRATE
Do you not know that the runners in a race all run, but only one receives the price？Run in such a way that you may attain it. Moreover, every man taking part in a contest exercisesdirectin self-control in all things, now they of course, do it that they may get a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible one. Therefore, the way I am running is not certainly the way I am directing my blows is so as not to be striking the air. But I pummel my body and lead it as a slave.
(1 Cor.9:24-27NWT )
One problem peculiar to students is lack of concentration. When you read, have you sometimes found out that your mind darts from one thought to another, especially on things that are unrelated to what you are studying？In my opinion this problem is the bane of low academic performance.
This is why a student spends lots of time reading few pages. I feel that if a student can work on their power of concentration, their academic performance will improve. However,it is important to know the meaning of concentration.
Concentration is the force of will top channel all your mind or thought to solving one single problem or finishing a single task at a particular time.
CAUSES OF POOR CONCENTRATION
Poor concentration can be caused by two broad factors viz:

1.      Distraction due to self 
   

2.      Distraction due to environment  
   

Distraction due to self include:
Hunger
Pornography
Mental laziness
Illness
Lack of motivation etc.
Environmental causes
Noise
Reading posture
High temperature
Fruitless argument

2. Flee from pornography
3. Avoid overeating
