Introduction:
In the name of God the Merciful, Praise
is to Allah, and peace and blessings be
upon His prophets and messengers
Muhammad and his family and
companions.
Dear student, it is a pleasure to put in
your hands this book, which contains a
simple summary, runs the experiences
of many scientists and experts of
human development in their fields,
which I learned from them and use the
information which is useful in each
unit to enrich it. Additionally I added to
it a summary of my experiences
which I have been through periods of
study in Per stages and especially the
Page 7

present time, when Im completing
my MBA studies which is a unique
experience for me where
I face
difficult circumstances because of
many activities at the same time . As
a part-time study and a lot of activities
made me revise my calculations well
and taught me a lot about the
importance of science .Also I add some
of my experiences which I gained
from working for more than six years
in the Ministry of Education . This
taught me a lot from dealing with
students in schools and training
courses. During this period I was
taking observations from
many
students and also I looked in many
sources to feed and enrich the book
for the benefit of students and urging
them to continue learning and
contribute to the development of their
skills and creative abilities. At the end
I ask Allah to help me in success in the
Page 8

delivery of books material to the mind
of the recipient.

progress your level in school or
college. It is enriched with a lot of
thoughts from different recourses and
supported by the stories of our reality
and many stories of great scientists.
The book starts with the benefits of
science and its importance for human
been. Also I talked about the roles of
related
elements
in
making
a
successful generation and these are
(the organization, teacher, parents and
students.
Then I moved to the seven steps which
I considered it from my experience in
the education environment and my
readings will be helpful for students to
improve themselves. These steps are:
First steps is the mind abilities and
how using it. Where I explained how
Page 9

the brain and our thoughts play role in
our excellence. Also how we use it to
improve ourselves and get rid of bad
habits from our life.

and especially how to plan and
organize your study activities.
Then in the fourth stage we will see
how we priorities our life activates
upon its importance to us.
The effective study was the fifth step.
In this step we will see how we can
Page 10

study effectively to get the maximum
advantage of our learning.
In the sixth step I talked about the
concentration and the benefit of it. I
explained how we concentrate in the
class or at home when we study.
The last and final step is the
importance of health during your
study level. I explained how it is
essential for you if you want to be a

BENEFIT OF
EDUCATION:
The benefit of education:
Page 12

From the beginning of the history all
religions and wise men encourage
people to learn new things to improve
and develop their life or others lives by
learning new things, new technology
that will develop all nations and make
life much easier.
In
the
Islamic
Hadith,
Prophet
Mohammed said, Ask for the science
from your birth to the death and
other said, Ask for knowledge even if
it is in China. and, Brain Tracy the
famous writer and motivator says,
Knowledge is power. I totally agree
with all the sayings. Therefore, dear
students do not stop at one point. Try
to learn as much as possible, because
life can become much faster and much
enhanced. Every second there are new
things being launched in our life: new
science,
new
theory,
and
new
technologies.
Page 13

Every year millions of books are
published. To see yourself: Ask
yourself, How many books do you
read every year?"
(Maybe you will be disgraced with the
answer)
Are you one of those students who
does not care or read until the
previous night of exams?
Are you one of those who prefer the
ready reports from the net and copy it
without any effort?
Are you one of those who rarely visit
the library to read other recourses?
Are you one of those who dont like to
visit book exhibitions to seek for new
knowledge?
Page 14
Dear student...
What are we going to do in front of this
huge exploration of information (as I
can say)? Are we going to watch it
happening with taking benefits of it?
Are we going to be stranded in our
place whilst the rest of the world is
moving ahead?
You
should
ask
yourself
these
questions if you want to understand
what is happening around you. Maybe
you will assess the level of knowledge
you have obtained.
Dear reader, if you want to reach to
your merit you should take care of
your education, you should start
improving yourself every day. Try to
read and learn new things every day.
This will help you in many ways in your
life like:
Page 15

Give more understanding to your
subject knowledge.
Provide you

more
information
Help you to improve in your

thinking process
Help
you
to
analyze
the
information and give you a
chance
to
compare
the
information you have.
Provide
you
with
others
experience that will enrich your
personality and it will reflect in
your life.
Thus,
we
can
understand
the
importance of continuous learning and
improve our selves. To do that you
mostly should read the books.
Whatever courses we have, its mostly
Page 16

from books. At university, we learn
from books, if we attend course we get
the information, which is mainly from
the books. So, dear readers we have
no choice. We have to read books
whether it is printed books or e-book
which is now available everywhere. We
can buy it from bookshops, the net or
visit libraries, which are near to our
living place. The other way is to use
the audio books or educational videos,
which benefit us in our learning
process. Also, it will boost our
knowledge and make our study easier.
In addition, it will give us the help we
need to solve our homework and
finishing our assignment.
Dear student, whatever may be your
age or position, you still need to learn,
to improve your personality. You need
to learn new skills that will help you to
live a better life. It will help you to deal
with others and get better chances in
Page 17

the surrounding environment. You do
not know when you are going to need
this knowledge: maybe you will need it
to deal with family, spouse, children,
and friends or at work with colleagues.
There is always a need for new
information every time and every
place in the world.
I remember, when I was in France in
2008, I was studying French language.
There was one old woman from
Spain; I think she must have been
over 60. She was wearing glasses and
had a medical bandage wrapped on
her ankle. She was walking very slowly
with her crutches due her age. She
was a very patient woman. She used
to come to the class very early and
never late to any class .One day I
decided to ask her why she was here,
coming all the way leaving her family
and coming to study at this age. She
told me that she is coming to learn
Page 18

French to help her grandsons because
they are studying the French language
in school. She said that she wanted to
tutor them.
Actually, I admire her; I liked her
passion and the determination she had
for helping. I think she is a great
woman. Even at this age, she has a
goal in her life: she is trying to leave a
role in her family before she leaves
this world and this is a noble goal in
her life. People will not forget such a
great woman in their lives.
There are many great stories like this
woman in the modern and ancient
history, stories of people who fought
until the end of their lives to learn and
to serve others. Now, it is our turn to
take this mission of learning and
education to increase the level of
creativity, to bring the development in
the human being and to make life easy
Page 19

for others. We should do this with
passion and love in all sciences. To
bring to this world more people like;
Albert Einstein,
Thomas
Edison,
Avicenna, Alkhwarizmi or any scientist
who brought the change in our lives by
his discovery and inventions. This will
happen if we consider the sciences as
a need to us like water and food. We
should take it with interest and enjoy
it. So we go beyond on it and keep
improving
in
our
journey.
One
interesting thing I heard from my
cousin who was studying (oil & gas
engineering)
at
Sultan
Qaboos
University in Sultanate of Oman. When
I asked him about his study and what
he is taking in his class, he told me
about a subject in which they study on
how to discover oil and how the oil is
formed over the ages and how people
look for it and discover it. He explains
it as an interesting subject matter that
makes me want to know more about it.
Page 20

I admired the way at how he looked at
the subject. He liked the subject that is
why he is enjoying it. When I told him
how much I enjoyed about his way of
explaining this subject and how easy
he made it for me, when it is supposed
to be a weighty subject. He told
me about his friend who came to ask
him about this field because he wants
to join and how he had convinced him
to join the course since he was excited
about it. His friend told him that he
was the only one who had explained it
to him so easily and made him like it,
wherein the others were looking at it
as a difficult field of study.
Dear readers, see the difference
between these two concepts. How we
can look at thing from different angles.
We can either make it easy or difficult
it which is all about us. So choose the
easy way and keep learning with
enjoyment and love.
Page 21

To create a generation who like and
admire the knowledge and learning it,
required many roles from different
categories in the society and those
are:
The role of organization (school &
colleges):
The role of organizations, which is in
this case, is the schools or colleges:
Maintain a healthy and perfect
environment
which
helps
students to succeed in this
education stage with all the
required tools and belongings.
Make
the
best

programs to increase the
students knowledge.

Communicate with the parents
to update them about their

Page 23

Teachers role:
You are as a teacher maybe you have
a very important and effective role, so:
Be energetic while teaching; dont
bring your problems along with
you. Dont let your students see
your anger or sadness (emotions).
Be
the
good
model
to
your
students in your behaviour

Use different methods of teaching
so you can reach to all types of
personality in the class.
Make a time to discuss with your
students
about
their
life
and
future to motivate them to do

their
best
in
their
studies.
Page 24

The time will be viable for both of
you even if it take from the
subjects time.
Motivate your students if they did
something special.
Give

opportunity
to
participate
to
all
in
the
class.
The role of parents:

The parents have a main role with

the
organization
especially in this time where the world
is a small village and students become
Page 25

affected easily with the
environment so you should:
external
Bring up your children with morale

and good values in them. It is
better you do that instead they
learn other bad habits from
outside. They dont learn from
being said, they learn from seeing
around.
Discus with your children about
the school and their study. Discuss
with them what they like and what
difficulties they face.
Help
your
children
in
understanding the homework by
making them wondering and
thinking about the solutions. Dont
try to write it instead of them.
Tell them success and more stories
this will make then gain the good
Page 26

behaviour and make them like
learning.
Let them chose whatever they like
to study. Dont force them to
choose subjects which you like
because it is their life but you can
guide them and give them ideas
about the opportunities in the life
for each subject. On the other
hand, it will strengthen their
personality if they learn to take a
decision from their childhood.
Communicate with your childrens
school to ask about their study and
their behaviour in the school.
Ask them about their friends to be
sure about their behaviour.
Students role:
You as a student play the main role if
you want to be successful in your life.
Page 27

All environments may be helpful
factors to support you but be sure that
you are the only one responsible for
your life .Your roles at this level of your
life are:
Respect your teachers and the
science generally and apply the
good values in your life.
Be patient while learning and
enjoy your study.
Be positive about your life and
dont search for excuses to any
failures. Deal with your weakness
and learn from any mistakes in
your
life.
I
remember
some students in my school who
were absent most of the time.
They didnt care about their study.
When I asked them,"Why they
were doing this?" they said,
"Because they change some of
Page 28

their teachers, so they are not
feeling comfortable with the new
teachers way of teaching. I told
them this is an excuse only. The
humans are always different and
everyone has his or her own way
of explanations. If you are going
to be like this you are the one who
is affected and in great loss. You
should adapt yourself to any
changes. We see that some
students face these kinds of
situations.
Acquire knowledge by reading and
visiting
others
places
like
companies,
factories,
and
museums.
Participate in school or college
activities, which will increase your
confidence and will add skills like
communication
and
critical
thinking. In addition, it will bridge
Page 29

relations and friends. However,
you have to be careful of your
time. Dont spend more time and
ignore your study and you will
lose excellent grade.

Allah gives the brain for the human

which differentiates between the
human and other creations. It is the
power, which makes us think and
analyze. The brain is the great power
of the human, which is the main
resource for the human improvement
and development from the beginning
of history. All the inventions that
happened and keep happening in this
word are because of our ability to use
our
brain.
Nevertheless,
unfortunately, many people ignore
this power and not using it. They stop
thinking and stop improving. They
stop using the brain to improve their
lives. They become happy with the
little they got, or by using all set thing
without any effort to improve their
life.
Page 32

In the beginning let us see the
difference between two words :( brain
and mind). The brain is the tangible
material, which is found inside our
head. And, the mind is incorporeal
ability which is related to our thinking,
learning and doing.
Until now, there is no clear explanation
about the brain and how it works. The
science is still discovering this great
power since this is not much important
to us. The most important is how we
use it. How we can make our life
better through it.
Many theories came explaining and
classifying the brain. Some theories
explain what types of materials it is.
Also, some explain how it works.
One popular explanation about the
brain power is the theory of multiintelligence for Howard Gardner in
Page 33

1983. He says that intelligence is
classified into seven types :( Linguistic,
Logical-Mathematical, Musical, BodilyKinesthetic,
Spatial-Visual,
Interpersonal and Intrapersonal). He
saying that everyone is strong in
something and thats consider as a
type of intelligence because the
person is using this ability to be
successful in his life.
In the following lines, we are going to
see what can be good for us among
these theories. How we can take
advantage by using our brain. We will
talk about the classification of
conscious and sub-conscious mind
theory.
The
conscious
mind
is
responsible for logic, analyzing and
thinking. It is responsible for our daily
decision-making. In the other hand,
the subconscious mind is responsible
for the all operations, which happened
in our body like: digestion, heartbeat,
Page 34

movements of our muscles and
breathing. All these operations happen
and are voluntary, without our direct
interacting, we have no power. It is a
mercy from God that we have no
control on these.
So what is the relation between these
two minds?
The
science
proof
that
the
subconscious mind is programmed by
the conscious mind. When we think or
repeat some behavior or we think or
repeat something to be stored in our
subconscious mind until it becomes
part of our personality. And, this
programming- if I can say happened
from different sides, maybe from us,
parents or the external environment. If
we listen to others always or if we are
seeing many things repeatedly like
advertisements on TV, it will be
remembered by our subconscious.
Page 35

Some people semi it as
the farm
.When you put seed in the farm it will
grow as same, nothing different like
the saying ,you reap what you sow
So be careful about the thoughts in
your mind ,especially about yourself.
Otherwise, you will lose the ability to
your power by putting bad ideas about
yourself and what you are capable of.
This is happening with many people,
they can achieve anything because of
their concepts and aides about
themselves. The scientists said that
humans are using less than 10 % of
their mind because of their concept
and thoughts. People are programmed
by ideas they hear from others. They
believe things that come to them
without analyzing them, whether true
or not. It is going to be part of your
personality. This is one reason why
some people attain excellence, but the
others do not. Some people are using
the mind to learn because they think
Page 36

that people can learn anything if they
put an effort to learn. However, the
others only see lose people who dont
want to use their power and the ability
from God. Therefore, you have to
decide to choose your way.
Dear
student,
I
want
you
to
set yourself. Look inside you, what are
your ideas about yourself? What are
your ideas about the others?
What are your ideas about the
education and learning? Be careful
about bad aides which come to your
mind from time to time and dont
except it easily.
One day I was giving a presentation in
a secondary school. After I finished, a
student came to me. He told me that
he wanted to be first in his class but
he could not and that he always came
in the second place. I asked him: why
Page 37

is this happening? Can you be number
one? He said: in an interrupted voice
with no confidence: maybe, Im not
sure. I asked him, "why?" He said
because the other boy is very
intelligent. Then I understood his
problem. I told him: first you should
believe in yourself otherwise you will
be always in the second place. The
other thing is you have to look at
yourself, not to the others. You should
keep improving and put in more effort.
Then you will be in the first place.
Also, I cant forget the students who
came to me while I was controlling
physics practical exam. The exam was
for groups of two students. And
because of the number of students,
some of them were waiting for their
turn. He came asking me to let him go
in the first group because he wanted
to leave early. But I told him that we
were following a system, so he should
Page 38

wait. He replied, No problem put me
alone; Im going to do it very fast. I will
write something because I didnt study
well! I told him why did he want to
lose marks in his last year and that he
needed to take care of his marks. Then
I started advising him about studies
and he should take care if he wants to
have a better future. Why should you
lose all these years without anything?
Nevertheless, he shocked me with his
answer. He said, Sir, its no use I
know my ability: even if I study I will
not get a good result. I realize the
problem on his beliefs and he is
convinced with his thoughts even
when I tried. So, I left him to face his
choice.
Unfortunately, you will find many
students with this mentality, who dont
believe in their abilities and will put in
no effort to improve. Thomas Edison
Page 39

said (The geniality are 1% vision and
99 % is effort)
How we can utilize our brain?
Learn to think:
What is thinking?
It is a series of activities, which our
brain makes when it gets any, reflexes
from our five senses. This will make
our brain work and analyze the coming
information.
Lets see what is the importance of
thinking?
Thinking is a very complicated
process: but it is very important for
improvements.
The
humankind
develops the way of living because
they start thinking and looking for new
ways for having a better life.
Page 40

It will be very helpful to you in many
ways too:
It will help you to raise your level

of understanding by giving you
ideas that are more creative.
It will strengthen your memory:

the brain is like any other muscle.
It strengthens by exercising and
the thinking is the exercise for the
brain.
Thinking
will
increase
your
knowledge by linking different
ideas to each other. This will give
way to have your own ideas.
It will give you more tools to deal

with any situation in your life
It will motivate to search and gain

more knowledge.
Page 41

You can realize that when you use your
brain you will see the things from
different angles. It will help you to be a
creative person in any level of your
life. Go ahead and use this power, be
creative in your way. Find something
that will make you proud of yourself.
Although there are many meanings of
creativity, but all are related to our
ability of mind and how we use it. Dr.
Tariq Al Suydan, a Saudi expert in
creativity and management in his book
(creativity) defines the creativity by
(Bringing something new) and another
meaning is (The intelligence and the
fast understanding), and some people
classified the intelligence upon the
(IQ):
Talented people: whose marks in the
exam are more than 130.
Page 42

Genius: whose results score more than
150.
Excellent: who score from 120 to 130.
However, at the end, you can increase
your brain ability by exercising and
practicing. Also, by reading, looking at
other resources and ideas and
analyzing it that requires so many
factors to happen. These factors are
internal and external motivators

in
the
To solve unexpected problems.

To follow the developments in the
modern world.
On the other side, there are many
boundaries to be creative and to reach
to excellence:
Laziness:
Laziness comes from the lake of
motivation and desire. This makes you
look out for an easy life and solutions.
People like this will live in their comfort
zone and dont want to leave it. They
do not want to put in any effort that
will affect their ability. They will not
benefit from the brain powers even if it
is there.
Procrastination:
Page 44

It is the worst habit, which someone
may have in his personality. This habit
makes you lose lots of your time in
doing nothing, or using it to do an
unimportant work, which will not add
anything to your life. Then you will
face a lot of pressure when it comes to
important
work like;
homework,
essays, and reports. This will make you
forget some details when doing it,
because you are going to lose
concentration by multitasking at one
time. So always prioritize work and
dont delay important work.
Lack of confidence:
Lack of confidence mostly comes from
different reasons like the knowledge
about something. When you dont
know some information about some
subject, you are worried about it. The
other reason is the internal talk. When
we talk to ourselves negatively it will
Page 45

reflect on our personality. Maybe the
other reason is the doubt in the ability.
People, in this case, think they cannot
be better. They will see one point in
their personality, which may be the
weak point and drop it in total
personality. They will see and repeat
these phrases (Im not good in
physics, or mathematic or any other
subject).So
they
will
consider
themselves as not good at all, and
they will see themselves as weak
personalities.
You can try these suggestions to deal
with such issues:
Trust yourself and believe that
the God gave you the power you
need to live in your life. Ask God
for support and good luck.
Read about anything you require
in your study or the things which
Page 46

you need to deal in your life. Look
into resources if you see the
information you have is not
enough.
Prepare for any task in advance.
Utilize your
matter.

in
good
Dont delay or procrastinate any

important task.
Talk to yourself positively.
Repeat always that you are
intelligent, you are talented, you
have a good memory, and you
have
self-confidence).
These
phrases will help to program your
mind and prepare your interior
environment.
Page 47

Remind self that you have strong
points in your personality that will
allow you to be a successful
person if you use it. So find your
strengths and go ahead in your
life.
Take the responsibility for your
life.
Use the imagination to program
your
mind.
Einstein
said,
Imagination is stronger than the
reality.
Take this exercise for imagination
and repeat it always for anything
you want (like self-confidence,
strong memory...ets).
o Set in a very calm place where
nobody can disturb you.
Page 48

o Take a slow, deep breath until
you feel relaxed in all parts of
your body.
o Imagine the goals you want to
achieve.
Imagine
your
successes like you are in the
graduation ceremony and you
are getting your certificate.
o Imagine your beloved people
are happy for you and your
achievements. Imagine them
congratulating you for the
great achievements. You got it
because your hard work and
patience.
o Imagine your beloved person
giving you a gift for this
success.
o Be in this situation for few
minutes with all feelings:
happiness, love, excitement....
Page 49

Finally, I can say if we dont use our
brain it will be like we dont have it. It
is like when you have a luxurious car
and you are not using it. So use it by
learning and imagining. Put good and
positive thoughts in yourself. Believe
that you can do what others can do if
you put in enough effort which is
required to be successful.

yourself, values, beliefs, and strengths
that will help you succeed in your
whole life. This will help you to choose
your way, your strategy to use in this
world. It will make your life journey
easier because you will be ready with
all potential. Like, when you are going
on a journey and you know what you
have with you like; your tools, food,
cooking stuff, you have checked your
car. In this case you will not face any
problem mostly. But if you are not
prepared, maybe you will stop
somewhere; you may face the
difficulties because you are not ready
and didnt prepare yourself along with
the necessities. So you should know
what you have. What skills, abilities
you have in your caricature to choose
the field you want to study and the
Page 52

subjects
you
want
to
choose.
In this chapter, I'm going to give you a
tool which has been used to analyze
the organizations and also that can be
used to analyze our personality and
help us to identify what we have. Its
called the (SWOT) analyses.
It is a shortcut for a few words which

mean:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
The first two (strength, weakness) are

related to your internal environment or
to you as a person. What characters,
skills, and abilities you have in your
personality. The other part is related to
Page 53

external environment which you dont
have any control on. The two points,
(opportunity, threat) which can help
you or stop you from reaching your
goals. It depends on your current
status and life position. I mean where
you are now during the analysis. You
should
understand
and
analyze
yourself frankly if you want to
succeed. Here is more explanation
about each one.
Strength points:
What are you internal strengths in

your personality like?
Strong memory
Creativity
Fast understanding
Problems solving
Self-confidence
Page 54
Analyzing skills
Strong body
Length
Mathematic skills
Communication skills
And any other skills you know in your

personality whether it psychological,
mental or physical. Especially, in this
level of life, where you should know
yourself more than anyone else. My
advice to you is to sit alone and
discover yourself, because it is very
important even if you will take a long
time to understand yourself but it will
be valuable for you in the future.
The knowledge of strength points will
make you concentrate on it and use it
to catch the coming opportunities
which will make you stronger. In
addition, use these points to get out of
the weakness in your personality. Also,
utilize your strengths to avoid the
Page 55

threats and difficulties in the external
environment. Strength points are your
weapon to face this life and go ahead
in the way of success. One expert said
(when you are young use your
strength to reach to success and get
your goals, while when you will be
older concentrate in strengthening
your weakness)
Weakness points:
Human
beings
are
always
not
complete in their characters. Theres
always a weakness. We always require
each other to be complete. But,
everyone is strong in something;
everyone in this life is for some
purpose to serve others. Whatever is
your weakness, dont bother about it
and make it your issue or you keep
thinking about it until you forget your
strengths.
If
you
have
some
weaknesses in your personality dont
Page 56

ignore it. Know it and try to make a
time to strengthen it. Dont ignore it
until it affects your result or generally
it will affect your life.
Some of the
personality:
weakness
in
our
Memory weakness
Laziness
Procrastination
Dispersion
Impulsive decision
Lack of communication
These
are
only
examples,
not
necessary it is in your personality.
Also, it varies from person to another.
Maybe some points are strength in
other but it is a weakness with others.
It all depends on your personality and
what you want to achieve in your life
and how you are going to utilize these
points to help you. I assist again in
reminding you; concentrate on the
Page 57

strong points in your personality
whatever weakness you have. If you
have some weakness doesnt mean
that you are a weak person. Its only in
some of your abilities and this is
always in human nature.
Opportunities (external factor ):
The opportunities are factors from
external environment, which can help
you if you can grasp it. Use it to
support you and enhance you up in
your life.
Some of the factors that may be in
your life are:
The time.
The money.
Social life.
Family support.
Page 58

Political environment.
The low.
The economic.
The relations.
Use these opportunities what you have
as a person to improve yourself. For
example, if you are weak in some
subjects, like math for example, and
you have the money, you can take a
private lesson or attend extra class if
you have time to that. Another
example if you want to study in some
specific fields, but it is not in your
town, your family can support you
monetarily to go to the place where
you can study what you want.
Threats or challenges:
Threat, challenges, or difficulties give
us the same meaning. It is the factors,
Page 59

which may challenge our life of study
in particular. These external factors
are opportunities to others, but for us
it maybe challenges.
These factors can be:
Distance
Money
Family
Political environment
The low
Ensure your life; see what challenges

you have and how you can avoid it.
The distance could be a challenge if
you are staying far from the colleges
or libraries. Because you may do not
have some resources to help you in
your study. Because of the distance,
you will lose a lot of your time while
Page 60

going and coming back. This time, you
may use it to study or do another task.
Ten years ago, I was working in an
area, which was two hours from the
city Muscat, and I had the desire to
study to improve myself. I was working
in the Ministry of Education at that
time. I used to finish my work at 2 PM
and then had lunch. After that, I had to
drive for two hours to attend the
course, which started at 5 pm. Then
again, I had to go back for another 2
hours driving back home. It was a
tough day for me. Since I was
exhausted I missed most of the
classes. I remained to do this for
mostly 2 years; I was patient because I
wanted to improve myself. Six years
ago, I shifted to Muscat and it was
much easier for me to study because
there were more places to go, also I
saved a lot of time when compared to
when I was in my town in Al-Sharqiya.
Page 61

This is an example of a challenge and
how I overcame it and on how it
affected me positively in my life.
Important notes after analyses

yourself:
Determine your strengths and
concentrate on them. Use it to
reach your goals and also to
strength your weakness.
Determine your weakness and
dont ignore or avoid it because it
will affect your life. On the other
hand dont let it affect your
performance by concentrating on
it and making it as an excuse to
any sudden failure. Try to solve it
by the time. Strengthen it as a
target for you.
Page 62

Dont give an excuse for yourself
by concentrating on the weak
points in your personality. If you
see it affecting your life and study,
strengthen
it
by
using
the
opportunities you have.
Use the opportunities to support
your strength. If you could put
your strength points along with the
available opportunities. You will
get maximum successes in your
life.
If you have any challenge in the
surrounding environment, look for
other opportunities somewhere
else. Nevertheless, dont give up
by taking it as an excuse.

PLAN YOUR
LIFE
&
STUDY
Plan your life & study

What is planning?
Page 65

It is imagining the future in mind and
taking the effective steps to achieve it
and get to it.
Planning is an essential skill for
everyone who wants to excel in his life
.To have a clear vision is very
important. If you want to achieve,
compete with others and be in a better
position in the future, it will draw the
map of your life and give you the
guidelines to your directions. A good
planning
will
increase
your
productivity and make your life easier.
There are many benefits for planning
such as:
It gives you a clear vision to

your life.
Prepare you for the future.
It will save your time.
It will boost your potential

power to achieve more and do
your best.
Page 66
Increase the productivity.
If you ask some unsuccessful people

what they want to be in their life, they
will not answer you or they say
something to be successful without
determining how or on what they want
to be successful. That way this will
lead to nothing or the achievement
will not be as expected or may never
come!
When I was working in a school as a
technician, during my course I gave a
presentation to the society. I asked
them what they wanted to be in the
future. These were the answers I
mostly got.
I want to finish my studies and
then I will decide!
I want to work in the military or
government!
Page 67

I want to
university!
go
to
college
or
Some of them simply said, I dont

know.
All these answers will make you
shocked because this indicates that
they dont know where they are going,
why they are studying or what they
want to do in life?! Especially if they
are students in the last year of their
study, whether in school or university.
Really, I do not know in what regard
they chose these subject to study!
These issues need to be studied and
solutions made and should be taken
care from the organizations and
society if they want the community to
be better and everyone to be
productive and play an important role
in his life in serving his nation.
Page 68

All these answers are a desire because
it is not determined which will get the
student confused and dispersed about
his choices in this life so these goals
need to be clear.
In 1983 a study was made in Harvard
University for students in their last
year of graduation from Business
study. They asked the students what
they wanted to do after graduation; 90
% of them said that they didn't know,
7% determined their goal was to
become a manager , a salesman or a
sale manager or an interpreter or
business man.3% also determined
their goal and had written it.
After 20 years when they follow their
life route they find that, the income of
the 3% who had determined and had
written their goals was equal to the 90
% together. This is because they had a
clear vision about their life and about
Page 69

what they wanted to do. This will help
them concentrate and motivate them
to go ahead, to achieve it and make an
action plan to get to their goals. Then
they choose the tools which can help
them and which can overcome the
challenges that they face.
So dear students, you should have a
clear vision about your life and future
whether jobs or subjects you want to
study. This will help you to be one of
the best and efficient people in life.
Choose subjects, which you desire,
based on your skills and abilities.
Also, be careful not to do as some
students who choose courses and jobs
because their friends or parents
influenced them to. Because after
some time you will see that it is
against your desire and maybe you
will lose the interest in studies and
may discontinue college.
Page 70

Here are some advices, which will help
you to determine and help chose your
field of study:
1-
Chose the subjects which fit

your abilities or desires.
Ask others who can help you or guide

you, and who you can trust and the
most important thing is that they
should have the knowledge about it.
2-
Dont listen to anyone trying to

upset you about your choice.
Eventually it is your route to
life and you will have to walk it
alone. Face these challenges
whatever may come, if you
believe that you will reach your
goals one day.
3-
Take care of the need in the

market in the future before you
chose the subject of study
because you may find it difficult
Page 71

when you graduate from college
after years of study but at the
end, it is your desire and passion
to learn.
Make sure of your choice and how it
will be in the future as the great
motivator
and
writer Stephen
R.
Covey said in his book (the 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People), BEGIN WITH
THE END IN MIND, that will make your
vision clear about your future and how
you can handle it and reduce the
pressure from you if you face any
challenge.
Dear reader, the beginning of your
planning is in knowing how to plan,
how to set your goals if you do not
know because many people do not
plan because they dont know how to
plan. So let us start our journey by
using some parameters, which will
help you set your goal that will give
Page 72

you a clear vision to measure your
achievements. We are going to use
(SMART) tool to set smart goals and
this tool is being used also for
planning even for organizations.
The
letters
abbreviation.
SMART,
is
an
Specific: it means to determine

what you want exactly like (electric
engineer ,teacher )
Measurable: so you can measure
after time , where you reach, what
you achieve ).
Achievable: you can get it for your
ability, your assets, and what you
have now).
Page 73

Realistic: this means it is not a
dream or something you cant get
ever.
Timed: to achieve your goal easier
you had better link it to a time so
you will understand if you will
reach or not .Also, it will show if
any changes can be made in your
plan.
Here are some examples:
To have a bachelor degree in
electrical engineering in 2023.
I speak 3 languages (English,
French, and Arabic) in December
2020.
To have a Mercedes car model of
S550 in 2019
When you plan to take in consideration
that your goal is already achieved and
Page 74

you have to make an action plan to
get it. The action plan will start from
the time you set the plan until you
reach your goals. The next step is to
work on a daily, weekly or monthly
basis to reach this goal. You separate
the goals into different categories as
some specialists say:
Short term goals: it can be from
one day to a month of period
Midterm goals: it takes half way
of your last destination or vision
Long term goals: This is your
vision or final destination.
So plan a long term and work for it.
This will give better result if its
planned monthly or annual as all
experts in the strategic planning says.
Also, keep working on it whatever you
face or even if you fail in some
Page 75

mistakes but this will help you and
make you stronger. Be sure to plan
better than going nowhere as one
expert says :(If you dont plan you will
be in the others plans ) and this is
absolutely true because you are doing
nothing , so people try to utilize you to
achieve their plans and you get
nothing rather than the hard effort
with little income .
Plan your activities:

The school days are full of activities
and tasks whether for an individual or
with a group. In both cases, we are
asked to finish these tasks in advance
with good quality and this will not
come if we dont plan for it in very well
because we have many things to do in
our life. Also maybe we will have many
Page 76

tasks, homework for other subjects
and if you delay it you will face a lot of
pressure in your study. This will affect
your results and average. So dear
dont be like the lazy students who
keep delaying their work until the day
of submission and they may not finish
it or they will take a copy from others
or from the internet.
Plan your work in advance and keep a
time to review it .Furthermore ,this will
give you time to see other references
and look to others research will
increase the quality of your research
or report with less spelling mistakes. In
addition, you can give a nice and a
professional format if you have the
time to finish it prior to the submission
day.
So do not delay it and live in tension
because of the lack of time which
would make you nervous and tired and
Page 77

which will lead to losing your
concentration which in case will affect
you in the other subjects. I had this
experience when I started my
masters .I had taken a part time study.
I had a lot of things to do in my life
rather than studying. I had to take
care of my work, family and social life.
So, I wasnt studying enough. The time
passed very fast for me. I was busy in
my life activities with not much care
for my studies. I was delaying some
activities with my group, not putting in
much effort to read or search for other
resources. This put me in a lot of
pressure
before
submitting
my
research. However, I learnt a lesson
from this and in the other semesters,
thats why I wanted to share this with
you.
To avoid all these points in your study
take this advice, which will help you
to plan and organize your activities:
Page 78

o Make a clear plan to all activities,
and then allot it to the days,
keeping in mind of the submission
day deadline.
o Write your plan and put it in an
apparent place where it is easier
to see it so you remember it.
o Check for other recourses and
references from libraries, friends
or the internet and prepare to
help you in your tasks and
reports.
o Ask your professor if something
not clear to you. This is better
than working wrongly or you make
something which is not required
so you do not waste your time.
o Discuss what you wrote with your
friends and colleagues. This will
give you more ideas or can
Page 79

explore and add other points to
your work.
o Complete your project at least one
or two days before the final
submission or review. This will
facilitate you to review, check
spellings and make a good format
for the work.
At the end of this chapter, I can
declare that planning is very
essential if we want to succeed in
our lives inclusive of other activities.
We should know what we want and
how to get it. We should write a
plan for our lives with different
activities because everything will
affect each other. It may consume
some time but, at the end, you will
benefit. You will attain excellence;
you will be one of the great leaders.
As the Arabic poetry says, (If you
want to be adventurous, do not be
Page 80

satisfied rather than getting to the
stars, because the death in a small,
silly matter is the same as the
death in a great matter). So go
ahead and start planning your life
for greater goals and immense
achievements.
STEP # 4
Page 81
PRIORITIZE
YOUR LIFE &
TIME
EFFECTIVELY
Prioritize your life & time effectively:
Dear student, after you set your
plans and goals, which you actually
want in your life, now is the time to
start planning in accomplishing it.
You can do that if you set a plan to
work on it. This requires time from
you to put forward your plan. So,
you need to check your time and
Page 82

how you are going to manage it.
Because, time is the most valuable
thing we have, ever. The time we
lost is never found again. Our life is
a onetime offer. Use it well. This
means that
we are also losing a
part and phase of our age. So dear
reader, utilize the time in an
efficient manner. Do tasks which will
add something to your life. Al Hasan
Al Basery, a scientist from Iraq
said,"(Oh son of Adam, you are only
days. If it goes, some of you are
gone).
We all have 24 hours, but we can see
many
people
have
different
perceptions about it. Some of them
say, they do not have time and on the
other side, some of them say they
have a lot of time and they do not
know how to kill it.
Page 83

Managing time will benefit in many
things: Increase in productivity and
effectiveness.
Reduce the pressure on you
Reduce the wariness that is
related to the achievement.
Organize your life.
Make you stronger than others.
We all have the same time, but the
difference is how we utilize it. Observe
how you are using your time. Is the
work you are doing lead you to your
goals? Or just you are spending time in
some activities which will add nothing
to your life and then regret saying that
you dont have time. Many people
spend a lot of time in social media,
talking to each other for hours.
Alternatively, they are watching TV
programs, which will not serve any
advantage to them. I am not saying
that these activities futile, but I would
like to ask you to concentrate in tasks
Page 84

that will help you reach your goals in
life.
To organize your life, you should know
what are the most important tasks are
for you, which leads to the big goals.
Then you should prioritize your
activities. Go with the compass
concept. The compass points to the
directions to navigate you, likewise
you should get your directives set
towards the goals. If you have to do
two jobs at the same time by yourself
which work will be beneficial to me?
For e.g., if you are studying for an
exam and suddenly your friends ask
you to go with them to watch a movie,
ask yourself which task is necessary
for you. Is it studying or watching
a movie at this point of time? Also, if
you have two choices: reading a
magazine or studying your subject?
Which will you choose?
Page 85

Lead your life using this strategy; it
will help you very much. At the end,
we are controlling our time and we
deciding how to spend it.
As the priority square which mentions
in Stephen Covey book, we are living
in four squares:
Importance & the urgency: this
square contains the unexpected
work, problems, sudden visits,
sickness days. We sometimes
cannot control these things
because they are unpredictable.
The
importance&
nonemergency: this square is the
most important square for us.
This is the improvement lifetime.
These activities will help us to
reach our goals like; studying,
planning, building relationships,
creativity and working.
Page 86

Not important & urgent: these
tasks also take a lot from our
time;
like;
calls,
emails,
interruptions from others, etc
Not important& not urgent:
unfortunately, many people fall
into the trap of this square. They
lose their time for nothing. They
are whiling away talking, on
social medias, chatting, too much
sleeping and watching many TV
programs.
Now again see yourself, in which
square do you fit.
Finally, I can summarize few points
that can help you to organize your life
and prioritize your time:
o Determine your goals accurately,
so you dont lose your time while
shifting from task to another.
Page 87

o Set a specific time to tasks by
the hour and minutes so you will
make yourself free at that time.
(see the table at the end of this
chapter)
o Get rid of all habits which take a
lot of your time from your life.
o Work smartly by finding ways to
save time in the activities
o Say (no) politely for any friend
trying to steal your time.
o Use memos to organize your
work and priorities it.
o Set a weekly time-table to look at
your plans.
o Use the waiting time in (bus
station, trains, and hospital.) to
add
advantage
to
your
Page 88

personality by reading, planning
or thinking.
o Delegate the tasks which others
can help you in it.
Here are a table I create it and I hope
it will help you to organize yourself
and time:

STEP # 5
EFFECTIVE
STUDY
Page 91

Effective study:
Although many of us are trying to do
our best to obtain a good result in our
academics, we are unfortunately not
getting what we want. This is because
we do not follow the correct things to
achieve it. Are we putting in enough
effort or are we studying in the correct
way?
Although God has given us the abilities
that we require to be successful in life,
and the ability to achieve, some of us
are unable to attain because they
dont use their brain for improvement.
Many people do not trust themselves
and their brains. They keep saying,
Im not intelligent or I have a weak
memory." Tony Buzan, the expert of
memory and speed-reading said that
(there is no strong memory or weak
memory, only skilled or unskilled
memory). The brain is like any other
Page 92

muscle that needs to be strengthened
by exercising. It has to be trained by
reading, thinking and analyzing. When
you strengthen your memory it will be
easy for you to store and recall the
information. The problem happens
when we are storing the information in
our mind .This happens because we
are not concentrating. We are multitasking at the same time. That is why
we face difficulty when we try to
remember, because the information is
saved randomly. So, you have to do
one task at a time.
There are many ways for effective
studying:
Organize your place:
Organizing
your
place
is
very
important for getting the information
you
want.
It
will
help
you
physiologically.
You
will
feel
Page 93

comfortable and relaxed. So prepare
the place of study with a good
illumination and prefer the natural
light from the sun, otherwise have a
lamp with white color. The other
required thing is good ventilation,
where you can get fresh air. This will
provide your body with the required
oxygen.
The other thing before you start is
to organize and clean your table from
cluttered papers that are not required
in the study at that time. Only keep
the materials those you want to study
or you need it as a reference. This will
keep
your
mind
prepared
and
concentrated.
Continuous reading:
Another element to the effective study
and gaining knowledge in all ages is
continuous reading. As we have
Page 94

mentioned continuous studying will
help you to strengthen you memory,
and this will help you follow-up with all
lessons and retain it in your mind. The
dilation
will
make
the
lessons
accumulate in you and this will put
pressure on you, if you do not start
slowly with the subjects you like, or
other interesting books or magazine
until you start reading and liking it.
Read books of famous writers, which
will help you to improve your skills.
You will find them in the libraries or
even in the net as E-books. These
days, more than 2 million books are
published yearly. If I ask you how
many books you have read until now I
wouldnt get a positive answer. You
have to keep reading to be kept
updated about the improvement which
is happenings in the world.
Many people learn speed-reading to
increase the number of pages in a
Page 95

minute. The expert Tony Buzan who
has many books and videos on the net
improves it. In this technique, they will
learn more and get the chance to get
a lot of information. This may allow
you to read more than 1000 word
every minute if you keep practicing.
The normal reading rate is 100 to 400
words every minute. You can see the
difference before and after. Many
famous people were popular for
speed-reading like; The Presidents of
the United State John F. Kennedy and
Roosevelt. Are they are saying
Roosevelt finished a book during his
breakfast? Moreover, from the old
times, there is Imam Al-Shafiy who
was covering the other page of
another book because he did not want
the information to interact.
There are many reasons that make our
reading slow:
Page 96

Reading loudly
Reading word by word
Re-reading the sentences.
Stop
at
some
words
understand the meaning to
The most important thing is
understand the whole meaning
the phrase in the context.
to
it.
to
of
The above are some rationale that will

make us as slow readers. It hinders us
from reading many books and acquires
less of information.
Speed-reading also allows you to
understand more because you are
concentrated and dont get bored. It is
like driving a car at low speed, and
enjoying the sights passing by, here
and there. However, when you are
driving fast, you concentrate only on
Page 97

the path. By reading more, you will
brush- up the facts . You will learn new
vocabulary that helps you link the
information
and
refine
your
communication.
How to start speed- reading? Follow
these techniques and you can find
many books related to it:
1.
Firstly, prepare your mind to

read, understand and get rid of
any other thoughts.
2.
Give yourself a positive remark

that you enjoy and understand all
the subjects.
3.
Get a book you want to read by

skimming through it and knowing
about what it is.
4. Use a pointer to help you

follow the lines, so your eyes will
Page 98

concentrate on that line, and not
in other places.
5.
Keep a distance of 30 cm from

the eyes so it will be easy to
determine and see all the lines.
6.
Read
to
understand
all
meanings and not memorize the
words.
7.
Dont
repeat
reading
the
sentence. Trust yourself and your
brain to understand from the
beginning.
It is an easy way to get started with.

Be reminded to keep practicing until
you feel that you are good in the
technique. Dont expect to improve
within a short span. It needs time to
be perfect even it takes months.
Ultimately, you will benefit.

To organize and save the information
you read, I advise you to use the mind
maps. It is an easy and effective way
to keep all information together, easy
for you to get back to it and remember
all information. They found that many
scientists like; Albert Einstein, Newton,
Leonardo Da Vinci, and Galileo used
the same technique to save their
information. The concept behind it is
to store the information as a photo
and
codes
because
our
brain
understands better like that of the
nervous system.
How to draw it?
All you need is a plain white paper like
a drawing book and color pens and
follow these steps:
In the middle of the paper, draw the
main idea that you are going to
7 EFFECTIVE STEPS TO EXCELLANCE Page 100

write about. Better to draw a picture
related to the subject.
Draw branches starting from the
main idea and these branches will
talk about the main ideas.
Mark each branch with different
colors.
As the branches go further, the
thickness of the idea will be less. It
is mostly like tree branches.
Choose one, two, or three maximum
main words that will express the
idea in each branch. Concentrate on
the keywords that will lead you to
the main idea.
Draw colored photos related to each
idea; this will help you to remember.
Do not care about the how good
your drawing is; the most important

is to understand it. You can also use
some programs on the computer to
draw. In my opinion, it is better to
draw it by hand yourself

Finally, I would like to summarize this
chapter with these advices:
Prepare your lessons in advance,
so
you
reduce
the
pressure
during studying.
Make a good place for studying
which
have
good
ventilation,
calm and good lighting

Organize your place before and
after your studying.
Be positive about yourself and
repeat
positive
phrases
like
(confidence, good memory, and

understanding.)
Learn speed reading practice it to
increase your knowledge.
Summarize the information like
mind
maps
to
help
you
in
remembering it.
Choose the good way and place
where you feel comfortable and
relaxed to study.
STEP # 6
CONCENTRATIO
N:
Concentration:
There is a saying about the brain,
What you think will become your
reality. This means, you get what you

focus on, so focus on what you want. If
you concentrate on one thing, you will
ignore the other. If you concentrate in
games, you will be in a playful mode.
On the other side if you think about
your study you will enjoy it. Now you
have to choose whether you want to
concentrate on studies or games.
Dear student, these days you can
easily get distracted, whether on
mobiles, social media or any other
medium. Eckhart Tolle, says in his
book (The power of now) explaining
how the mind looses concentration
and why. He said (we are not living our
life as it is. He says most of us are not
living in the present; we are living
either in the past or in the future. We
are still living in the past and affected
by old experience, especially the bad
incidents.) This is one of the reasons
that keep us from concentrating.

In school or college, you may be busy
with many things like; friends, games,
problems or home. All these will cause
loss of concentration and that is why
you are not able to grasp any
information when the lesson is taught
in class. Different ideas at the same
time affects in the storage of
information. One day I was passing
through the schools corridor when I
saw one student holding a basket and
making it as a drum and he was
singing. When he saw me, he stopped
and tried to walk away but I called
him. I told him this is not the right time
and place to play the drums and that
he had the free time after school or in
the music class if he wanted to, but
this was study time, to go to class and
study.
You will find many examples like this.
Everyone is busy with something.
Some are busy with their friends and

being good in front of them. Some are
busy with their personal problems or
thoughts about other activities. So as
student you need to concentrate on
many things to reach your goals.
Concentration on reading:
To get benefit from reading, you need
to concentrate on each word. This will
allow you to link the opinions with
each other. Take it as life lessons, as
you are going to need it until the end
of your life, not as information for an
exam or just to study to finish the
school. This will not give the
importance to the brain. It is going to
think and be busy with something else
during your reading. This is why some
people say that they have a weak
memory but the truth is that they lose
their concentration during the learning
process and loose some of the
information from the mind. If you are

unable to remember data, it must be
because of this reason. Notice how you
are studying. Are you studying or
reading in front of the TV or listening
to music or is your mind busy with
something else? If you want to
concentrate on your studies, have a
fixed time and a place away from TV
and mobile, so nobody can disturb
you. Also, free your mind at that
moment. Try to keep all thoughts
which are not related away. Even if
unwanted thoughts occur, try to go
back to your study moments. This
needs a little practice until you are
able
to
control
your
thoughts.
Furthermore, determine one subject
each time and be ready for it mentally
before you really start. The other
things are, prepare everything you
need like; pen, papers, drinking
wateretc) so you will not lose your
concentration by going to and fro.
These will increase your concentration

and allow you to get the maximum
benefit of studying.
STEP # 7
TAKE CARE OF
YOUR HEALTH

Take care of your health
Heath is a very valuable asset to
everyone. Without health, you cant do
any activities. You will be sick; you
cant move and do any activity or
think properly. You will lose your
energy and concentration. At the age
of study you should take care of your
health especially if you are a teenager.
This is the age for starting and having
good habits, which you get habitual for
the rest of your life. You should take
into consideration many factors and
elements that affect your health.
These elements are:
Nutrition:
The food is an essential element for
all living kinds for many reasons:

o It provides the body with
required narration elements to
live a healthy life.
o It provides our body with energy.
o It allows you to do different
activities.
o It strengthens your immune
system to protect your body and
fight the diseases.
o It recovers the damage cells and
organs.
It relates to your way to excellence in
life. Many studies prove that it affects
our brains ability. A study made in the
Hospital of Oakland University for
Physiological Studies, took 16 children
considered to lack in the brain by
overacting, being hyperactive or slow
learning. They modified their nutrition
system by reducing the artificial

preservatives, soft drinks, sweet and
sugars. They continued to do so by
observing the children for three to six
months. They found that there was an
improvement in their intelligence,
averaging from 5 to 30 points with an
average of 17.5 points. They analyzed
that nutrition had an effect on the IQ.
So be careful about the food you
consume. Try to have a variety of food
and drinks which will provide your
body with all the elements and
minerals.
Have
vegetables,
fruits,
carbohydrates, and proteins. Reduce
soft drinks; replace it with milk and
fruit juices. Drink a lot of water. It is
advisable to have at least two liters of
water daily and this depends on your
activities. The lack of water may cause
dehydration which will have an
adverse affect on your organs.
Furthermore, some research proves

that dehydration may cause stupidity
and
can
affect
the
level
of
understanding. Allah says in the great
Quran,
we
made
from
water
everything alive. Drink water even if
you arent thirsty. Other drinks will not
replace water.
Sleeping:
The other important element for
health is sleeping. It is very important
for our body. It will help to recover the
body after a long day of hard
activities. It will help to reorganize and
rejuvenate your internal system.
Until today, all study proves that
humans need 6 to 8 hours of sleep and
when you become older it will be less
than that. Try to sleep early, and not
after 12 am, in view of the fact that
the body at this time will secrete the
hormone (melatonin), which helps the

body to relax and recover. Also, it will
help you to go into a deep sleep. You
should know that the hormone is
sensitive to the light, so sleep in a
dark room. Furthermore, try to take a
nap in the afternoon if the time and
place are possible to recharge
yourself. In addition, you should know
that a lot of sleeping is not good for
your body. Sleep more only when
required are like if you sick, tired or as
required by the age.
Sports:
The last element to health is sports,
because it also affects the body in
many ways:

It will energize the body cells and
elements.
Accelerate the blood circulation
which will affect in increasing the
oxygen and other elements in the
body which lead to improving the
state of our brain.
Strengthen the heart muscle which
leads in increasing the blood level
in the body.
The old quote says, Health and good
brain is in a healthy body. That is why
we should make time to play sports.
We are advised to do sports three days
per week, at least walking for half an
hour. Choose a convenience sport,
which fits you and your time. Also,
take into consideration and dont put
in a lot of effort in sport unless your
goal in life is to become an Olympic
champion or preparing yourself for

some competitions. I mean, do not let
sports take a lot of your time and lose
a lot of your energy .This will make
you ignore the most important thing in
this stage which is study. Study is
your weapon to succeed in your life,
achieve your goals and live a happy
life.
Conclusion
