Tear-jerker about a study book? A message to all examinees from someone who read "The Moment Study Becomes Fun" by Park Sung-hyuk
Many of you might have thought "Huh?" when reading the title, right? This time, I would like to share my thoughts after reading "The Moment Study Becomes Fun."
・Examinees who can't find the motivation to study
・People who are feeling mentally exhausted from studying
I highly recommend this book to you.
"I'm doing X, but will I make it to Y University?" Answers to common questions
Examinees who have been doing their best in their own way but are seeing their results plateau, or examinees who have been lazy until now. It seems that the more realistically disadvantaged you are when aiming for an entrance exam, the more likely you are to ask teachers or post on social media, "Will I make it to this university in the remaining days?" Park Sung-hyuk gives this answer to that question: "The question 'Is it too late?' is the biggest proof that you already think it is too late." When I heard these words, it felt like a lightning bolt struck my head. It was because I thought it was truly a perfect answer. "Deep down, I already know it's too late, but I still want to believe I can make it." I think everyone feels this way as the actual exam date approaches. However, to bridge the "gap in progress," "gap in ability," and "gap in scores," I think it is more important to accept the reality in front of you and work desperately hard.
The nobility of being able to study
From the second half of this book, the text continues to appeal to the soul about how luxurious and grateful it is to be able to study, covering the feelings of parents watching over their children, and people who could not study due to economic reasons or human rights violations even though they wanted to. It contains poems about parents who work hard and sweat to earn money because they are worried about their children, and stories that convey pure love where parents would rather lose a part of their own body to help their child. It also included episodes of children who could not study even if they wanted to due to war or racial discrimination. I realized once again that while we are studying in peace, there are many people somewhere on Earth who absolutely cannot study even if they want to. Can you hold your head high in front of your parents or those who cannot study even if they want to? After reading this book, I decided to be grateful that I can study and do my best on the tasks in front of me.
Conclusion
As you can see, this book is one that describes "how you should be" as an examinee, even before discussing how to improve your scores on entrance exams. Even for those who are not motivated to study or do not understand the meaning of studying, it is sure to be a catalyst for boosting your motivation for exams. Please pick it up and read it.
To all examinees
Through this book, I realized that in order to win at entrance exams, it is important not to treat studying as a job, but to learn with your heart and enjoy it. By studying, you gain not only academic ability but also "intellectual curiosity" and "perseverance." Even if it is painful, if you overcome it, I believe you will definitely become stronger. To that end, please bite into the problems in front of you right now and keep at it until you can solve them. If you have any questions, put them into words and ask your teacher. I think the thrill of solving problems smoothly will be even greater for the amount of time you spent working persistently. I sincerely hope that through these exams, you will pass your desired school and gain a great amount of time.
